Problematic implication for smithsonite from one recipe #1009

Closed WideMann closed 1 week ago

image This recipe makes balancing smithsonite bad.

image image Roasting and fluidized bed reacting smithsonite doesn't obey the rule of number of atoms = number of dusts need for one mole. As a result of this, Smithsonite becomes equally as good as coal in terms of getting Carbon (if you can recycle Carbon Dioxide). In addition to Oxygen, Zinc and other byproducts of Zincite Processing.

In my opinion, the solution is to remove smelting Smithsonite. Players can smelt Sphalerite for their needs.

FlBR recipe has lower EU cost + FlBR can over lock perfectly

also, nothing wrong with the smelting recipe, we do actually want to allow players to smelt zinc before getting a roaster

I mean, the addendum to the original rule is that ore dusts are given the molar convention of 1 dust = 1 mole, so that Zn isn't lost. Additionally, carbon dioxide is not very easy to break down into carbon, and other ores (even in GTCEu) would presumably have the same problem given the addendum. Finally, smithsonite is a useful way of getting zincite early-game, so I would rather not remove it.
