[Solved - User Error] its about the unshaped ingot mold of copper

[Xaton 0]

i heated the ingot back up into the mold and then you get the UI wen right click  I place tool mold into said spot that is said to work and nada metal doesn't shift over or fill the mold. but wiki said it  soposed to. so not sure if there was change or if I actualy found a bug for once lol

Could you post a screenshot? Are you sure that the copper ingot mold is completely full, and the tool mold has been fired so that it is ceramic, and not clay? A clay mold is blue, a ceramic mold is brown. You need to use the ceramic one.

I fired it in th epit kiln so its that dark brown look. and stuff let me see if can screen shot it has to log in.  but also suggestion is some easyer way to fire clay then pit kiln like a stone oven or something.

Also make sure that you heat the ingot mold hot enough so that it doesn't become solid temperature again while you have the interface open. If you heated it up so it was just barely liquid, it's very likely that by the time you opened up the interface and put the second mold in that the ingot had already cooled off, and wasn't hot enough to pour anymore. Also make sure you are paying attention to the progress arrow. When casting a tool mold, the arrow will fill from left to right, and then the empty tool mold will move over to the right and be full. This takes some time, and if your ingot cools off before it finishes, it will not complete.

I have the ingot orange heat fresh from melting it in thing and no indication of it transferring over arrow wise unless its that slow of progress

[Kittychanley 1,002]

That's your problem. You need to heat it up hotter so that it has some time to cool down without immediately solidifying. It has to be liquid temperature the entire time, and it's probably cooled off to be solid temperature by the time you actually try to pour it.

Look at your first picture, nowhere on the ingot does it say liquid. Orange**** is liquid, but then it cooled down to Orange** and now it isn't liquid anymore. It was liquid, and then it cooled down. Now it's not liquid so it won't pour. You have to heat it up to at least Yellow so that in the time that you take to open the interface and add the mold, the ingot doesn't cool off so that it's below liquid temperature.

but also a bigger kiln that isn't in the ground could also help like a brick oven type thing. and way to smelt native ore with out using a clay vessel

[Kittychanley 1,002]

A bigger kiln has been suggested before, and we are considering it. You can smelt ore in a crucible in addition to a vessel. Please keep the support forum for support, and post any suggestions in the suggestions forum.
