Latest file for v1.20.3:
Molds v0.1.7.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.
  11. Mold for shears.
  12. Mold for sawblade.

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.
11) Форма для ножиць.
12) Форма для полотна пили.

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)...?

💬 AHelplessBaby, 5 days ago

anyone else have an odd bug where the ingots cast with the 8 and 4 molds don't stack with ones cast from the single mold?

💬 MrFlame , Feb 2nd at 9:54 AM

Ototinho Initially, this was the intention: only bronze and brass plates are used in this craft. But in general, I don't see a problem with adding an iron one. The fix is already in, have fun:3

💬 Ototinho, Feb 2nd at 3:58 AM

i noticed a bug that when making the 4 ingots mold you can't use iron plates on the recipe

💬 Ototinho, Feb 1st at 10:49 AM

thanks! 😀

💬 MrFlame , Feb 1st at 10:34 AM

Ototinho Okay, you've convinced me. I've added a 1 plate mold, so have fun:3

💬 Ototinho, Jan 31st at 6:43 PM

maybe just a single plate mold would be balanced, since there would be a reason for using the hammer stll for mass production and you could still make some plates in the early game. also, there are people who struggle with mechanical automation and anvil usage, so an alternative would be nice too (i'm not one of these people XD) so I'll change my suggestion to a only 1 plate mold. Maybe using fireclay too to be a bit harder to get.

💬 MrFlame , Jan 31st at 9:10 AM

Ototinho I understand that you really want to cast absolutely everything, we have already had such requests, but I want to explain the logic again. An auto hammer in a vanilla game can do 2 things perfectly: forge plates and beat off iron bloom. It can't forge tools and weapons (without mods), so I made molds to make it more... vanilla. If we can mass-cast plates as well, then there will be less need for a hammer (and thus less need for mechanization). The second reason is that I'm customizing this mod for my server. I'll think about it, but I'm a little skeptical, so if you convince me, I'll work on the plate molds.

💬 Ototinho, Jan 31st at 6:57 AM

could you make a mold and bulk molds for plates too if possible?

💬 MrFlame , Jan 29th at 1:32 PM

JimmyMac done, have fun :3

💬 JimmyMac, Jan 29th at 5:14 AM

any chance of adding a mold for the sheers and saw blade?

💬 MrFlame , Jan 21st at 10:56 AM

Thank you, ElusiveEnigma . Glad you like it and I`m always open for your feedback.

💬 ElusiveEnigma, Jan 21st at 5:19 AM

Thank you for the mod and keeping it updated! The arrowheads especially were driving me up a wall, and I am looking forward to using this in my server as other mods are coming online again. Will report back if we run into anything!

💬 MrFlame , Dec 15th 2024 at 11:01 AM

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!

💬 MrFlame , 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

💬 MrFlame , 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

💬 MrFlame , 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

💬 MrFlame , 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.

💬 MrFlame , 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.

💬 MrFlame , 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!

💬 MrFlame , 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
