How do i smelt ores?

[Pepsi Man]

can't figure it out

make a furnace in the crafting menu. Clint should have given you the blueprints to build a furnace. Once you have a furnace built, you'll need 5 pieces of the ore you want to smelt and 1 piece of coal.

With a furnace. Clint gives you the blueprints the day after you first discover ores; you'll find it in your crafting tab in the menu. You'll need 5 ores and 1 coal to smelt ores.

Clint should give you the blueprints in a cutscene the day after you add 1 copper ore to your inventory. You need to exit the house the next day between 6am and 11:30 am to get the cutscene. That's what the wiki says.

It shouldn't matter where you got the ore. If he hasn't shown up, collect some more ore I guess and hope he shows up the next day.

You probably done the same as me and got your ore through fishing and scratched your head haha.
You have to go to the mine and mine ore before it will trip Clint coming to your house the next day. Hope this helps.

That might be the problem. The mines are in the mountain lake area. Go past Robin's house, then north, and across the bridge and into the cave. The bridge is blocked for the first few days of the game. You'll get a letter in the mail when Joja Mart fixes it.

I think I've triggered Clint's cutscene by digging up copper from the "worms" (dig spots), but I don't recall exactly.

For Clint's event to give you the furnace plans to trigger, you need to get a piece of ore via mining a rock or cracking a geode. Clint will arrive at your house the following morning. Getting ore from fishing or purchasing it doesn't trigger the event.

I came upon this thread while looking for the requirements for Clint to show up.

I'm posting in it now because someone might do the same and end up with unclear or misleading information in previous posts.

First, the wikis:

I can confirm that the official wiki is wrong: obtaining a Copper Ore is not sufficient.
I can confirm that the bad wiki is wrong: going to the Mines is not sufficient.

I can confirm that obtaining Copper Ore from Fishing will not meet the requirements.
I can confirm that obtaining Copper Ore from a Geode will not meet the requirements.

I can confirm that dropping and grabbing Copper Ore (or taking it one by one from a chest) is not sufficient to meet the requirements.

Next test is to drop Copper Ore in the Mines and grab it again to see if it counts as "ore obtained in the mines".

If it doesn't, looks like absolutely it has to be mined out from the Mines.

Alternatively, it's possible that finding Copper Ore in a worm tile might meet the requirements, but I can't reliably test for that.

Hopefully a future player will find this thread when searching for the information and I will have spared them all those tests.

I think i remember him showing up from either that or geodes. something pre-mining standard farm event at least.

maybe i hoed the dirt (artifact spot) and got copper ore.

You must have, because copper ore from fishing and geodes most definitely don't work.

Finding copper ore from a worm tile is indeed sufficient; I usually wait 'til Winter to go in the mines, so worm tiles is where I get all my copper ore before then, and Clint shows up in the first week of Spring. (Admittedly, I am using a mod to increase the number of artifact spots, but it shouldn't be affecting Clint's behaviour.)

Indeed, the number of worm tiles should have absolutely no effect on the requirements for Clint to show up with the blueprints.

Interesting bit of information. I guess there's something about picking up Copper Ore that was in an object that makes it act differently than getting it from a loot window (be it fishing, geode or chest). Programmers are strange, strange people.

I wanted to do a "no Mining" run, but if I have to wait on a worm tile that has Copper Ore just to get the Furnace Blueprints... that just won't do. Too long, too RNG-dependent. I'll just go grab a single Copper Ore from the Mines and destroy it the next day.

Thanks for the info.
