One-liner: Machine similar to thermal centrifuge but does compression and smelting the same time for advanced materials.

More-than-one-liner:
Title: High T/P Compressor (or smelter) (T/P stands for temperature and pressure)
Idea: Like we are really doing smelting!
Mechanics:
- Has a temperature meter - Needs EU to increase; other materials to boost the increment; increases faster with higher pressure with same EU consumption; Reset to 0 when no EU is supplied...
- Has a pressure meter - Needs compress air cell to increase, holds pressure when no compress air cell present.
- Has a additional materials slot - to make advanced materials more costly... if their recipes are simply compressing already existing materials or similar... that is called "redundant" and "boring"...
- Has a input slot - put your iron plate and etc. here...
- Has a output slot - spit out advanced materials here...
*** Sample Recipe ***
- Advanced Alloy: Takes 1 Mixed Metal Ingot, consumes X0 units of pressure, minimum of Y0 temperature, takes 1 iron dust as addition, takes Z0 ticks to complete.
- Dense Copper Plate: Takes 1 Copper plate, consumes X1 units of pressure, minimum of Y1 temperature, takes 1 copper dust as addition, takes Z1 ticks to complete.
- Coal: Takes 64 wood, consumes X2 units of pressure, minmum of Y2 temperature, takes 2 sulfur dust as addition, takes Z2 ticks to complete...
Yes! Coal, can we please, make coal? Even at this much high cost?? notice it also cost sulfur...
etc.
Also, creates diamonds here!..
Compress 64 coals into a diamond with maximum temperature and pressure + 1 obsidian addition.
*** something else ***
Possible features:
- Place an compressor next to it (with ejector upgrade) can supply air automatically.
Negative Side:
- Not sure whether recipe can be displayed with two inputs..
- Too complicated? (But everything is already complicated..)
- There may not be sufficient advanced materials that makes High T/P smelter significant...
*** something other than else ***
If anyone have comment...
whether this idea sucks, or you want to add more..
or you want to balance out something. Please feel free to do so =D
And sorry for no pictures.. It is midnight atm, I need to sleep...
