Alternative methods of generating/creating flux
unexceptable opened this issue ยท 2 comments
An ongoing problem with this mod is that flux is generated by throwing it into fire/lava. This causes a lot of bugs with certain other mods, and often ends up disabled. Although even when disabled, the item description still mentions the fire/lava method, which is confusing.
That isn't so bad considering that you can enable it as a drop from redstone, although the default drop rate is awful compared to how much you can make by using the fire/lava method. The real issue is that quarries and the like don't actually correctly pick up flux when it drops from redstone ore.
This means that with endgame automation, you can't actually get flux. You have to silk touch the ore with a quarry, and then place/mine the ore by hand to get any flux.
I've actually started looking at seeing how I could automate the placing/mining of the blocks, but even that doesn't seem to trigger a drop at least with the methods I've tried. It has to be a player.
What I propose is an alternative recipe or flux creation method that works better with automation, and integration with other mods, because right now, it's a pain, as much as this mod is useful.
