Features
This mod adds a "Smeltery" task for maids, enabling them to autonomously manage the full TiC smeltery/foundry workflow:
- Status Bubbles — BFS search for nearby smelteries/foundries with position caching - Status Bubbles — Detects low fuel and refills using fluid containers from inventory (compatible with all mod implementing Forge fluid capability) - Status Bubbles — Inserts allowlisted items into the smeltery for melting, automatically skipping items that require higher temperature - Status Bubbles — After melting, automatically activates faucets to pour fluid into casting tables/basins; supports ingot casts, gem casts, nugget casts, and basins with priority-based target selection; checks for valid casting recipes before pouring - Status Bubbles — Collects finished items from casting tables/basins after cooling - Status Bubbles — Checks alloy recipes before inserting ores, only inserts when the new fluid won't form a new alloy with existing fluids (smeltery only, not foundry) - Status Bubbles — Automatically moves the largest fluid volume to the bottom before pouring, ensuring priority export - Status Bubbles — Won't insert ores when fuel is completely depleted, preventing items from getting stuck - Status Bubbles — Automatically extracts items that can't be melted (no recipe or insufficient temperature) from the smeltery - Status Bubbles — Auto-craft 9 nuggets into ingots, 9 ingots/gems into blocks (can be disabled) - Status Bubbles — Auto-sort inventory by `Blocks > Ingots > Gems > Nuggets > Other` (can be disabled) - Status Bubbles — Maids display chat bubbles based on current work state, including no fuel, no ores, no casts, inventory full, etc.
