Pit Firing Metals

To create your first tools and begin to cast metal parts, you will need to use a pit kiln to melt your metals down.

1. You will need the same processes of setting up as with regular Pit Firing.
2. To melt metals, you will need a Fired Clay Vessel. Clay vessels can be right clicked on while holding items in the inventory to add items into them.
3. Once you've added enough metal items and are ready to cook it, place it in the Pit Kiln like firing any other item.
4. Once the firing completes, the vessel will be filled with molten metal, comprised of whatever metal items were added to to vessel before firing.
5. If the ratios of metals matches an alloy, that alloy will be created.
6. With the vessel full of molten metal, right clicking over a clay mold will remove one ingot's worth of metal from the vessel and put it in the mold.
7. Molds take different amounts of metal to fill, based on what the vanilla counterpart would require.
8. Once enough metal is in the mold, you can craft the filled mold into the corresponding tool part.
9. If you accidentally fill the wrong mold or can't fill it all the way, a partially filled mold can be crafted into metal chunks equivalent to the amount of metal contained, and the chunks can be re-melted in a vessel again.
