HI, I'm having a problem smelting things in TDT and want to know if anyone has had this problem in stated modpack, or any modpack.

I'm 100% sure I've set this up correctly, and have been using the smelter since ftb unleashed.

The problem started upon building my sky base. I put ingots, dust, or any smelring object in the smeltary, but the time bar goes all the way to almost finished then never finishes.

Before objects completely quit smelting, it would pour liquid into a cast, but when I'd go to grab it, it would dissappear then start pouring again. It would take around 3 minutes for one object to be completely ready to grab from the casting table.

I made a smeltary in an area far away from my base and it worked normally. Could my base or an object within it be bugging my smeltary?

Sounds like the smeltery thinks there is no room for the molten metal. In that case the progress bar will completely fill and stay that way.
Do you by any chance have any sort of invisible blocks above(and inside possibly) the smeltery? Like large area lights like Wrathlamps/Arcane lamps?

No none of the above.

I did tests yesterday. It seems at the first part of testing it would take 2:20 seconds to smelt 1 iron. I tried this on the first floor of the building I had the smeltary in, (previously was on the roof) underground below the same chunk, and in a random area far from my base.

All areas took around 2:20. Then I noticed the random area far from the base stopped making liquid on the second try, and the stopwatch ran to 5:00 so I figured it was simply the server and not my base.Or maybe even my character which would be odd.

I also noticed if I make an iron furnace touch the smeltary, it takes the furnace forever to cook 1 iron dust. If you move the furnace 1 block away from the smeltary, it works like it should.

It's probably an issue with the servers tps, and later I will try on creative to see if it's in fact the server or modpack.

Yeah, that sounds like an issue with TPS in one chunk. Something in that chunk is eating up all the TPS. Opis should be able to help find it.

Which after the tests I did showed that the smeltary (no matter where I put it) is eating the tps alive. Its also not eating the tps within whole chuck, but rather the blocks the smeltary touches.

Now it's just whether it's the smeltary, modpack, or both combined.
