Smelt Ore By Product

Description
Just a simple mod that adds a new category to the Smelter, "Smelt ores by product." This allows you task orders to smelt any ore of a given metal in a single order, instead of having to select the specific ores.

One caveat, smelting copper ores will no longer have a chance of producing a small amount of silver. Smelting silver and lead ores still produce silver bars as usual.

Non-Steam users can find it on DFFD as "[50.xx] Smelt Ore By Product"!

-- Installation --

Subscribe here on the Workshop, or unpack into the DF mods folder if you're using the DFFD version, then enable the mod when generating a new world!

-- Compatibility --

This should be compatible with any mod that doesn't significantly change the vanilla metal ores.

If the "Smelt ores by product" category isn't showing up in the smelter, make sure Smelt Ore By Product is lower in the load order than any mods that remove-and-replace the MOUNTAIN entity, or just move SOBP to the bottom of the load order.

It only adds the new reactions to the default dwarf civilization (MOUNTAIN), so you'll need to patch it for other civs.

Does this mod add the reactions in a way that everyone gets it, or do I need to manually patch it in if I play with a civilisation other than dwarves?

The only issue with adding a coke reaction is that (unlike ores) lignite and bituminous coal produce different amounts of coke when processed, which I can't really do in a single reaction. :/

Can you add a job for making Coke from lignite/Bitumite Coal?

When in doubt, put this one last. Some mods replace the dwarf entity entirely in order to make their changes, which will override SOBP unless SOBP comes after it.

this doesn't seem to be working in my game. Is there a particular order i should put it in when generating the world?

The issue is that there's three silver ores but only one gives silver, and there's no way to make one reaction that can take that into account. That said the original jobs to smelt tetrahedrite are still there to use in that case.

any way to fix the copper smelting behaviour? so it gives the silver.

It needs to come after any mod that might delete-and-replace the MOUNTAIN entity (ie. dwarves). When in doubt, load it last. :)

No idea why, but I think it isn't loading with my mod list. Is there an order you recommend?
