Which Productive Metalworks config options matter?
4 parts
Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide
Productive Metalworks keeps its foundry settings in one file, config/productivemetalworks-common.toml. Exactly one value in it is marked as changed from the mod default by this pack, and it's the one you'll notice most when building a foundry.[1]
The value this pack changed
foundryMaxVolume is set to 200 in this pack, while the mod default is 1024. This caps the internal volume of the foundry multiblock, so your foundry can be much smaller than the mod normally allows. Plan your build around that limit.[1]
Size and capacity limits
These are the same as the mod defaults, so only the volume cap differs from a standard install.[1]
- foundryMaxCircumference is 200, the same as the mod default. It is the max circumference of the foundry multiblock.[1]
- foundryMaxHeight is 20, the same as the mod default. It is the max height of the foundry multiblock.[1]
- foundryFluidCapacityPerBlockVolume is 1,000 mb per block volume, the same as the mod default.[1]
Casting and fluid behavior
- foundryCoolingModifier is 4, the same as the mod default. The cooling time of a cast item is the number of mb used in the recipe divided by this number.[1]
- foundryTankTickRate is 21, the same as the mod default. It sets how many ticks pass between attempts at sharing fluid with tanks below the foundry.[1]
Foundry toggles
The on/off options are all set to true in this pack. An active foundry collects items dropped inside it (foundryCollectItems), damages entities inside it (foundryDamageEntities) and renders its inventory inside the multiblock (foundryRenderInventory).[1]
