Thermal Slag-O-Matic

Players who process Slag Rich Slag in a Thermal Expansion Pulverizer receive a chance at iron, copper, tin, lead, nickel, silver and gold nuggets, along with niter dust. The mod supplies these as recipes, so no new machine or block is added. The mod requires Thermal Expansion, which provides the Pulverizer that runs the recipes.

The chances are balanced so that even a full stack of slag in an upgraded Pulverizer yields only a modest number of nuggets. Top-tier augments increase the result, and basalz powder can be used for a larger return. The default chances are stored in a data file under data/thermal/recipes/machines/pulverizer, which can be opened in a jar editor and changed for a different balance.

The recipes are designed for automated setups, in the same way that other mods generate resource nuggets through Create. The mod is published for Forge on 1.20.1 only. The server must run it, while a player's client may leave it out and the mod still works for everyone else. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
