Blacksmithing Changes

[Srgnoodles 1,030]

There are 3 lines that look like the bottom of the "spoiler" box under the actual spoiler. I click "show" and they are still there.

Looking at the actual post, I think it has something to do with the "enter" spaces, the new lines, oyu put in it...

so sir, did you remember to bring your towel?

Always.

In fact, I own 42 of them.

From a different thread, but...

My Skin ingame has one, yes, and at college I carry one in my satchel. It HAS come in handy on more than one occasion

Nevermind, saw the other post lol

Wait, was there an old Hitch hiker's guide? or am i missing something...

The books have been around since the 80's, I believe, with a short TV series (the source of my avatar) about the same time. Radio Broadcasts happened about the 90's...

Back on topic, Jed, are you gonna update the OP with the metal shards idea?

[Jed1314 420]

Sorry :S .. I totally forgot :L I'll do that right after I finish my dinner

[Srgnoodles 1,030]

ummm back on topic...

Blacksmithing....yay!

[Arthur_Dent 36]

ummm back on topic...

Blacksmithing....yay!

Yay! (Dang, it's easy to get sidetraked here )

If I do say so myself, it seems the only problem with the blacksmithing procces suggested was solved with the "metal shards" idea... Well, and the coding

Yes, unfortunately (like most of my ideas seemingly) I have suggested something which would be a bitch to code :L

[Just_Another_Guy_:) 1,066]

if you were an expert at coding, you would be millionaire you have pretty good ideas most of the time

[Jed1314 420]

You are too kind

I was once considering going into coding instead of manufacture, but I didn't. Part of me still deeply regrets that decision :/

I have always said I would learn java in my free time, but it is one of those pipe dreams I will never follow :S .. It would take me years to get to a level which would allow me to follow through on the ideas I have. I could probably list you a good couple of complete games, but sadly it was never meant to be

[antimattergizmo 41]

The best part is when newbies come on to a server for help (which I wouldn't spare them by giving) and try there firs smithing job, completely fail, and rage quit because they can't get OP armour within 30 minutes of playing vanilla

[Scooterdanny 285]

Lmao, then they aren't fit for the mod.

if you can use waterflow will be nice (is used is some industries), its have an bigger tax of cooling than the normal water. i think that some metals can't suffer temper with salinized water or it will become too hard that will break in any impact.

Carbonization:

Maybe can be a good idea use something like an closed box with coal inside it (in real life also use a substance that become gas in process, but i don't sure if is a good idea) to carbonizate tool heads (this give more durability for some of them (like iron pickaxe, or cut tools)) keeping that box in certain temperature for different times will until an mark of time, named "optimum" the process will give more durability, after that mark, the material will get little less durability (due overhard surface). this process also must be in lower temperatures than the used to temperate the tools, or you will lose the temper.

Glass:

You also can temper glass to make it more resistant.

Also I think that is a good idea use the metal basis in chance of break on differents quenchings:

for example (real life):

if you do quenching with water in iron( if i not wrong, is classifiqued as iron if it have more than 2% of carbone in composition, so its very hard and can't be hammed while cool or it can break) it have an very big chance of break, or became very low resistence.

But if you use steel (iron with less than 2% of carbone is considered steel, but in exemple lets consider iron with less then 0,4% of carbon) you can give to it a very brutal quenching and it can not break too easy.

In addiction some thinks may never break, like in "ideal" pure iron, you can give any quenching thet it don't break, but also gain no resistence.

also if you want, i already studied a little about heat tratament in university, and i can search something more to put here.

Use of commum alloys and alloys microalloyed (alloys with very little amount of other materials) can be and very big expansion to things, maybe with can make more uses to some of ores.

Also if you want something more complex, sometimes you can use 2 stages of quenchings to get an better material:

example(real life again): you can get hot steel, cool a little with oil until it set in a band of temperature per time (due internal cinetics), and so you quench with water, this make you get one "material" that isn't too hard as if it was cooled only in water ( but it still very hard ) and also its more resistant (it don't cracks too easy). Using some alloys (like using some chrome can make easier (or harder?)) to get this better "material" due it makes this band of (cristaline) transformation bigger. Using some alloys also can let you get anothers types of "materials" or make the process easier or faster.

Use of "alloys (this have another name)" in glass also can produces glass more resistant to heat, for example (also know as pyrex [search in wikipédia])

sorry for the bad english xD I must learn this better.

Excellent post mate !

I study the heat treatment of metal at university myself

The system I described in the post earlier was a (very) simplified version of the principles of metal heat treatment. I didn't want to go too in depth at risk of alienating too much of the community.

I like the idea of glass tempering being made available though

[Omri100 7]

there is one type of alloy named cunife which is used to reinforce glass

made of:60% copper (Cu) , 20% nickel(Ni), 20%iron (Fe)

its quite a strong alloy with a high melting point

perheps it could be an alternetive of steel?

eh i forget do we have nickel in TFC?

[Peffern 94]

Yes there is. You currently need it to make black steel and I can't find any.

[Srgnoodles 1,030]

ah,

yknow is it sad that even though im active on the TFC forums, i havn't actually played TFC in months?

blasphemy.

[Srgnoodles 1,030]

blasphemy.

im so sorry!!! I REGRET EVERYTHING!!!!!!11!
