💬 SturgeonFish, Mar 28th at 3:43 PM

@Tels Sure I can clarify. I like to use a mod that enables pulverizing ore into nuggets as it saves a lot of tedium with manually smashing it all with a hammer. EM is overriding this and is causing the pulverizer to output crushed metals, which sometimes aren't smelting properly and also don't stack as high. I would appreciate if there was some sort of option to have the EM pulverizer recipes work with just the corresponding nugget instead of the raw ores to prevent this conflict and ensure that players are only getting the crushed/powdered metals exactly when they mean to.

💬 TelsAuthor, Mar 27th at 9:25 PM

SturgeonFish I'm not completely understanding the question, maybe its a terminology mixup?

In EM, you can crush ores with the pulverizer to "crushed X" and this can be milled with a quern into "powdered X".
If instead you use a hammer, like in vanilla, you get nuggets.

Initially, one could only make crushed ore, and then powder it for dyes, glass etc. Then people said "we have a lot of nuggets already, cant we crush these, too?" so I added nugget crushing. Then there was the question why not also allow ingot crushing. So you can crush ingots, too.

But then ppl said, you can crush nuggets and ore - we did all that and now have a bunch of crushed metals but can't smelt that. So I added smelting of some of the crushed metals back into ingots.

Apart form making sure that none of these many crafting ways yield you more metal than you started with, I feel there are already way to many different things you can do to get the same result.

So what exactly do you miss? The example you posted ("have it go ore > nugget > powder") is a bit confusing to me, as you can already get nuggets out of ore with a hammer, and then you can crush and quern these nuggets. Are you suggesting that nuggets instead should be querned to powders directly?

Maybe it would be easier to discuss this on discord.

💬 TelsAuthor, Mar 27th at 9:18 PM

GON EM does contain the ash but not actually recipes to burn things to ash - this is added by other mods like Bricklayers. I do have plans to extent the things you can burn and possible even move that to its own mod. But I wont have time before mid april to work on this. Sorry.

💬 GON, Mar 26th at 3:47 PM

Any chance we could have the ability to cook/burn tule and reeds for plant ash?

💬 SturgeonFish, Mar 25th at 8:48 AM

Would it be at all possible to tweak the recipies for pulverived metals to only work with corresponfing nuggets instead of ores? Or at least have a config option for it?

To clarify I mean instead of pulverizing ore directly to metal powder, Have it go ore > nugget > powder. I'm having some issues with smelting certain powders (nickel specifically but It's likely a conflict with other mods that I haven't isolated) and in my opinion having this recipe chain dodges a lot of possible conflicts.

💬 TelsAuthor, Mar 24th at 12:32 PM

IAmJade Sorry to hear that. The next version of Expanded Matter will have Ancient Tools compatibility.

💬 Jade1, Mar 23rd at 11:23 PM

I am on a server with Expanded Matter and Ancient Tools installed. I am trying to make an "empty pitch pot" in order to make pitch.

However, I am not able to. I need powdered charcoal. When I put powdered charcoal in my inventory it becomes "Expanded Matter: powdered coal."
So, I'm not able to make the "empty pitch pot" from Ancient Tools.

I will report this on Ancient Tools, as well. 

💬 CKitt, Mar 5th at 4:34 PM

I suspected that it was down to the changed handling of resin by ACA/EF.

Thanks for confirming that it does in fact work with the latest version of EM! I really appreciate it, narrowing down what causes a problem can be a pain.

💬 TelsAuthor, Mar 5th at 1:56 PM

CKitt This is very strange, I've tested cooking glue with EM and BL successfully. Have not yet tested ACA + EF, tho.

💬 CKitt, Mar 4th at 5:26 PM

I cannot currently cook the pitch glue to repair clutter blocks in ruins, although I have EM 2.5.1 installed. I suspect it may be due to Expanded Food/A Culinary Artillery and how that changes handling of resin, but I don't know for sure.

Has anyone successfully made pitch glue with EM 2.5.1?

💬 Liznerd, Feb 25th at 1:47 AM

I've been using VPN to access some of the sites blocked in Russia, and forgot to disable it while downloading this mod. After I disabled and installed it though, it wwiped my hard drive. WTF? 

💬 Kara, Jan 26th at 1:00 PM

if i recall, it was this mod that showed pigments when you would type pigment in the creative inventory.. i personally in 1.19.2 am not experiancing this. 
(although i could be wrong and thinking of another mod xD)

💬 TelsAuthor, Nov 19th 2023 at 7:53 PM

MikhaelPerrin Have a look into server-main.txt, and it should tell you what mod you are missing. Alternatively, if you use the 1.19.0-pre.7 version, it might also tell you what mod you might missing or which was not loaded if you click the Mods screen. Hope this helps.

