Ingot Mold

[Spoopy Owl]

So I like having my slave make weapons out of Moraka or Loha ore. But, I find the nature of going to the mining pass and hopeing RNG blessed me with some spawns of them and not Khanka and Gold in the one spot it spawns is draining. I'd love to see just an ingot cast of some kind where we can make ingots of various weights like the blade bar ingots to store for them to use, so I can make my own alloys and just store them for my workers, or myself to remelt later if I need. A similar system is already in place with the handles where they use the smallest length possible if you pre-cut the handles for them, why not have a way to pre-measure ingots of ore for them to use as well?

Ogo has been talking about adding this in the coming update.

So if understand correctly I can't save some ingots to melt it later at my leisure based on new weapons I'm creating ?

Correct. Not yet at least. Possibly an ingot mold is coming in the next update, as Nenacu mentioned. Best you can do currently is melt and pour extra parts. You don't have to hammer them all out. They will get stored in the Chest and on the crate near the raw ore pieces at the end of the day. In the Chest goes the Pommels and guards and on the crate go the weapon pieces(hammered or not). But those parts won't be used by your slaves.

They get stored before hammering them out? Or only if I hammer them? Storing weapon parts after molding, even though would waste more coal, still seems like a good solution to store melted ore

They get stored even if not hammered. The weapon pieces even look like ingots :) You are right that it's a way to store melted ore.

You can also partially hammer them out. I've done that with blade pieces before. Hammered them out into straight pieces. In that case they get stored as long thin pieces.

yeah, it's definately a time saver when building something yourself. but, like you said in your other post

is the main crux of the problem. I hate replying on RNG in the mines to get enough ore for them to use, I'd just love to have one slave mining gold, one on cila, then make a bunch of Moraka ingots for my slaves to make weapons with.

That would be ideal.

I am interested to see if we get an ingot mold in the next update. It was mentioned back in December that they were planning to add them.
