Smelt Settings
Smelts the metal that's already in a crucible. It stirs with your stirring rod until "At last the metal appears to be thoroughly mixed", and turns the crucible, works the bellows and adds fuel whenever the game asks. With refine, it pours in flux first.
You often won't run it yourself: makesteel, smelt-deeds, workorders and restock-shop fill a crucible and then run it. Run it directly when you've put your metal in a crucible yourself.
Start it standing at a crucible with your metal already in it. It doesn't put anything in the crucible, and it doesn't check there is one. Without one, it just keeps trying to stir.
See Crafting Setup for forging tools and toolbelts.
forging_tools:
- stirring rod
- bellows
- shovel
adjustable_tongs: false| Setting | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| forging_tools | bellow, diagonal-peen hammer, shovel, tong | Smelt only looks here for your stirring rod: the first entry with "rod" in it. The default list has no rod, so add yours. If none is listed, it assumes stirring rod and says so each run. |
| adjustable_tongs | false | Your tongs adjust into a shovel. At the start it gets your tongs, adjusts them into a shovel and puts them away, then uses them to add fuel instead of a shovel. If they turn out not to be adjustable, it tells you to set this to false and uses a shovel instead. |
You need a stirring rod, bellows, and a shovel (or adjustable tongs). For refine, you also need flux. The bellows, shovel, tongs and flux are always fetched by those names, whatever forging_tools says.
crafting_container: backpack
crafting_items_in_container:
forging_belt:| Setting | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| crafting_container | backpack | Where tools are put away when they aren't on your belt. If one won't fit, it's STOWed instead. |
| crafting_items_in_container | Items to take only from crafting_container, such as flux. |
|
| forging_belt | Toolbelt your forging tools hang on, if any. Tools on it are untied from it and tied back on. |
If a tool can't be found, it says "You seem to be missing" and the tool's name, and stops.
There are no settings for these; this is what to expect.
- Puts away whatever's in your hands, and sets up adjustable tongs if you have them.
- With
refine, gets your flux and pours it into the crucible. If the pour fails, it says "Missing Flux" and stops. - Stirs the crucible with your rod, then does whatever the game asks for next:
| The game says | It does |
|---|---|
| "...clumps of molten metal..." | TURN CRUCIBLE with your rod |
| "...flickers and is unable to consume..." | PUSH your bellows |
| "...needs more fuel..." | PUSH FUEL with your shovel (or tongs) |
| anything else | Stir again |
- Each time it needs a different tool, it puts away the one in your hand and gets the next.
- Stops on "At last the metal appears to be thoroughly mixed", or when the game says "You can only mix a crucible...", then puts your rod away.
| Argument | Purpose |
|---|---|
| refine | Pour flux into the crucible first, then smelt as usual. |
