Yes I like this and it is similar to my concrete idea, heating limestone to make quicklime which is mixed with clay, sand, water and crushed rock (cobblestone?) to make concrete which has been used as an very important building material for a long time in history

Yes I looked it up and it fits with the theme as the ancient romans were the first people to effectively harness its use and it was used in the egyptian times so it does fit with the whole not too advanced theme quite well I think but yeh it is a little beyond the primitive timeframe so steel tools should be needed to turn certain rocks into aggregate I am thinking

Yeh I see your point now I look back at the OP, maybe I should change just to focus on the concrete idea?

Yes I have never played those two mods so I was unaware that they actually had some of these ideas implemented sorry I did not say it would make it realistic I said it would add 'real life concepts'

Main idea: I was thinking that as this mod has a slight aim to add real life concepts to the game, that it could be good to add some more realistic chemical building techniques. For example solid rock blocks should not just be able to easily be made from heating for example limestone should have to be thermally decomposed and then mixed with clay, sand, water and crushed rock (all of which conveniently happen to be in-game already) to make concrete which should be a building material. To make the aggregate perhaps a steel hammer, or a new blueprint, should be used to make it accessible later in the game and a maybe a kiln has to be made? Other possibles?: Aswell as this idea, metals such as copper are not generally just extracted by heating but instead by electrolysis which would not be too hard to integrate into the game as it could use other metals to make electrodes which would touch a water source block and be given a redstone current and then you just throw in the ores into the water source block and leave them to purify. Also, I think it would be interesting to add crude oil as another liquid found ingame and have the proccess of fractional distillation dumbed down so only a few fuels are produced such as methane, propane and butane but then these can be used as a much better fuel than raw coal or wood and have better advantages but are harder to obtain.

I just shiver at the thought of having epic Red Steel Plate Armour
