Smelting ore tutorial?

[Commander Raymond]

I cant figure this one out for the life of me, can someone help me figure out how to smelt ore? All the guides arnt in the subject im looking for and/or in russian.

It depends on what kind of ore. To make wrought iron for example, all you need is wrought iron and a hammer. If you are looking to make ingots you'll need a sand cast flask, tongs, limestone powder, carbon powder and talcum powder.

Yea but when i search the term "cast" in the crafting, nothing comes up. How do I make a cast?

This one actually took me a while too. Then, I found a old "Mossy Book" in the Cave under my house once I got bold enough to go exploring. The entry in the book was from a smithy that gave a lot of hints about how to make Ingots and "Purified" metals. After finding the book and experimenting a bunch, I finally found the solution and it felt great! Though I do admit that going over 150,000 turns (Total of two games) without knowing and being frustrated was getting pretty old. That Mossy Book was a Dev Send and my gaming experience has been changed from "Survive as much as possible on my island" TO "Omg what's the other islands like and what do they have I don't?"

yea definitly i really love the game, but being stuck in the stone age was kind of frusterating. I like learning things in games. and i have a general idea of how actual smelting works but knowing how to do it how the game wants me to do it is a different story which drove me nuts

We're going to be adding some more hints as well as some more ingredients (more ways to make a sand cast) coming up in 2.6 to help solve this a bit.
