Finally fix the fuel bug

[Granger]

Being able to relight a smelter with one piece of quality coal boils down to the best quality of coal you got from mining won't ever run out as the bulk you need can be made in q10 tar kilns. Removing that bug should slow down runaway metal quality.

[Dakkan]

Agreed.

[LadyGoo]

+1. Just make sure there is not another bug with it + monitor the qualities. Otherwise, you'll get one of the factions making the top tier tools before others.

if i'm not mistaken, this seems to have been addressed. we are not getting the quality of metals that would be expected when we use the 11 + 1 method of smelting. it always comes out lower

This would be a new development, I don't think they have fixed it mid-world without announcing it.

I can confirm it still works with anything that can stop in the middle of a burn (kilns, etc...) so no, not fixed.

And I agree that fixing this would definitely be good (and healthy) for the game, and would make the Miner's credo even more useful.

I was recently informed that it is fill 11 @ low Q and let it burn out. add 1 @ high Q and let it finish the smelt.

That is the bug he is talking about.

[Morrighan]

Save it for a world reset so everyone is on even footing. Fixing this bug now now just makes it harder on small groups and hermits.

[LadyGoo]

Actually, why not to embrace it? Make it so that the highest coal in the smelter would count in. The factions will find a way to overproduce top-q coal, while the smaller guys would be at an even bigger disadvantage than before.
