So, the tooltip for solid fuel burning boxes (e.g. Dense Burning Box (Solid, Invar)
) includes a line that says Recipes: Furnace Fuels (1 Smelt = 5000 Units)
. If memory serves, you used to be able to look up these recipes in NEI by looking up the usage for any item with a burn time (e.g. Coal, Coke, Peat, etc), or looking up the recipe for something like ashes or dark ashes, then clicking through the arrows at the top of the window until you arrive at the appropriate screen.
This screen listed what type of burnable item (and how many of them) you’d have to burn, what type of ash item (and how many of them, if any) that burning them would produce, how many GU burning that fuel would produce, and how long it would burn at the listed power tier, similar to what the Fluidized Bed Fuels recipes screen displays now.
I can’t seem to find this screen in NEI after upgrading to the latest version of GregTech, but I can find Fluidized Bed Fuels
and Burnable Fuels
(for the liquid burning boxes). I thought at first Fluidized Bed Fuels might have replaced it, but looking at the changelog entry for GT 6.10.01 (when Fluidized Bed Burning Boxes were added), it mentions:
…Takes only specific Fuels like Charcoal/Coal/Coke/Peat and similar…
…this effort will result in triple the Fuel Value and half the Ashes…
So, that theory seems unlikely.
Was the Furnace Fuels NEI screen removed from GregTech, or is it supposed to be showing up but isn’t? Or am I just crazy and it never existed in the first place?
