[0.8.8/0.9.2] Can't make steel with steel furnace

Post by Malacodor »

I'm in New hope campaign level 2 and I can't make steel with steel furnaces, only with stone furnaces.

You obviously can't as when you want molten steel, you'd melt the oven itself :twisted:
Just kidding, does it work in freeplay? It could be a recipe issue, if it's just in the campaign there's probably a recipe(specifically steel in steel furnaces) not unlocked with the proper tech.

In any case, I would recommend playing with 0.9.2, which has just fixed the campaign missions, to see if it works.

The problem still exists in 0.9.2. However, it works fine in level 4.

What happens if you try to replay the 2nd level of New Hope campaign (starting it again from Main Menu and not loading a savegame)? Do you still can't make steel in steel furnaces?

I restarted it already, loading the the savegame from 0.8.8 crashes the game.

In 0.8.8 I had the same problem. I solved it by picking up the furnace and placing it down again and then it seemed to work.

Thanks for the report. The problem is that these were originally created with force neutral so unlocking recipes doesn't work for them. This is fixed for the 0.9.3. Also this issue doesn't happen anymore because by default the entities in the map editor are built with force player (force must be explicitly changed in the additional info gui).
