More Complex Ore Processing Tree

Post by MatthewJMimnaugh »

TL;DR
More complexity to dealing with ore
What ?
Oil has a refinery, so why not ores? A Rock Crusher could create purer ore and stone, allowing for higher efficiency in smelting. Once the ore is melted down, why not a Casting Works, which is required to make the gears, poles, and all sorts of things. While we have belts, why not add a Crucible Conveyor (which has a time limit so the metal doesn’t cool) that transports molten metal to Casting Works to make components or ingots. Just a lot for little things to make ores more special.
Why ?
Just a bit of realism
How ?
Lots of new structures, a new conveyor system, and stuff like that.

Thoughts?

Yep, like https://mods.factorio.com/mod/DirtyMining
or https://mods.factorio.com/mod/vtk-deep-core-mining (slightly further from your suggestion)
Or Bobs + Angels. (Although that makes almost everything more complicated.
