Salvatos

Thank you so much.

WHY DID NOBODY EXPLAIN THIS ON THE WIKI!!!!!

This is nonsense.

Nonsense?

Seems pretty logical that in order to hammer out metal, you'd have to hammer it against the surface of the stone.

You'd have to be pretty damn skilled to successful make anything of use, when hammering it against the side of a a stone (i.e. a wall).

But as long as you've got it working now, that's all that matters.

Well my question was that the bend might be out of reach of its search range. In that picture the bend occurs right away, while in yours the bend occurs after several more blocks.

Yah, you can have the ventilation be one to the side.

Not sure why your setup doesn't work, unless the overhang is too high for it to register the ventilation to the sides.

Couldn't make the forge in creative and it's getting too late.

Did you try picking up that wooden block and seeing if you could access the forge once it was cleared?

Normally when you can't right click on the forge, it is due to the fact that it lacks sufficient ventilation (i.e. chimney/ can see the sky).

So, without the overhang it'd have direct access to the sky, correct?

Could you remove the overhang and then see if the forge works properly?

Also a screenshot of your setup wouldn't hurt.

It seems to be a common problem, probably a bug which will be fixed soon.

Ah, yes right.

Well if you have anything you want to add, here's the bug report for this issue:

First suggestion would be to try a new clean install and see if the problem still persists.

Well, sure looks like what happens when it's missing the resource file.

Could you try re-downloading it (maybe it was a bad download) and see if that resolves it, or better yet just try a completely clean install. If that doesn't fix it, we could go from there.

EDIT: i found a canyon-like structure with some top-exposed rock and it works there. Is it that you can not clear dirt off of a rock first?

Nope that shouldn't be an issue.

The first time I used it after the update, I had just dug a hole beside my firepit, to hit workable stone.

Kelvin!!!

Who doesn't enjoy nice 290 K weather.

But on a serious note, what do you mean?

Also, just a little question to the devs team: why you choosed farenheit for showing temperatures? ._.

Didn't they use Celsius?

Well none of mine have disappeared (I put up a sign with the initial count of livestock ), they've just become infertile and won't even try to breed anymore. (Though I do have the duel gender bug/SMP)

You can't shape a liquid. You have to wait till it solidifies into a malleable substance.

So wait for it to not become a liquid and then you have some time to work it.

Also you can't use the plan until you have an ingot.

You work the ore to get an ingot, then with the plan you hammer out the desired material.

Well if you want a cheap way to scope out your charcoal pit, wooden doors are currently fireproof. (Idea from Crysyn)

Would be interesting, more so the attraction of the lighting then the protection from it, but probably not going to happen if Benji was the 1st one to knowingly utilize it in the 1700s.

BTW is lighting really that much of a danger for you? I've rarely even seen it hit anything remotely close to my person or property.

Electricity wasn't harnessed by humans for gain or study of any sort until around 1600. Not gonna happen

Aw, but what about the Baghdad battery .

Well, could also try and post your seed, someone with some time on their hands might be able to pinpoint a deposit.

To the best of my knowledge, their are no current functions involving quenching and nothing has been implemented to utilize that feature.

also CreepyCreeps100, on 01 June 2012 - 06:31 AM, said:

"...Although there was a quench option until it got removed in beta 1."

Well the sluice will only holds 50 in its queue and any excess blocks placed on it will stay there until it it no longer full(or just disappears) and it will then use a block to fill itself, i.e. once its queue is at 49 it will then consume an entire block to bring its queue back to 50.

So if he had tossed 64 block on the sluice (and none disappeared/unloaded) then it probably would have run about 111 times (initial 50 queue + 61 blocks left on top), compared to the 1280 times it would have run at max efficiency.

So I hope we just misunderstood his statement, and didn't waste all of that.

And from my experience my sand sluices (9x) seem to produce a lot higher ratio of gems to ore, compared to my gravel sluices (5x), though they were also in two different areas, and I wasn't especially trying to compare results.

I'd say something like this:

Have you tested anything like that?

From what I had heard, the fire-pit had to be in the center, else there were issues with it not burning.

Though that certainly would be the preferred way to do it, if it worked.

I'd say quickly .

But seriously, your best bet might be from underneath. Have a tunnel going to the base of the fire-pit and just leave a space besides the fire-pit (so you can reach it), light it, then cover that space with wood, then fill in the place under the wood and proceed to use the tunnel to get out from beneath the fire pit.

Granted that's just speculation, but probably your best bet to not load 13+ log piles to get out.

Here's a little basic diagram:

Also if you want to see a big one (though not mine):

Not that I wouldn't mind the alternative fuel usage, but wouldn't that take away from the need of advancing to get charcoal for the forge in order to mass cook things (cause everyone cooks their meals where they work their metals ).

(Also, is having a fired ceramic mold in one of the output slots the right way to try to catch the liquid metal? This is the first time I've actually had metal to smelt, never found any in 44b.)

YES, you need the ceramic molds in the output slot, if you're trying to melt down ore. Unless of course, you want Steve to dig into the fire pit and scoop of the liquefied metal .

And yah, finding any ore in the last few versions was nearly torturous. But now starter metals galore.

wait, does this mean that anvils are meant to revert back to a stone block? i'd thought that was a bug and honestly was hoping to see it fixed soon.

Yup, that's what it seems like and how I interpreted it. You're just using the stone's surface to resist the metal as you hit it with the hammer, you're not turning the raw stone into an actual anvil. Anyways, with the annoyance of it turning back and being unable to store your hammer, plans and flux in a rock, it gives you more incentive to try and make an actual anvil ASAP.

In regards to you loosing your unshaped ingot, that could happen if you brought the bottom arrow all the way of the edge of either the right or left side (meaning you worked the metal into an unrecognizable worthless piece of junk).

As for reheating, I've never had that issue and you should be able to reheat worked ingots, but that is a bug that has been acknowledged:

Have you tried deleting your config folder?
