Latest file for v1.20.0-rc.4:
Molds v0.1.3.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.

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.

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 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 at 3:39 PM

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

💬 Shinji170981, Nov 23rd at 12:35 PM

Maybe a metal plate mold would be nice. :)

💬 tRead, Nov 23rd at 8:20 AM

thanks!

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Nov 7th 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 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 at 8:34 AM

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

💬 Torvinoid, Nov 2nd 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 at 3:47 PM

Do you plan on adding copper plate molds?

💬 olexn, Oct 31st at 3:29 PM

Not work with red clay

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Oct 28th at 11:39 AM

DilanRona sgtmcdude Dracarius Thank you, guys! Fixed

💬 sgtmcdude, Oct 28th at 2:01 AM

Can confirm this mod is not working for me either

💬 DilanRona, Oct 27th 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 at 3:58 PM

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

💬 MrFlameAuthor, Oct 27th 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 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 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 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 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 at 9:17 AM

LeuxSeveN thank you, fixed. Sorry for so long

💬 LeuxSeveN, Aug 22nd 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 at 9:31 PM

That seems like a nice complement to More Molds.

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