⭐ New in v1.3: Fusion Forge

Fusion Forge

An advanced metal fusion workstation designed for late-game efficiency and consistency.

The Fusion Forge processes two material inputs + fuel, allowing metals to be fused for higher and more reliable yields than traditional smelting or Fortune-based mining.

Its true potential is unlocked by installing a Nether Star catalyst (permanent, non-consumable), which doubles all outputs and pushes resource efficiency beyond Fortune III averages without relying on RNG.

Core Mechanics

Requires 2 input slots + fuel to operate.
Optional Nether Star catalyst:
- Not consumed.
- Doubles all recipe outputs.
Designed to outperform Fortune III averages, not theoretical maximums.
Focused on late-game optimization, not early progression skips.

Example Fusion Recipes

Recipe Type	Inputs	Base Output	With Nether Star
Ore Fusion	Silk-touched ore + Copper Ingot	~Fortune II average	x2 output
Netherite Fusion	Ancient Debris Scrap + Gold Ingot	3 Netherite Nuggets	6 Nuggets
Alloy Fusion	Raw Iron + Coal	3 Iron Ingots	6 Iron Ingots

Outputs are balanced per material based on vanilla Fortune drop tables.
