Config changes for Horizons 1.0.7

[DamagePlan]

After the latest update I noticed that TE3 no longer requires steel and the steel recipe was turned off.
I'd like to revert this change. I found the line in the TE3 config to require steel again but I can't find the config that enables the smelting of iron into steel. Does anyone know where this is?

 

[PierceSG]

I don't get you. Why would you want TE3 to use steel when you are going to enable the easy steel config? I mean, I understand some would like the steel recipes enabled and use other mods for their steel production, ie RailCraft or Mekanism, to make TE3's progression harder.

But by enabling the iron to steel in a furnace recipe, wouldn't that defeats the purpose of enabling steel requirement for TE3?

Sorry but no offense meant here, I just want to know why?

Well personally I like the increased difficulty of having steel needed for TE3 but I'm not the only one on my server. Also the only way I'm aware of getting steel in Horizons without going Iron > Steel is with the smeltery from TiC with 1:1 Manganese and Iron. There may be other ways but I stopped looking when I found Iron > Steel. The real draw here for steel is the TiC tools.

What other efficient ways are there to get steel in this back since RC and Mekanism aren't included? I don't like being reliant on manganese for my steel production. I know RotaryCraft HSLA steel isn't interchangable but RotaryCraft does have a steel purifier that will turn other mods' steel into HSLA but that doesn't help with TiC.

Ah, I see. Well, I will leave it to those who are more knowledgeable to assist you then.

If you're talking about Artiface's iron+coal recipe, if so just change this line to true in Artiface.cfg:

B:"Alternate Steel Recipe"=false

 

[DamagePlan]

Changing

Config\artiface.cfg to

B:"Alternate Steel Recipe"=false

and

Config\cofh\thermalexpansion

machineframe.usesteel=true

randomly gave me...

9:58:43 PM CONSOLE: [SEVERE] Encountered an unexpected exception RuntimeException
9:58:43 PM CONSOLE: character '/' in '/config/cofh/ThermalExpansion.cfg:1'

Ideas?

Just from a tester standpoint, what happens when both are false and both are true? What about when its set back to default? In which cases does it cause a crash? It may be that TE3 is looking for certain source of steel, and if it doesn't find it, it crashes?

... ooooor. Check the first line of your ThermalExpansion.cfg. Is there a rogue "/" there? If there is, try deleting it.

This... is probably correct.

No spare /, that's the first thing I checked. Could it be that I also need to change

B:"Steel Smelting"=false

in the artifice config?

Or is it possible that these config files have ^M (carriage returns) or something similar that isn't visible in windows? Something like when you open a file in vi after opening it notepad?

I don't have time to test further tonight I'll report on this when I do.

Does anybody find Manganese in a world generated in horizon 1.0.7?

Does anybody find Manganese in a world generated in horizon 1.0.7?

I know in RR its found near the gold/lapis levels

 

[DamagePlan]

I haven't found any since 1.0.7 Is anyone getting steel?

Actually, the config for Metalurgy 3 that ships with Horizons 1.0.7 has Manganese disabled in the worldgen. So as far as I can tell, every single steel recipie in 1.0.7 is either disabled, or a material needed for it is disabled. I turned back on the easy-mode resmelting of iron so I could get steel for TConstruct tools, but ideally the next version of Horizons will pick one of the more difficult recipes to re-enabled.
