GG's General Chemistry

<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 24pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">Gthane and Glizzy's General Chemistry mod!</span></span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Are you tired of leaving your base to go into dark, dank, and dusty caves for a crumb of saltpeter?

Well! Look no further, as GGGC is for you! With simple-ish crafting steps to boot!</span>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For version 1.19.8</span></span>

Release v0.2.0 Oct, 2nd, 2024
New stuff! Changelog has all the details, but I will explain them here too!

---

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">More Things&trade; have been added! Here is a list of all current features.
</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Gypsum: Calcium sulfate crystal found in limestone, chalk, and white marble (not pink or green (for no reason)).</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Sulfate: Sulfates come in all shapes and sizes. For now you can free them from their gypsum prison.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Gypsum-Sand Mix: This mixture will prevent the sulfates from reaching freedom, allowing you to collect more!
</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Soaked Firewood: It's soaked with saltwater. The water goes into the wood, and the salt crystals can be scrapped off the outside.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The texture for the soaked firewood is base game firewood, I'm having issues changing it and will look into it soon.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Nitrated Soil: Rot shoved into dirt. The higher fertility the dirt, the less rot needed to nitrate it.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Nitrate: Nitrates extracted from the nitrated soil, used in saltpeter production!</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wood Ash: Burn logs and grass in a firepit to get wood ash, use the wood ash as a source of potassium for your saltpeter.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">(If you use EM and Valley of Ashes, let me know if this breaks. I need to make compatability, but no time and I wanted to get this out)</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">All of these are open to balancing suggestions. I'm still playing with them and feeling out the barrel times, crafting ratios, etc. I don't want the crafting to be "hard" to do, but be purposeful and "feel" right. That's why sulfate has a "bad" and a "good" recipe. You can do either, but refining and purification are bread and butter chemistry. Next lab we will be doing titrations, I hope you all finished your pre-lab. 😁</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is our first attempt at modding, and we hope to push this concept a little further moving forward.

The recipies are as vanilla friendly as we could get without adding extra steps or adding libraries, for now. </span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Nitrate can be used as a fertilizer, the %N was determined from the Rot -&gt; Compost process. We determined the composting process is "more efficient" than ours, but the loss of %N in nitrate for equal parts rot is only 4% currently. It should probably be less efficient.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Future plans(kinda in order):</span></span>

• <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Sulfur extraction</span></span>
• <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Salt extraction (been done before but will still add)</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Kinda done may revisit
  </span>
• <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Wood Ash</span>/Potash and Lime extractions</span>
• <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Multiple sources for nitrates and sulfates new</span>
• <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Add ChemistryLib and Lavoisier (maybe separate mod)
  </span>
• <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Make the player do <span style="text-decoration: underline;">actual</span> chemical reactions to isolate desired compounds.</span>
• <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Ore leeching</span>
• <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lower yields to align with reality</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This mod may help people who use Maltiez's Firearms and Lastelle's Rusty Shell. Both are very fun, try them out!</span>

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">If you know why my modded liquids (not included in the download) don't work, comment,&nbsp; please I beg of you.</span> Curse block classes
