77.12 Strangeness with crucible, pig iron

[JohnTzimisces 0]

This might be nothing. Maybe I'm just a little confused about the math involved. Right.

 

So, I get my first blast furnace going somehow since the last time I probably jumped the gun with an issue yesterday. Over the course of screwing around with it, I tossed at least two stacks of limonite and about 3 and a half stacks of magnetite in (along with as much flux and charcoal as the thing would take). Tuyere is wrought iron, if that matters. I can't be sure about exactly how much magnetite I threw in (no more than what I said, however), but it was definitely 32 limonite (all at once, which was foolish since it seemed to destroy the excess ore)

 

If my math is right...[(2x16)+(3.5x16)]/4 is 22 ingots.

 

After all was said and done, I somehow had enough product to make an anvil, 28 ingots, two pickaxes, a propick, a hammer, a sword, and like a quarter of an unshaped pig iron. So, basically ~48 steel.

 

Is there some kind of give and take about how much steel the blast furnace produces, or does the 4 ore to one ingot thing not apply with steel? Do some ores (IE, magnetite as opposed to limonite) produce more pig iron? Or did I stumble on a dupe glitch?

 

In the process of...processing all the pig iron I was making, I noticed shift right clicking a solidified unshaped pig iron in the crafting square to get the ingot, removed the heat value from that ingot.

 

I don't know if that's intended, but when I chucked those room temperature pig iron ingots back in the crucible to remelt them, it seemed like it refilled more than it should.

I don't know if that's where the weirdness is coming from, or if the crucible fill bar just isn't displaying correctly for me (disclaimer, I use optifine, although I don't think that would really effect that sort of thing?)

 

I tried to reproduce the thing with the cold pig iron ingots by emptying my crucible and throwing pig iron back in (using a forge underneath the blast furnace's crucible for the heat), but it seemed to be working fine (IE, throw an ingot in, it melts, get one ingot back).

The shift clicking of ingots out of the mold have been noticed and reported.

 

As for the blast furnace, I did not played enough to tell you if the output is good or not, but all ore should held the same amount of metal. I'll try to test it.

Correction above: shift clicking not shift right clicking. D'oh.

 

Wondering aloud, perhaps the problem stemmed from throwing shift-clicked pig iron back into the partially filled crucible for melting?

 

I feel really dirty for having all this steel :|

There is a bad dupe glitch with the crucible. It has been reported multiple times and even reported as fixed but it has yet to be fixed.
