Making Flour with wheat into the macerator

like better than wolves? i do think better food efficiency using machines would be good

Sounds like the mill from Better than wolves. 6x the bread is pretty overpowered though, don't you think? Maybe if the process was more complicated like adding water to make some dough first.

1x water bucket : 2x flour = 1x dough

Then bake it in the furnace to make some bread.

That would make the equation atleast a little more balanced.

Sounds like the mill from Runescape.

As a lover of wheat farms in sizes which drop 200+ wheat in one harvest, with no work other than flipping a lever whenever you are in the mood, I will say that wheat is slightly unbalanced as it is. I don't personally see any need for more bread than I can already make.

However, if it could make extra bread but also be used as a renewable alternative to an otherwise non-renewable component (body in construction foam, propellant in gunpowder, binder in TNT?) I'm all for it. Wood and seed fiber are used those applications all the time.

dont think this wil add much but,

grinding weat = 2 flour.
hydrating flour = 1 bucket of water serounded by 8 flour (similar to coal dust)
cooking bread = in an furnace. 1 dough yields 1 bread.

cant put in any more simple.
but 6 bread / weat? no.... that WAY to OP, make it 2 and im happy. not like i wil ever use it...

This sounds like a great way to make fodder for your recycler to make scrap out of.

Well, obviously more bread would be OP. But here in Industrialcraft we like to improve on the primitive life we are usually stuck with in Minecraft. So, instead of that sucky peasant-bread, why don't we have some sort of way to use those tasty wheats to make some high effectiveness super-bread? Perhaps 3 flour, 1 bucket of water,& 1 egg.

But why stop there, when we have so many item ID's to fill?
How about some sort of combined lunch, 1 super-bread, 1 apple, 1 steak/porkchop/fish/chicken, and 1 seeds (sprouts, bro) makes a delicious pack lunch that restores 6 food, and provides 5 hearts of healing instantly! Of course, this bad boy can't be canned, because his purpose is to provide you an extremely dense, high calorie meal that can be kept in mass quantities for super long exploratory voyages.

I mean, if you REALLY wanted to go all-out, you could make the crafting totally open-ended. I bet the pixel artists would be nuts for making a thousand different foods in 16x16 pixel art. (XD)

thats what the blacklist is for if an item becomes a problem it wont recycle and a cobble gen is still a better source of scrap
