TFC has 22 metals of which 10 are Alloys. They are split into 6 tiers, 1-6, each of which is an advancement in the technology tree that opens up more and/or better options. Metals can be processed in 3 unique ways.

Metal Processing
Metal Processing is carried out by 3 distinct methods: Melting & Casting, the Bloomery and the Blast Furnace. Melting & Casting are for the metals requiring lower temperatures to be processed, whereas the Bloomery is for Wrought Iron production, and the Blast Furnace is for production of Steels.
Melting & Casting
Melting and Casting will be your first endeavor into working with metals. There are two ways to do 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 the metal you are working with. Not only will you be using this to get molten metal for Casting but you can 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 is then 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 a blast furnace will give you Pig Iron that is then worked into steel.
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. Metal must be in either the Workable or Weldable range to be worked, but can only be welded in the Weldable range!
- Working temperature is found by doing
Melting Temp * 0.6
- Welding temperature is found by doing
Melting Temp * 0.8
