Features
This mod adds a "Smeltery" task for maids, enabling them to autonomously manage the full TiC smeltery/foundry workflow:
- Auto Pathfinding — BFS search for nearby smelteries/foundries with position caching
- Fuel Management — Detects low fuel and refills using fluid containers from inventory (compatible with all mod
implementing Forge fluid capability) - Ore Insertion — Inserts allowlisted items into the smeltery for melting, automatically skipping items that require
higher temperature - Fluid Pouring — After melting, automatically activates faucets to pour fluid into casting tables/basins; supports
ingot casts, gem casts, nugget casts, and basins with priority-based target selection; checks for valid casting
recipes before pouring - Item Collection — Collects finished items from casting tables/basins after cooling
- Alloy Avoidance — Checks alloy recipes before inserting ores, only inserts when the new fluid won't form a new
alloy with existing fluids (smeltery only, not foundry) - Fluid Sorting — Automatically moves the largest fluid volume to the bottom before pouring, ensuring priority
export - Fuel Protection — Won't insert ores when fuel is completely depleted, preventing items from getting stuck
- Non-Meltable Extraction — Automatically extracts items that can't be melted (no recipe or insufficient
temperature) from the smeltery - Auto Compacting — Auto-craft 9 nuggets into ingots, 9 ingots/gems into blocks (can be disabled)
- Inventory Sorting — Auto-sort inventory by
Blocks > Ingots > Gems > Nuggets > Other(can be disabled) - Status Bubbles — Maids display chat bubbles based on current work state, including no fuel, no ores, no casts,
inventory full, etc.
