Bronze in IC2 Experimental

Caracal · Sep 15th 2013

Hello all!

I was playing the new IC2 Experimental fork, when I noticed that bronze is currently unobtainable without an ore washing plant (you need the metal dust to craft it).

Is there a plan to change this going forward, or is Bronze going to become a "Tier 2" material? Bronze tools used to be extremely handy in the earlygame while iron was still scarce, but this is no longer the case. Obviously you need it to craft wrenches... and going so long without a wrench is a bit of a gameplay hazard.

I completely understand that IC2 Experimental is exactly that... just looking for some info, that's all.

You can smelt the crushed ore into ingots, then macerate the ingots into dust to make bronze.

That is the intended Way. I askes Player long time ago because of that, and he said, that this little bit of extra work is good.

I cannot believe I didn't think of that - and I've been playing IC since before the ^2. Shameful.

Thanks!
