I support wojtek16's suggestion regarding the pulverizer. It would give the player another incentive to get wind power and a pulverizer up and running for faster ore processing, in addition to the current system for steelmaking. I have also been advocating the usage of mechanical power for the author of the mod "in dappled groves", for sawing planks and splitting wood using bigger contraptions (Wind/water powered sawmills and log splitters), which would go along fine with something like this.

Believe there's also historical precedents for ore processing with pulverizers like this, but unsure whether IRL crushers have used windpower tho. Might have been from waterwheels. Not sure.

Geology Additions new ores dont work for this. Also a dupe when I throw ore at my feet and swing the hammer just before I pick it back up, I get the nuggets and the ore. This wouldn't come up for those who have "only collect items when sneaking" turned on.

Snowfall94 Yup is to prevent it triggering the "smash" action more than one time for a single ore chunk, this prevents a duping bug.

Ah so there's a cooldown, makes sense. I was trying to smash like 64~ of em but it kept taking a second before I could smash the next one. Honestly thought I was just buggin out

Snowfall94 You should have seen in the testing when I didn't put the proper cooldown, you could hold the left mouse and slammed a single chunk into thousands of bits hahaha. fun times 🤣

Thauma Sure I'll look into that!

wojtek16 No I don't think that's a thing in game it would be pretty cool, I'll look into it

@SaltyWater So what I was thinking was if you can send ores through the pulberizer and if it would crush the oes and give bits. Idk if that is a feature already in the game, but last time I played through it wasn't. lmk if that makes sense, feel like this would be so cool! Love this mod :)

Thought I downloaded this yesterday, was wondering why it wasn't working. So I downloaded it today and I immediately slammed the hammer down on a stack of 29 ore clusters and it froze my pc for a minute. So while it works perfectly fine, you probably shouldn't do big clusters all at once lol

Lovin the boost to immersion and getting a little bit extra out of it

Could it be possible to set up an item blacklist to prevent modded hammers that aren't intended to crush ores from crushing ores on the ground?

umm No it will only work with dropped ore items.

Will this work if you shift + right-click place ores instead of dropping them?

Snowfall94 yep I was thinking that too. And as DanaCraluminum mentioned it is going to be the case.

wojtek16 What do you have in mind?

Do you think you might make this work with puverizer? I feel like that would be cool too! :D

Don't remove grid recipes, I use them for the same thing in my mod

Looks like a nice immersive addition to the list

But imo you should keep the crafting recipes active just in case another mod messes with them. I think that'd help with compatibility (not a modder, so might be 100% wrong)

Jena_Thornwyrd Hell yeah Thanks!! IMMERSION FTW!!

This is brilliant !!! Plus having a better yield is a nice insentive ! IMMERSION FTW !
