Crafting

In early versions of Randores, it was impossible to craft items with the normal crafting table, or smelt items with the normal furnace. I was able to get recipes working in the normal crafting table, but, unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will be possible to use normal furnace recipes. To get around this issue, Randores adds the craftinium item. Craftinium is an ore that generates fairly commonly in the overworld, and shouldn't be too difficult to find. Each ore drops exactly 8 craftinium lumps, which can be used to craft either the Craftinium Table or the Craftinium Forge.

Craftinium Table

The craftinium table only exists for legacy reasons. I don't want to remove it because it's color scheme matches the Forge, but it is completely unnecessary. It is an exact copy of the crafting table, except for the fact that it doesn't have a recipe book, making it not only useless, but less useful than an item that already exists. Only use it if you want a yellow table that's worse than the normal one. It can be crafted by making a 2x2 square of craftinium, just like the normal crafting table.

Craftinium Forge

The craftinium forge, on the other hand, is the only way to smelt Randores ores. You must use the forge because [blah blah blah, code reasons, blah blah]. The forge acts as a normal furnace, and can also smelt anything the normal furnace could smelt. It can be crafted by making a 3x3 square of craftinium, with an empty slot in the middle, just like the normal furnace. Additionally, the forge can be upgraded. It starts at speed 1, and can be increased up to speed 200. The speed is basically a "divisor" on the time it takes to smelt an item. The formula for the number of ticks the forge takes to smelt any item is floor(200/speed). This means that at speed 200, the forge smelts 1 item per tick, or 20 items per second. To upgrade it, you can combine it with the following items:

• 8 craftinium; +1 speed
• 1 iron ingot; +1 speed
• 1 gold ingot; +2 speed
• 1 diamond; +3 speed
• 1 emerald; +4 speed
• 1 nether star; instantly max out speed
• Another forge; add the speeds of the two forges

Although some may disagree with the decision to allow the forge to be upgrade, here is my reasoning: mods these days are rarely used alone, most are used in mod packs. Furthermore, there are many mods that allow for extreme industrialization, with extremely fast furnaces powered by various things. Since Randores ores cannot be smelted in the normal furnace, these advanced furnaces won't be able to smelt them. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an extremely fast method of smelting Randores ores, so Randores can be integrated with industrial mods.
