It gives the salt as a 100%, but that is a side benefit. You should be getting liquid metals in addition to that salt. There is a couple metals you can get from this process, but magnesium is common enough.on the same topic as this..
im trying to get some magnesium dust on FTB monster pack..
i've worked my way through roughly 25 stacks of limestone (melted in the Crucible furnace)
and mixed the quicklime with water, and gotten the unknown magnesiish dust..
but whenever i melt them in the crucible again, i have 100% chance of SALT..
its the ONLY thing i've gotten so far..
is it just me, or is there something i'm doing wrong??

Also, as a side note, don't use the limestone itself, even if you smelt it into smooth limestone(which gives a full bucket instead of 900 mB); make planning chalk with it(takes two limestone and a bit of bonemeal). It gives you 2,500 mB instead of the 2,000 mB from smooth limestone proper.
