Alchemical Refinement
the mod lets you follow the Alchemical Process to refine ore.
Still a Work In Progress mod.
as of now there is only a panning mechanic and i will try as far as i can to make use of vanilla mechanics for this mod.
I will at some point make another mod that expands on this with C# code but for now this will be the base mod for it.
The process:
the ore nuggets can be grinded in a Grind stone(Quern) to create the powdered ore,
then Calcinatet/Roasted in a firepit,
then it can be combined in to a block in a grid,
and washed with the Ore Washing Pan,
and then the washed block can be broken in to the washed powder,
and smelted in a crucible.
mid gameish:
when you have a pulverizer you will be able to use that to crush the ore chunks into nuggets.
this is based on the tier of the material so the punding caps needs to match the tier,
of the material that are going to be crushed in to nuggets.
NB!
as of now the mod is not Balanced and it might give you a little much for that little effort it takes.
i will rebalance it at some point but i would like some input on that so feel free to comment or create a issue on github for that if you think it gives to much.
i try to not make it ore double but give you extra ore types based on real world geological occurance of minerals and asosiated minerals.
but as of now it will give you around 1.5 increase in yield from the base ore item, and some extra ore assosiated with the base ore.
the mod also kind of depends on:

Glifider It works for me and I dont have Geology Additions
Does it work without geology additions?
Maybe the balance could come from the purification process? I'm not by any means a source on alchemy or zoroastrianism, but I have passing familiarity with chemistry. For instance, using amalgams and acids to create a more manageable solution to purifying an element. I saw a video a while back where a guy tried to isolate platinum from road sweepings using a battery of chemical processes. IIRC he barely broke even on the endeavor with the estimated value of the platinum he managed to collect, and he already owned/had access to a bunch of the required equipment.
the point is to purify it but there will be at some point, but the nuggets have impurities in it that is kind of liberated and some of the ore is possible to get a higher yield do to it not making reactions with other compounds in that impure ore making it yield less, like pyrite and stuff like that will make gold or silver..etc not able to be combine with it self and be stuck in a pyrite crystal as an example.
Is the alchemical product technically still an ore? Ore is the source material with natural impurities. Are there natural impurities brought back into the mix somehow?
