I wouldnt want to field smelt for the reason that I mine in fel and a pack animal can hold 16k on ingots or 1600 ore. I rather lose the ore then all those ingots
I smelted 25 Valorite ore all at once and 1 pile at a time with 105 mining and the results are.
Single smelt 42 Inogts
Whole Pile 50 Ingots
I would like to help test also and help with any information you need
Also I thought I heard that if you mine or lumberjack in a dangerous areas the better chance to get higher leaves of wood or ore
Hi,
with my findings and the debug help from others with my OSA smelter
I can say I would never do uneven ore amounts.
Because you usually loose 50% if it is going wrong.....
and if you smelt uneven numbers you will end up loosing
stuff by "rounding" numbers 1,5 left over -> leads to 1 ore
even with my Lvl of 105 ..
I still do the two expensive Ore types in piles of 4.
but finally it is all about opinion and so I think KiD's approach
is the best way to do it.... provide a user config mode
so everyone can do it in his own style
