@{557058:55837d30-c210-4b67-899f-972675258158} Thank you for your comment. Indeed, I’m aware of your work and have looked at the new RePrimAnd library a bit, however, I haven’t worked with the new thorn nor looked at what would be needed to interface the Fuka thorns with another EOS framework.

The `kadath_pizza` thorn is quite trivial, but plays a necessary role. For simulations that utilize a tabulated equation of state, the initial temperature and Ye need to be initialized prior to the ID_CONVERT stages. For our internal codes, the EOS manager initializes these values for us based on the extracted cold beta equilibrium slice, however, this was not the case when I was trying to run some comparison tests with WhiskyTHC. Instead of making the importer thorn more bloated I decided to write `kadath_pizza` to keep this functionality isolated and modular since interfaces differ between EOS frameworks.
