      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.

cassiterite not smelting

13 posts in this topic

I threw down some cassiterite down a bloomery, like usually with a bit of coal, however nothing's happening, the coal gets accepted and goes into the charcoal slot in the bloomery however the cassiterite just lays there on the fire block.

Do you have an empty bloomery or a bloomery with some metal in it? Because you need an empty one.

Also is this a world made in B69 or earlier? Because there were changes to bloomeries and you have to destroy them all and remake them if it's an earlier world.

I did make the bloomery in 69 and it was completely empty.

Okay... do you have any other mods installed? Forge and player version and such? We have to start with the assumption it's a problem on your end if nobody else is able to reproduce it here, so we need a bit more info on what you have running.

You say "charcoal slot"... I don't want to insult your intelligence, but we should start from the bottom up: are you sure you're using a bloomery and not a forge? Just checking.

Also, if you are in fact using a bloomery, I find it's helpful to throw ore in one-at-a-time (instead of throwing a stack out of your inventory) if it starts acting strange.

And if you ARE using a forge as GT stated, you cannot smelt ores in a forge, only in a bloomery or firepit..

The Forge GUI:

The Bloomery GUI(in Build 67+): Posted Image

Just for help ( the pics). I am pretty sure you are using a bloomery though, as you said "threw". But yes, make sure to throw ore in one at a time, I always do it and it works every time. Sometimes, I have some problems with full stacks though. ( However, it was in previous builds, such as around 60)

I throw in stacks all the time no problem, so it probably isn't that.

I have this problem occasionaly. heat your bloomery and throw in an empty mold. there is probably some invisible ore in there somewhere.

if that's not it, I can't help you.

Make sure it's not a "small" or "nugget" ores, bloomeries does not accept them as far as I know.

I may be confusing you.

Sorry, I quoted wrong

Not true, you can put small ores in the bloomery, it's even more efficient because they give more metal this way, and you can even mix small and normal ores, they will yield the proper ammounts
