Crucible Furnace
Adds a sealed crucible and crucible furnace structure to allow the smelting of steel.
Description
This mod aims to implement the crucible steel process developed in the 1740s by Benjamin Huntsman.
This process allows for the smelting and casting of steel using steel/blister steel bits and ingots.
While beyond the time setting of Vintage Story, I feel the actual materials and processes needed to complete the firing process are within the game specific lore setting.
This mod adds 5 components necessary to complete the crucible steel process.
Raw Crucible Lid
Crucible Lid
Sealed Crucible
Crucible Furnace Door
Crucible Furnace Multi-block Structure
Fires into a crucible lid.
The crucible lid is used to create the sealed crucible.
Only a fireclay crucible can withstand the high temperatures necessary to smelt steel.
The crucible needs to be buried in coke, so it must be sealed with a lid.
To create a sealed crucible, place an empty fireclay crucible on the ground and right click it with steel or blister steel bits or ingots. Up to 600 units of steel can be added. If using blister steel, you will also need to add one of the following flux materials:
1x Powdered Borax
3x Crushed Quartz
6x Lime
To reclaim any materials, simply break the crucible.
Once the desired amount of steel (and flux material) is added, right click the crucible with a crucible lid. A sealed crucible is created.
The structure of the crucible furnace is as follows:
# = Fire clay bricks
C = Crucible furnace door
A = Air
G = Fireclay brick grating
