Carbon Production Modding Question

[Hatsune_Neko]

i been looking at the corpse furnace to add production of carbon.
i would like to do it like the metal recycler so i could put organic material in it to produce carbon. and i want it to consume mass amounts to produce a small amount of carbon

but i am unsure of how to edit this to make it work. or if this even possible. i can see in the FCS that you add consume and produce, each with amounts.
but if i simply add in the values would that even work?

mostly doing it because i'm modding the steel refinery to require carbon to make steel bars. and i want a source of carbon.

in case you need reference to what i'm working on and to see the changes i am doing.

Unfortunately it does not work. The two functions will simply act independently of each other as I recall. It would accept bodies, and give nothing for it. And produce carbon at all times, with no cost.

i'm not aware of a way to tie the two functionalities together. So that it would require bodies for production.

well shoot.
okies.. wonder if there is another way then..

That would be likely if there would be some option to mod a simple mine to produce carbon "coal" and then the fuel production will be fine.

i been thinking of using building materials in a different machine
just been lazy in implementing it.

It's possible to set carbon up as a resource node like iron and copper. I've actually got a mod that does it, just looking for something to use as a model since I'm no modeler.

neither am i.
i'll find something to make it so carbon is craftable..
was more or less hoping the Devs would answer it with a nod or something lol.
