Degen_Andi Posted August 10, 2025 Report Posted August 10, 2025 (edited) So, I've been experiencing a consistent issue with the new metal variant I'm making. The only parts that aren't working are; the new metal loses it's texture when placed in an anvil despite the texture being present when placed on the ground, and the anvil isn't accepting the new metal as a workable item. I've decided to use the provided ModMaker.exe by changing the base games assets. I've scoured more json files than I can think of (even ones that have nothing to do with the Forge, the Anvil, or metal) and I've seated the new metal (Melting point is present where other metal melting points are present, required anvil tier is present where other metal's anvil tier is present) as properly as I can but these issues refuse to be resolved. Does anybody have a suggestion or even a fix? Edited August 10, 2025 by Degen_Andi
Spear and Fang Posted August 10, 2025 Report Posted August 10, 2025 (edited) Adding a new metal can be a pita. I've helped a couple of people work through all the details but there's quite a bit to it. My suggestion is to look at some mods that add a new metal and examine one that you like closely.

I have a similar/related problem (https://www.vintagestory.at/forums/topic/16808-new-type-of-ingot-how/) and i searched the modDb for mods related to Smithing, but didn't find a single one that would be ADDING a new metal (i think i found some replacing/modifying existing metals, but that doesn't help).
