Ore
Ores are resource blocks that can be mined by the player for use in Casting, Blooming, Smithing, and Steel making. Once mined, they drop either ore nuggets or chunks instead of the ore block themselves. Different ores may require different processing methods to be used.
Obtaining
Ores can be found on the surface as surface ores or found below as deep ores. Finding surface ores usually means there are deep ores below.
Usage
Ores can be smelted into molten variants of that ore, this is done usually in a firepit and crucible. Molten ore can then casted into a mold. Blooming allows ores that require more heat than a firepit can provide to be smelted down. Smithing is when an ore is processed into an ingot and then smithed or manually molded into an available recipe. This could be weapon blades, tools, or another item. Carburizing is when Iron is carburized or transformed into blister steel and then manually hammered and worked into Steel.
