Latest file for v1.20.0:
Molds v0.1.4.zip 1-click install


The mod adds several new casting molds.

Namely:

  1. Molds for 4 and 8 ingots.
  2. Mold for a scythe blade.
  3. Mold for 2 knife blades.
  4. Mold for 2 chisels.
  5. Mold for a wrench.
  6. Mold for a spearhead.
  7. Mold for nails and strips.
  8. Mold for 9 arrowheads
  9. Chain ring mold and craft of mail cloth.
  10. Mold for 4 chutes.

Also, whole ingots can now be placed in the crucible.

Casting chain rings and crafting chainmail fabrics greatly simplify their creation. BUT the price of this "simplification" is one and a half times more metal consumption and significant wear on your hammer. You might save time, but not materials:3

Using a watering can on these molds does NOT speed up metal cooling as it does with vanilla molds. This is likely hardcoded into the game, sorry about that. If I find a way to fix it, I definitely will.

Mod authors: MrFlame (idea and mod implementation), UA_Shaman (code, some mold shapes and bug fixes).

Plans:

  1. Mold for 4 ingots.
  2. Chain mold
  3. ...?

Мод додає декілька нових форм для лиття.

А саме:
1) Форми для 4 та 8 злитків.
2) Форма для леза коси.
3) Форма для 2 лез ножів.
4) Форма для 2 зубил.
5) Форма для гаєчного ключа.
6) Форма для наконечника списа.
7) Форма для цвяхів та планок.
8) Форма для 9 наконечників стріл.
9) Форма для кольчужних кілець і крафт кольчужного полотна з них.
10) Форма для 4 жолобів.

Також тепер в тигель можна помістити цілі злитки.

Лиття кольчужних кілець та крафт кольчужних полотен дуже спрощує їх створення. АЛЕ ціна цього "спрощення" - це в півтори рази більше витрат металу та значне пошкодження вашого молота. Можливо ви і виграєте в часі, але не в матеріалах:3

Полив лійкою на ці форми НЕ прискорює остигання металу, як у ванільних форм. Скоріше завсе це зашито в код гри, вибачте.
Якщо знайду як це виправити - неодмінно зроблю.

Автори моду MrFlame(ідея та виконання моду), UA_Shaman(код, деякі форми та виправлення помилок).

Плани:
1) Форма для 4 злитків.
2) Форма для кілець кольчужного полотна
3)...?

Bobosaw At first, I thought it was a bad idea, because in reality, red clay is not suitable for metal smelting. But when I saw that in 1.20 in vanilla you can make molds out of red clay, I thought, “Let it be.” Well, now you can

💬 Bobosaw, Nov 25th 2024 at 5:45 PM

If possible, could you make these molds work with other clay types like Red Clay? Thank you! MrFlame

💬 LaBestia, Nov 23rd 2024 at 3:39 PM

Say NO to metal plate molds, they are harmful (for a healthy progression off course).

💬 Shinji170981, Nov 23rd 2024 at 12:35 PM

Maybe a metal plate mold would be nice. :)

💬 tRead, Nov 23rd 2024 at 8:20 AM

thanks!

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Nov 7th 2024 at 8:40 AM

olexn Yes, it's really my fault. BUT. I googled right now that red clay is not used for metal smelting because of its chemical composition. Therefore, everything is real :D

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Nov 7th 2024 at 8:37 AM

Dracarius I don't think it's that necessary in a vanilla game when you have auto hammer. More ingots at a time -  yes. Some tools that do not need to be forged by hand - yes. But plates can easily be forged by auto hammer - so that's a goal that needs to be achieved

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Nov 7th 2024 at 8:34 AM

Torvinoid they're made through the craft grid. See where common ingot molds are used

💬 Torvinoid, Nov 2nd 2024 at 4:47 AM

Not certain if I'm just missing something really obvious but I don't seem to have the 4 or 8 Ingot mold, those seem to be the only ones missing though. Used both blue and fire in case it mattered 

💬 Dracarius, Nov 1st 2024 at 3:47 PM

Do you plan on adding copper plate molds?

