      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.

Quick alloying question

Today I tried b77 for the first time, coming back to TFC after a longer hiatus... Doing well for myself, I'm at the point where I can start on tier 2 metals. So since I had the ingredients, I went to try bismuth bronze.

 

The wiki states: 10-20% bismuth, 20-30% zinc, 50-70% copper.

 

I inserted the following: 10 small bismuthinite (100 bismuth), 30 small sphalerite (300 zinc), 18 tetrahedrite (600 copper).

 

However, after firing the kiln, the ceramic vessel came back out with the ore still intact, nothing had melted. I know the kiln was built correctly because the three molds I was firing along with the vessel came out properly ceramic. So, why did my alloy not work out?

 One small ore produces 10 metal units, while a normal ore produces 25 metal units.

 

10 small bismuth = 100 bismuth *Correct

30 small sphalerite = 300 zinc *Correct

18 tetrahedrite = 450 copper

 

If you want 600 copper units, and you are using regular ore, you will need 24, not 18

... Aha. That's where my error was. Well, throwing in six extra tetrahedrite should be easy enough.

 

Though I could have sworn I counted three per ingot while smelting copper... must have mistcounted.

 

 

EDIT: confirming this worked. Thanks!
