Goals

Ultimately I would like to have consistency across mods, such that all metals have the following forms:

• nugget
• ingot
• block
• dust
• plate
• gear
• rod
• wire

Additionally, I would like all of these forms to be valuable in some way; for each to be involved in at least one recipe.

Some will only become valuable once I begin adding end-of-game (or, really, after-game) content, such as thermal machines, and begin to exercise finer-tuned control over RFTools.

Some of it can already be integrated, but has not yet been: For instance, ensuring the crusher can make dusts/grit of all varieties from ore and ingots (for ore duplication),

Some has already been integrated, such as using lead and silver wires and plates as a component of ancient Pokeballs, or in how electrum gears are now part of astral sorcery structures.

Present State

At Least some forms are not available for:

• Tinkers Archery Metals
• Botania Metals
• Most Wires
• Some Dust Melting Recipes for dusts already in the game (ie lead dust)

There is very little integration between these components. Recently I have....

• Added Metal Press recipes through CraftTweaker
• Added Resources (Graphics) for all parts already in the game (this is a tedious process and slows down the adding other components)
• Added Earth Charge recipes for ingots to dust.

Some things I might add in the near future

• Immersive Engineering Crusher integration
• Ore duplication through using Earth Charge recipes on ore (Earth Charges presently serve no real purpose aside from getting us cinnabar yet).
• Giving a purpose to different Rods as the handles for high level tools.

I have added gears/rods/dusts/plates for Tinkers archery metals, starmetal, and to ensure thermal and immersive engineering all have what eachother have.

Botania still doesn't have any of those materials, and also I haven't added wires..
