Melchior Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Many have contemplated the Riddle of STEEL. Unlike so many - I have A solution. Preview-Release for V.S. 1.13.* ~ Version 0.1.2 [PHASE ZERO] Era of STEEL Preview-Release 0.1.2 (DEBUG) (code+content mod; install it on Server & Client!) Features: Converting regular smithed Iron products (only some of them!) into a form of STEEL Quenching (Temper-Hardening) Sharpening New Spear tip model, New Sword blade model Steel Mail & Scale Kinda-mostly realistic Steel production process based on actual research & historical facts Steel tools USABLE in standard recipes [Incomplete things]: Steel arrows...not yet Better process for Quenching/Hardening/Tempering/Normalizing... More tools from steel (setting the 'stage' for more...) Lots more! [Bugs]: That's a players job to find Updates (0.1.2): Fixed Scythe bug Hints: I actually wrote something in the handbook (read it?) Be careful with that Carburization-Pack, its fragile! There are "tricks" to it ...certain 'Technique' Edited November 14, 2020 by Melchior version update 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EreticKB Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) M.b. using a Forge instead a firepit? Also, how about create full ferrous metallurgy with some eras? For example: 1. Bloomery era -> weak iron, worse than bronze, bellows for bloomery and forge. 2. "Triple Treat" Era -> carbonizing, hardening, temper. Still iron, but slightly better than bronze. This "three treats" can and must be used for any other types of iron and steel. 3. "Stuckofen" era -> iron+pig iron (mostly useless in this era, but can be casted into some useful). Stuckofen demans mechanical power for operations. 4. "Blauofen" era -> more steel-iron bloom (need many forging, but you can create Damascus/Bulat steel (best steel for weapon) from it or reforge into low-quality wrought iron with lesser working) and pig iron from same quantity of ore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulat_steel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_steel 5. Pig Iron Finering era -> Blast Furnace, finally, creating wrought iron from pig iron. Still worse than steel, but can be "mass" produced unlike damaskus/bulat steel. I think that in game we don't need advance finering metods such puddling and other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finery_forge 6: Basic Oxigen Steelmaking era -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_oxygen_steelmaking Steel! Steel! Steel! Basic steel slighty worse than damascus/bulat for weapons, but can be "mass" produced. With some soft and carbonized wrought iron and many works can be forged into the hi-quality damaskus/bulat.

Julius van Vern Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Great work. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorthal Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) I like this mod, but i have no idea how to get better temper than brittle. Also can't get stainless steel. btw when i try to make boards with steel saw game crashes Edited September 27, 2020 by Thorthal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrafn Rune Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Game crashes when trying to use a steel scythe on grain. Otherwise great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
