Thermite-Welded Plate
Adds the alternate Reinforced Plate recipe 'Thermite-Welded Plate' to the game.
Description
Adds an alternate recipe for Reinforced Iron Plate called 'Thermite-Welded Plate' to the game. The recipe uses Aluminum Powder (introduced by the <a href="https://ficsit.app/mod/AluminumPowder">Aluminum Powder mod</a>) to fuse Iron Plates into reinforced iron plates.
<h4>Why?</h4>
All of the basic iron parts (e.g. Iron Plates and Iron Rods) have late-game recipes for using more advanced materials to produce them in bulk, faster and more resource-efficiently.</br>
</br>
Reinforced plates... kind of lack this, despite being a rather basic early-game part. Even their more advanced recipes are irritatingly slow, making it difficult to produce them in bulk compared to other very basic parts.</br>
</br>
The Thermite-Welded Plate recipe is here as a true late-game recipe to fix that. It is not much (if at all) of a resource efficiency improvement over the most efficient vanilla recipe (Adhered Plate), since that recipe already seems about as good as the resource usage should get. But it is a massive improvement in production rate. (20 Reinforced Plates per minute at 100% machine rate.) Only Stitched Plate comes close (at 15/min), but is a horrifically resource-hungry recipe.</br>

Frequently Asked Questions
Thermite-Welded Plate not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Thermite-Welded Plate has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Thermite-Welded Plate causing crashes in multiplayer – solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Thermite-Welded Plate v1.0.1 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Thermite-Welded Plate compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Thermite-Welded Plate uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
