or more like a reference, really. (i hope this is an okay thing to post here? i'm not sure if these sorts of things are allowed)
INPUT/PROCESSING RATE: ~0.50 per sec.
OUTPUTS:
stoneDust to iron: 0.25/s (note: you can do straight stone to iron but it has a much lower return rate. 0.08 iron/s. yikes)
iron to lead: 0.40 lead/s
lead to copper: 0.30 copper/s
copper to silver: 0.25 silver/s
silver to gold: 0.20 gold/s
gold to quicksilver: 0.25 quicksilver/s
"if I put in so much of one material, how much will I get of the next?":
(input amount) / 0.5 * (output rate)
:) this is mostly for me but it might help someone else who wants to calculate exact times and amounts (or just likes math)
if you're using straight up stone and want 25 gold, you need roughly 1,628 stone. with one transmuter, it'll take at least 28-29 hours. ain't that a while.
if you're using stoneDust and want 25 gold, you only need about 521 stoneDust, and it'll take you at minimum just about 9 hours. save yourself the extra 20 and use stoneDust.
my math might be a little off, by the way. just a disclaimer.
