Can't make necklace

[Spacecraft]

So I've tried 2 gold bars of each of the sizes up until the max size, and none of them will work. I'm using them with a ruby since that matches the chalk outline. Am I doing something wrong?

have u tried placing the bars in the furnace first to heat them up?

Oh duh totally forgot about that. Thanks :D

Yes, sounds like you're missing the 'heat the bars' step.

Select outline + make bars, put bars in furnace to get hot (not in the crucible unless you want to melt them and add more gold to increase the value), put gem and hot bars on anvil, hit anvil (not items) with smiths hammer, presto! You should have your necklace or ring. Similar thing for making weapons but no gems - make bars + choose outline, heat bars in furnace, put on anvil and hammer it.

Size doesn't matter aside from the sell value, same goes for gems (also gem type doesn't matter either).

(and it was answered while I was typing lol)

Yeah already made some necklaces. Feel silly because I had made weapons before, I just forgot about heating the bars up lol. I really like that the size of the bar and gems don't matter as the value of the necklace goes up with the value of the materials. Very nice system.