ALSO, make sure you are on 1.19, because the 2.5.0 versions ONLY work on 1.19 (it says so right above :)

💬 MikhaelPerrin, Nov 4th 2023 at 1:13 PM

Guys, since the 2.5.0 pre update, I'm getting this message: "Unable to resolve some mod dependencies. Check log files."
I tryed to check the log files but I'm stuck since I don't know what to look for and how to correct it. Does anyone know what should I do?

PS: I have also updated bricklayers to 2.5.0 pre and I'm getting the same message on that mod too.

💬 Rapidash, Oct 1st 2023 at 10:33 PM

Tels :D I use the new one. mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/4208

💬 TelsAuthor, Sep 30th 2023 at 9:33 AM

Rapidash Thank you for that info, this is good to know! Eventually my hope would be that Useful Stuff can just use EM and the duplicate items can be avoided. Just one question: Which version do you use, the new one (https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/4208) or this one: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/25 ?

💬 Rapidash, Sep 30th 2023 at 5:17 AM

Tels Thankyou for your response. I do have the latest installed. This prompted me to look to other mods being the culprit and i found and solved my issue. I use Useful Stuff, it has the option to crush stones into sand and this is what was causing conflict. I turned off this feature and am now able to craft the crushed granite as needed. Posting incase others have a similar issue.

💬 TelsAuthor, Sep 29th 2023 at 7:56 PM

Rapidash Yes, this mod typically includes the crafting recipes and setups so you can create them. In case of your granite, please check that you also upgraded Bricklayers to v.2.4.0 - there was a change to granite and the new BL version is needed to activate that. After upgrading, the world needs a remap and a server restart (or game restart if you are on single player). If after the remapping you still have old crushed/powdered granite somewhere (it will say "deprecated") then just put these into your crafting grid to convert them to the usable form. Sorry for the inconvience!

💬 Rapidash, Sep 29th 2023 at 1:00 PM

Tels Hi, does this include the ability to craft them? I am unable to grind or create crushed granite to make powdered for porcelain.

💬 DUCATISLO, Sep 26th 2023 at 3:27 PM

slava cocaini!

💬 TelsAuthor, Sep 26th 2023 at 1:08 PM

RogueRaiden Unfortunate timing: powdered things in EM got broken due to a VS change, and the Bricklayer's release that was supposed to fix some things got delayed a bit. It will be sorted out soon.

💬 RogueRaiden, Sep 25th 2023 at 7:50 PM

looks like old powdered granite and old crushed granite are still used in trader trades and other recipes while the new versions cannot be used.

💬 TelsAuthor, Sep 20th 2023 at 6:41 PM

Alatyr Crushed ores are 64 so powdering them gives you 1 full stack (128 powders). If I make them 128, too, this would overflow chests and I don't like this. Sorry about the bloomery, I would love to change the ratios, but they are hard-coded in vanilla engine with regards to the fuel amount :-(

💬 Alatyr, Sep 3rd 2023 at 6:00 PM

Tels Crushed ore can now be placed in Bloomery. But since the stack of crushed ore is only 64, and not 128, it doesn’t fit much. The stack of crushed ore should be increased to 128.

💬 TelsAuthor, Aug 8th 2023 at 8:24 PM

Alatyr You are right, when I added the ability to smelt some crushed ores for convience, I missed the iron ores and malachite. Will add these in the next release. Thank you for the report!

💬 Alatyr, Jul 27th 2023 at 12:26 PM

Tels Crushed ores cannot be smelted. This is a catastrophe! I am talking about such ores as malachite, magnetite and some others.

💬 ElectroNikkel, Jun 24th 2023 at 5:53 AM

Oh my... Making Not Enough Sand compatible with this will be... Quite the work

💬 Ziver, Jun 18th 2023 at 7:03 PM

I'm having a bug. Crushed sphalerite won't go into a crucible. Other crushed ores like copper do work, though.

Edit: Just noticed the updated files on June 4th. Going to try them

💬 Finassar, Jun 4th 2023 at 4:10 AM

Jack7D1

why would it? this is a library for other mods, youy'll need it if you use them

💬 Jack7D1, Jun 3rd 2023 at 5:30 PM

is this mod gonna wipe my hard drive lmao

💬 TelsAuthor, Apr 28th 2023 at 5:14 PM

Craluminum Crushed/powdered electrum and graphite are now in Expanded Matter 2.1.0.

💬 TelsAuthor, Apr 26th 2023 at 10:36 AM

Craluminum No. It can be added in the next release if a mod needs it.

💬 DanaCraluminum, Apr 26th 2023 at 7:53 AM

Is there crushed electrum?

💬 TelsAuthor, Mar 12th 2023 at 2:53 PM

Craluminum Thanx, I've done so now!

💬 DanaCraluminum, Mar 12th 2023 at 2:08 PM

Add library tag if it is library
