I am not certain on that as my personal pack of "Reika's mods + random things I want to include" doesn't have Railcraft this go round.
This change probably didn't get noted in-book because it was part of the v24 pile of stuff and the book is still catching up on that stuff (e.g. Magnetostatic tiering, etc.). I usually pay a daily visit to Reika's changelogs here, which is where I got that from in the first place, but that's also because for my SSP run I'm staying on the bleeding edge with those mods.
No its fine to go through roc's tech tree... Just that there is a mechanical way to convert from BC to RoC to IC2 or anything like that.[DOUBLEPOST=1406907068][/DOUBLEPOST]
Now that, I had no idea... Wished that was in the book. very cool to know though. does that RoC Coal Coke equate to railcraft coal coke?
Code:
<blastfurnace>

The blast furnace is the main way to make steel.
Simply supply carbon (in the form of coal or coke) at the left, gunpowder at the bottom-left, sand in the top-right, and fill any or all of the middle nine slots with iron ingots.
Heat the machine to %dC to start the alloying process. The machine will operate more efficiently with coke and with more slots full of iron.
The coal is not fuel - an external heat source is required. This machine is also used to make bedrock ingots.
To make that, put 4 bedrock dust in the left, one steel ingot in the top-left of the grid, and heat the machine to 1000C.

Steel Requirements: Coal/coke in left slot, gunpowder in bottom-left, sand in top-left, iron in middle slots
Bonuses: Chance increases as the number of filled slots rises, max 50 percent
Max bonus size: Increases as the number of filled slots rises, max 100 percent
XP per steel ingot: %.2f
