Metals

TFC has 22 metals of witch 10 are Alloys, With these metals comes 3 unique ways to process them. All of these metals are split up into 6 tiers, 1-6, each tier is an advancement in the tech tree that opens up more and/or better options.

Metal Processing

Metal Processing is made up of 3 distinct options, Melting & Casting, the Bloomery and the Blast Furnace. Except for Melting & Casting the rest are unique to one type of metal.

Melting & Casting

Melting and Casting will be your first endeavor into working with metals. There are two ways to this, either fill a Small Vessel with Ore then Heat it inside of a FirePit/Pit Kiln or you can use the Crucible over a Forge. Just make sure to pick a way that gets hot enough for your metal you are working with. Not only will you be using this to get molten metal for Casting but you make Alloys with these same methods! When doing this make sure to follow the recipe for the alloy you wish to make otherwise you will end up with Unknown Metal!

Bloomery

The Bloomery is where you will make an Iron Bloom that then is turned into Wrought Iron. This is the only way of getting Wrought Iron as melting Iron will give you nothing.

Blast Furnace

A Blast Furnace is your gateway to Steel and all the Steel Alloys. Smelting Iron Ore in one will give you Pig Iron that is then worked into other other steels.

Temperatures

Each metal has 4 specific temperature ranges that allow you do work with it. These are known as the Unworkable, Workable, Weldable and Liquid ranges. The Workable range extends into the Weldable range but you can not Weld in the Workable range!

• Working temperature is found by doing Melting Temp * 0.6
• Welding temperature is found by doing Melting Temp * 0.8
