the_abiding_dude Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I am having trouble smelting. I can mix ores in the smelter just fine and I have been making a lot of bronze. But I can't seem to pour it onto a casting table. I put a faucet on the drain and a casting table below it, but nothing happens. Anything I should know about what I need to pour metal? Quote
Lethosos Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 A cast is needed. You'll need aluminum brass or gold to be poured on an empty casting table to make a blank cast. But the books should have told you that, too. Quote
the_abiding_dude Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Ahhh I see my error. I needed to pour BRASS, not bronze, to make a blank cast. Thanks Quote
the_abiding_dude Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Actually, scratch that. I cant pour brass or gold either. What is going on? Quote
Lethosos Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Well, you can skip directly casting the armor by making the Ignot cast form. Just make a handle stencil and make it again with the same stencil. I don't think it was removed AFAIK, so give that a try. Quote
Jay? Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Are you sure you emptied out your reservoir of bronze before making the brass/gold? The smeltery will try to pour what's left of the bronze first. Quote
the_abiding_dude Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 I had to reinstall it. Now it works and I can make blank casts. Now how do I make certain casts and stencils? Quote
Lethosos Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Use the Stencil Bench, you poke holes in them the same way. Quote
the_abiding_dude Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 I don't know what you mean. There is only one input slot on the stencil bench. What do I put in it and what will it do? Quote
Lethosos Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 O.o ...I'm done here, if he isn't going to read those books he gets for free in-game. Quote
the_abiding_dude Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Okay I have all the casts and enough bronze to last until the end of the world. I have a handguard, a tool rod, and a sword blade (all bronze). How do I put them together? Crafting table wont work Quote

the_abiding_dude Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Finally, after about 30 minutes of uncovering my idiocy and making progress, I am fully set up for smelting. Last thing: know of any alloys that aren't listed in the book? The book said there were more than just what was listed Quote

Last thing: know of any alloys that aren't listed in the book? The book said there were more than just what was listed I haven't discovered any others, but i didn't do much experimenting. I'd expect steel to be an alloy of iron and one of the alloy-only materials though. tin or aluminum or something. Quote
Lethosos Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Steel only works if you have an another mod with Steel registered in the Forge Ore Dictionary. Also, mDiyo is planning on adding Metallurgy support, so that may be the other alloys he speaks of. Quote

the_abiding_dude Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 HAHAHA!!! Now I have enough manyullyn to arm a small military Quote
Jay? Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 HAHAHA!!! Now I have enough manyullyn to arm a small military Ah but have you fully sharpened your sword yet? Also, here's a tip. Without sacrificing tool quality, you can make bindings/crossgaurds out of paper, and get an extra modifier slot. Quote
Onikrex Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 So, what's the best thing to make weapons out of? o 3o Quote
Jay? Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 So, what's the best thing to make weapons out of? o 3o I like Manyullyn for the blade and rod, and paper for the crossgaurd. I use longswords. If you can find a decent source of witherbones, i split the modifications 50/50 between witherbone and quartz upgrades. Quote

Jay? Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 How does one make Manyullyn? Read the books that the game provides. Quote
Reaper4578 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I can't figure out how to make the smelter. I tried and it didn't work. Quote
Spudgy Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 If you can't figure it out from the books, which give the recipes for the different metals, watch a mod spotlight video. It'll also show how to lay out the smelter and use the patterns etc. Short video on the smeltery More detail http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tinkers construct Quote
