As everyone knows,we can’t centrifuge ash to make carbon dust in the new version,but I found a new way to make carbon dust.
Step 1: coal dust + quartz dust ==mix== black quartz dust
Step 2: black quartz dust ==centrifuge== silicon dioxide dust + carbon dust
I don’t know does it accord with GregoriusT’s setting.If not,this is a bug,please fix it.
sulfuric acid more common than coal? Mhhh… You need coal to power the machines in order to produce carbon, and it takes a lot of time…
Anyway, he’s asking if this way is “cheaty”, not if that’s worth it xD
But Graphite can be found for that. You can just use Graphite to make Steel, since Graphite turns into Carbon when thrown into the Crucible. 25 Iron Ingots to Steel per Graphite Dust.
