Wahazar Posted October 15, 2025 Report Posted October 15, 2025 Melting ores (which are complex metal compounds) directly in crucible is unsettling for me. Therefore I created mod, where first we smelt ores in firepit, then we melt pure metal bits in crucible. Only nuggets of native metals (for example native copper) can be directly melted in crucible. Minerals, like Cassiterite (tin oxide), Bismutinite (bismuth sulfide) etc, require thermal treatment in presence of carbon, to reduce these compounds into bits of pure metal. Bonus - whole ore chunks can be roasted, as alternative (but slower than using hammer) method of acquiring metal bits. Current version: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/33024 2
