Smelter

This mod adds a new Smelter building and a few new recipes.

The Smelter is designed to smelt metals in the early game. Doesn't require electricity. Runs on Refined Carbon as fuel.

• Requires research Brute-Force Refinement
  
• Requires 200 kg of Metal Ore + 400 kg of Raw Mineral
  
• Requires Liquid Intake Pipe for Coolant
  
• Comsume Refined Carbon 1666.67 g/s
  
• Emits Carbon Dioxide 50 g/s
  
• Heat generation: 20 kDTU/s
  
• Base overheat temperature: 125C

The Smelter can smelt the same recipes as the Metal Refinery and Glass Forge. For balance reasons, Glass and Steel smelt times increased by 30%

The Smelter re-uses waste coolant until it reaches a high enough temperature. Further, two options are possible:

• In normal mode, duplicantes will empty overly hot coolant into bottles. Bottles can be used anywhere, for example for cooking food in a Microbe Musher or for research on a Super Computer.
  
• In overheat mode, the overheated coolant will evaporate directly into the atmosphere. Can be useful for producing Steam from any Water or Petroleum from Crude Oil.

You can switch between modes using the "Allow Overheating" checkbox.

• 70 kg Abyssalite + 20 kg Salt + 10 kg Phosphorus -> 70 kg Tungsten + 23.3 kg Igneous Rock + 6.7 kg Chlorine. This recipe is intended to find the use of almost useless Salt and Abyssalite. Available at Smelter and Metal Refinery.
  
• 100 kg Phosphorite -> 100 kg Phosphorus. Phosphorus is needed not only for Geotuner and feeding of higher Shine Bug mutants. It can be used to create a liquid Airlock (45 - 280C) or create natural Tiles (<45C). Available at Smelter and Glass Forge.
  
• 100 kg Plastic -> 100 kg Naphtha. Naphtha has many uses, including magma pumping tricks. Available at Smelter.
  
• 200 kg Resin -> 50 kg Isoresin + 150 kg Water.
  Just a recipe to boiling Resin for convenience. Available at Smelter only in DLC.

Please note that all gaseous products will be released into the atmosphere.

You can сonfigure this mod via the Main menu -> Mods -> Smelter -> Options
You can turn on or off any new recipes.
You can turn on or off some of the Smelter features for the vanilla Metal Refinery (off by default):

• Metal Refinery will re-use the waste Coolant. This can speed up production and reduce coolant consumption. Because usually the smelting of one ingot is faster than the required amount of coolant comes from the pipe. The waste coolant will go into the outlet pipe if it is not cold enough to smelt the next ingot.
  
• Metal Refinery will drop the overheated coolant directly into the atmosphere if overheating occurs. This will help prevent damage to the output Pipe.

In case of problems with this mod:
a) First of all, make sure that your game really uses the latest version of the mod.
Use the Mod Updater to force the game to update mods.
b) Then please open an issue on the GitHub[github.com] And remember to attach the game logs.
