This is true. I'd love to use conveyor belts for the whole thing, but they're just not practical. They LOOK cool though.
What was your final steel solution in the end?

TE Induction smelter. 1 Iron + 4 Coal dust or 1 Iron + 1 Coal coke makes 1 steel. It's the fastest way.

Yep. And my coke furnace still has some use for producing creosote and those coal cokes. I might consider changing to a redstone furnace with the pyrolytic conversion for the coal coke though. A lot more expensive but also a lot faster too.
Then you could swap the coke oven over to charcoal to boost power, and continue to produce creosote.
Damn, ideas abound! I'm still pretty fixated on Regrowth right now, but I know what I'll be doing when I go back to 1.10+ packs...
I'm working on an interesting idea combining ActuallyAdditions oil made from canolas and processed in the barrels with a Fractionating Still from TE that turns it straight into Refined Fuel, into Compression Dynamos with Ignition Plugs. I'm trying to determine maximum throughput of the still and if the AA thing can keep up with it, and how many Compression Dynamos it can support.
Upon testing, no it does not. However, a Cloche + Canola Press + 3x fermenting barrels = better power supply than basic tree oil setup.
