Add the ability to change the fuel rates for servers that are lets say running quick smelt. This would be very handy! At the moment I am running at 5x speed and the furnace splitter can't seem to calculate the difference. However, I dont expect the plugin to be able to "predict" another mods settings, so maybe let us admins enter values and work out the change our selves? We can post the settings here for our different set ups and people can just copy paste the cfg files! :)
Option for fuel ratesSuggestion
This sounds like a really good suggestion.
In the meantime is there a way to edit the config files to allow furnace splitter to take the correct amount of fuel/wood whilst using both plugins (furnace splitter & Quick Smelt (x2 speed)?

Not without what i have surgested above.
I've figured out how to configure it correctly.
Here's an example with a 2x output. You need to set the Speed Multipliers and the Fuel Usage Speed Multipliers to match that of your QuickSmelt config.

I think you are confused, when running a server with QuickSmelt using anything over 1x rate, FurnaceSplitter doesn't calculate the correct fuel amount. Changing the fuel usage, speed etc in the QuickSmelt config wont change what FurnaceSplitter calculates, unless I am missing something??HighweighI've figured out how to configure it correctly.

You are correct, it doesn't change what furnace splitter calculates. It places in the amount of wood it would take to smelt the ore at a vanilla setting no matter what.
The problem lies when you increase the quicksmelt output to anything above 1x but leave the fuel usage alone. This will smelt the ore at a increased rate but it does not increase the rate of fuel usage leaving you with left over wood.
If you set the fuel usage to the same rate as the output rate on quicksmelt the ore and the wood will be used at the same increased rate, leaving you with no wood left after the smelting is complete.

Yes I see that, I did that when I first encountered the problem, but then the players on my server complained, rightly so, that smelting used far too much wood.

Well it's using the same amount it would in a vanilla server but yes if you want to reduce the cost of smelting all together then you'll have to deal with the excess wood for now at least
If anyone is using this plugin with Quick Smelt, and wants a version that doesn't have the "ETA" message (because it's wrong if you change the smelt speed), here is an edited version I made that simply removes the ETA message and only shows how much wood is required. You will still need to configure Quick Smelt to use the vanilla amount of wood per output.
Furnace Splitter Plugin (For Use With Quick Smelt)
It's easy enough to edit the plugin to display the correct eta and wood amounts.

Not for people with very limited knowledge of coding like myself.