💬 olexn, Oct 31st 2024 at 3:29 PM

Not work with red clay

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Oct 28th 2024 at 11:39 AM

DilanRona sgtmcdude Dracarius Thank you, guys! Fixed

💬 sgtmcdude, Oct 28th 2024 at 2:01 AM

Can confirm this mod is not working for me either

💬 DilanRona, Oct 27th 2024 at 7:22 PM

Version 0.1.0 doesnt seem to work. Dont see any of the new molds on the server, even with creative. Using Vintage story version 1.19.8.

💬 Dracarius, Oct 27th 2024 at 3:58 PM

There may be an issue with the file structure in your latest update.

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Oct 27th 2024 at 12:04 PM

bonenaut7 I can think of a more complex and expensive variant of such a form. The problem is that having such things kills some other mechanics of the game and it's hard to find a balance here. Your localization is up

💬 bonenaut7, Oct 26th 2024 at 12:41 PM

Hello, are you planning to add mold for the plates?
And also can you please add this translation?

💬 1stSlug, Sep 3rd 2024 at 3:43 AM

MrFlame

Yeah, I did test that as well. 'Shift-Clicking' onto any 'wall face' of an adjacent block and I can place the mold just fine. It doesn't matter if it's a chest, container, anything works to help drop the mold correctly. The one place that I can't place the mold onto is the floor/ground/top face tile. Ctrl+Click, Shift+Click, Shift+Ctrl+Click or anything. Nothing works if I directly aim at the floor to place the mold. As a side note; I just want to point out, that while this bug is annoying, it isn't game breaking or too much of a hassle and honestly, it's probably some mod conflict, possibly the "More Piles" mod, who knows, so don't feel you need to rush out a fix. The mod works. I just wanted to mention I ran into this problem.

But Why2?

Also, thanks for the recipe adjustment!

Edit: Also, your molds do get cooled faster with watering cans, so you might wish to remove that comment from your description page.

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Sep 2nd 2024 at 6:34 PM

1stSlug reasonable about plate for 4-ingot mold, so changed to brass or any bronze.
About plasing of this mold. Try use ctrl+click. You use it to "not open chest", same when you place it on ground

💬 1stSlug, Sep 1st 2024 at 2:52 PM

MrFlame

Run into an issue when placing the four Ingot mold onto the ground (I haven't tried the 8-mold as of yet as I don't have enough iron X_X). For some reason, I can only place the 4 ingot mold so long as I select a wall side instead of the floor tile beneath it. Example images down below:

Also, just a small balance request if possible, but I feel that the 4 ingot mold is a tad too expensive and would be more balanced if it was any bronze (Maybe Brass?) tier plate rather than an iron plate. In my mind it should look like: 1 Ingot = Copper, 4 Ingot = Bronze and 8 Ingot = Iron. Otherwise the four ingot mold is kinda redundant as by the time you can make it, you might as well go right on ahead to the 8 ingot mold. It would also be swell, if the molds could stack for example: Single molds already stack to a max 8, four Ingot mold could stack upto 4 and eight ingot stack only 2).

Other than that, this is a great and super convenient/useful mod, thank you!

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Sep 1st 2024 at 9:17 AM

LeuxSeveN thank you, fixed. Sorry for so long

💬 LeuxSeveN, Aug 22nd 2024 at 4:44 PM

Hi ^^

the 4 and 8 ingot mold have a problem:

when you try to make a 8 ingot mold it always understands the ingrediances to mean the 4 ingot mold.

 

what I mean:
If I add the needed materials for a 8 Ingot Mold and craft with that I always get a 4 Ingot mold and the remaining Materials not used~~~

💬 Guimoute, Jul 19th 2024 at 9:31 PM

That seems like a nice complement to More Molds.

💬 LadyJade90, Jul 19th 2024 at 2:36 PM

dana tweaks has cooling molds with watering can mods.vintagestory.at/danatweaks
