Casting: Difference between revisions

Copper and Bronze Alloys may be cast into tool heads using [[molds|clay molds]]. Place the [[molds|mold]] to be filled on a solid surface (Shift + Right mouse button). Tool molds occupy one block, but ingot molds may be placed two to a block. The [[Metal|metal]] can be poured into prepared molds when heated to a temperature above its melting point. When the metals are ready to cast, the heated crucible will appear glowing and will shift to the firepit output slot (GUI: right). Place the crucible in an active hotbar slot and and use the Right mouse button to pour materials into the [[molds|ingot or tool mold]]. When the mold is filled ('''tool heads and ingots require 100 units per item'''), no more metal can be added to the mold. The metal will begin to cool in the mold. Once the metal is cold, ingots and tool heads can be removed from the molds. ''If a player attempts to pick up a mold before the metal is cool, the liquid material will be lost.'' A partially filled mold cannot be picked up without losing the material, even after the metal cools.
