Ore Smelting

Started by Foohy,

The problem is solved, the problem I had is in the spoiler.

It seems like I am facing a dilema.

I just started playing TFC yesterday and I learned the basics of how to get started.

I am currently at the phase of smelting my first ore into bars, and here is the problem.

From what I heard from the youtube videos I saw, you need 16 pieces of starting ore to make a bar, so I went and started breaking rocks around and hoped to get ores.

In the end I got 16 bismithinite and 16 cassiterite but when I started smelting them into the fire pit they dissapear once they get "Very Hot"

This is the problem I am facing, I am using Ash wood to heat up the fire and I think that may be the problem, Ash doesn't heat up the fire to too high temperatures.

What wood should I use to get to smelting this ore?

EDIT: I am thinking of getting charcoal and trying to fuel the fire with it, don't know if it works, I will edit the post if this is the answer to my problem. (it didn't work)

When ores get hot enough, they turn into liquid so you need something to catch it with. You need to find clay, put them into the crafting bench in the shape of a boat which makes clay molds, then put the clay mold in the fire pit and heat it up until it turns into a ceramic mold. Put the ceramic mold in the space under where you are smelting the ores to catch the liquid, then fill it up with 15-16 small pieces of ore.

Good luck.
