Steel making

[Amanda44]

Ok, this question sounds pretty stupid, even to me, and i'm pretty certain the answer is 'yes' - But it's my first time making it and i don't want to mess it up. (56hrs! Seriously?)

That's not the question

Question: Is it ok to interfere with it during the 12hr periods by filling it up with fuel before the 12hrs are up?

you take its coal out, it resets immidiatelly.
you take the wrought out, it resets immidiatelly.
you dont fuel it before it runs out, it resets immidiatelly.


in short, dont do anything but keep it fueled or you piss of the metal gods and it resets lol.

didnt want to make another thread. so whats the fuel and coal thingy?
can we put q10 branches as fuel and it wont effect q? or we have to put high q coal on both coal slot or as a fuel?

[kralmir]

the softcap on the q is crucible q + coal put in q + average of fuel q /3

it wont raise the q of the wrought when it becomes stille but it can pull it down

[evilboy666]

does the fuel bug work for steel curicible too?

[kralmir]

no, the steel needs to be actually on for 56hours.

[evilboy666]

how many coal in it approximately?

[kralmir]

for coal its 1 coal for 1hour and 20mins. so 42 coal for the entire duration, plus a few more to make sure you dont run out just before it completes or something.
