Crystal yield research
With the introduction of the amalgamation furnace it has become more important to know the yields of the different crystals.
The goal of this page is to find answers to these questions:
- How much metal does each kind of crystal produce when smelted pure?
- How efficient are the different smelters?
- How does impurities affect the result?
- Can crystals contain multiple metals?
- How is the type of metal produced determined?
- Do crystals from different mine levels have different attributes?
- Figure out how the "mixed" crystals work (TC+ for example)
Gada: It is already safe to say that crystals do contain multiple metals. Both Finndi and I produced 0 iron from 2TC-, but got 1 iron when mixing 2TC- with 2TB- (Finndi) or 2RM- (myself).
MecFiGerth: I put on some Craft Furnace results for iron, and a great difference can already be seen, so it might be a good idea to make different charts for different furnaces, at least for common metals, so we can examine the differences I'll come up with more pures tomorrow 'bout Craft Furnace iron yields.
Gada: I did the same test (10RM-) in a smelting pot and a Ra's furnace. Ra's furnace seems to have a slightly lower efficiency than smelting pot.
Xeros: Important side note, we need to establish a transfer ratio or ratio of effectivness between SP and CF to able to transfer the obtained results. The Thought with the Amalgamation Furnace is currently that it uses the CF yields for success calculation on smelts.
