      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Obtaining unshaped wrought iron

3 posts in this topic

Hello everyone, this is my first post... Hope I'm not disappointing everyone :rolleyes:

I've finally got to the point where making some steel would be possible, but i ran into a problem. I'm not sure what I'm missing. The wiki says that steel is made by combining unshaped pig iron + 3x unshaped wrought iron. Now I thought that the only way to get wrought iron is to work pig iron ingots - which produces wrought iron ingots. I then tried to melt my ingots into a ceramic mold, but my firepit isn't hot enough, I barely get the ingot yellow. I could use a forge to melt my iron, but how do I catch the liquid in that case? Can I do this with my bloomery perhaps?

tl,dr:

You need liquid wrought iron to make steel. You can only get wrought iron in ingots. How do you melt these ingots into molds, if a firepit isn't hot enough?

You put the ceramic molds in the slots on the right side of the forge (I use the top slot), and they will catch the metal when it melts. It's always a good idea to keep a stack of ceramic molds in that slot of your forge, just in case of mistakes where you accidentally heat something too much.

Thanks, VegasGoat, I thought that if anything melts in forge, it's gone for good! Had to always keep an eye on everything inside just to make sure that I'm not melting anything... Geez, what a useless bother that was :D
