Problem description

There is no compat liquid or tools for Compressed Ingots. There should not be a new recipe for creating the ingots as it is crafted from the pressure chamber. But it should have a liquid, tools, and molding recipes or whatever else should be required to make it compatible.

Suggested solution

To add a liquid, tools, and other craftables for Compressed Iron. There should not be a new way to make it other than having it turn into a liquid and molding it into a block or ingot or item.

Alternatives considered

For a compat mod to be made to allow for it to be made compatible.

Additional context

When I tested these mods together last time, there was no liquid or tools for compressed iron from the mod.

How is compressed iron different from regular iron? To me that sounds like a shape rather than a chemical change, so melting it would just give regular iron.

Ultimately when it comes to compatibility, the mod must meet one or more of the following requirements:

• It must be a mod I use personally. Most mods don't meet this requirement as I play pretty small packs.
• The compatibility must be doable with purely JSON. I don't want to add more compile time dependencies without good reason.
• The compatibility must reasonably fit both mod designs. This is the most important one, and is usually hard on mods I don't play so i leave to addons.

Overall, PneumaticCraft falls into the category of mods I don't play. I could see adding compatibility for melting if you can justify every modpack will want molten compressed iron to not just be molten iron. But tool materials are not on the radar; you will note I don't add tool materials for the Mekanism or Thermal fluids we support.

Then at the very least, it should turn to iron. Because currently when it or any other compressed iron item such as a block is put in the smeltery, nothing happens. Since Tinkers Construct does not add tool parts based on other mods materials, if I wanted to create an addon that has compressed iron tools, do I need a liquid in order to make them or is there another way to do it without using the wooden patterns since that does not make sense as it is very hard.

That said, your best bet is really something custom, compress iron tool parts in PneumaticCraft's metal compressor thingy to get the gameplay you want.

Sending that wiki really helped, I also don't know why I didn't consider putting the iron parts in the pressure chamber to compress them but I was able to figure out how to add the parts and recipes plus whatever else, thanks.
