SurtlingFuel
Tired of burning through wood to make coal? Put those surplus Surtling Cores to work! This mod lets you use Surtling Cores as a premium fuel source in both the Smelter and Blast Furnace.
Features
- Surtling Cores as fuel — walk up to a smelter or blast furnace and add cores directly
- 4x fuel value — 1 Surtling Core provides 4 coal-equivalent fuel (smelts 2 ores)
- 2x smelting speed — ores process twice as fast while burning core fuel
- Cores take priority — if you have cores in your inventory, they'll be used first over coal
- Fully configurable — tweak all values via BepInEx config file
Configuration
After first run, edit BepInEx/config/com.dejan.surtlingfuel.cfg:
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SmelterFuelPerCore | 4 | Coal-equivalent fuel per core in the smelter (2 coal per ore, so 4 = 2 ores) |
| BlastFurnaceFuelPerCore | 4 | Coal-equivalent fuel per core in the blast furnace (2 coal per ore, so 4 = 2 ores) |
| SpeedMultiplier | 2.0 | Smelting speed multiplier while burning cores |

CHANGELOG
Changelog
1.4.0
- No mixed fuel: Smelters now only burn one fuel type at a time. Coal is blocked while cores burn, and vice versa.
- Server speed fix: Speed boost now works on dedicated servers via proper RPC (requires mod on server).
- New config:
PreferCoresOverCoal— client-side toggle for fuel priority when pressing E. - Performance: Cached field accessor instead of per-tick reflection.
- Safety: RPC handler caps fuel to prevent overfilling; divide-by-zero guard on SpeedMultiplier.
- Cleaned up all debug logging.
1.3.0
- Fixed inventory search to find surtling cores by prefab name and localized name.
- Fixed Harmony patching using manual method resolution.
- Fixed BepInEx/Harmony version mismatch by referencing r2modman profile DLLs.
1.0.0
- Initial release.
- Surtling cores as fuel in smelter and blast furnace.
- Configurable fuel value and speed multiplier.
- Hover text shows surtling core as fuel option.
