Post a log of the crash/error if you can. No one can really help you otherwise and just makes the process a lot smoother.

Oh, neat. I can't stand all the little legs, either. Can we do this with vanilla creatures like silverfish in a config file?

You have to make a cast with a stone tool part. Learned that the hard way. Definitely make an ingot cast straight away. It's kind of a waste of gold tho to use it to make casts, so I'd definitely save up alum/copper for that instead. The only parts you can't use are the fletching and bow string (because they have to be feather/leaf or string/cloth material) to make casts with. Make sure you've got stone tool parts though. Wood doesn't work. I'm having a lot of trouble making the casts and casting the parts though, but I think it's because the stuff gets buggy if you try to add drains later on. ( Ugh. I wish this could be updated within hexxit. Otherwise I might just have to mod my vanilla to be a pseudo-hexxit.) It's pretty frustrating, so make sure you don't add any drains on the corners or destroy any blocks after you start using the smeltery. Just to be on the safe side.

Have you used the Battle Towers that spawn in the world already?

When you change it to recipe mode, you can still get items off the scrolling list? If you haven't tried to get items from the side, pls do. It should bring up the recipes for the item instead. (Some don't have recipes tho) I messed around with the settings some yesterday, it took a little bit to get it to stop being cheaty.

I put in Rei's Minimap. You just have to make absolutely sure you have a 1.5.2 mod version, because if you put anything newer in it it's gonna freak out.

Is there a way we can update Hexxit on our own? I mean I realise updating every single mod by hand is going to be exhausting and probly frustrating but, I'm not sure if it can be done. I'm still kind of new to this stuff. :/ The smeltery is getting so frustrating though with all its bugs. ><
