is there a way of adding a property similar to pollution to the base chunk? i.e a 1 dimensional value that can change continuously and be spread to other chunks

You'll just have to create your own table of chunks and calculate the spread in lua yourself.
It's not like anything outside your lua code could react to that new value on its own anyway.

ok thanks. i thought that might be the only way to do it, but i was wondering if there was any easier ways

is there a way to make stone smeltable? i have a recipe that uses stone, but when i put stone in the furnace, it says: "stone can't be smelted"

Is recipe in one of the crafting categories allowed for smelters? Is it unlocked?
I believe there's stone brick smelting recipe already.
Also, shouldn't this question be in it's own thread?
