mining animation super slow, no info/tutorial on ore smelter?

[Scar]

???????
so 3 ores to smelt, but how do i know when its done?, do i have to put coal in?, its been in therer for 15m now........

?????

There it says in the description that coal is needed (throw the bottom of the boiler) and throw 3 ores (then it starts to glow as working), then after 2 minutes click on the tap

i tried to throw coal and it didn't work?, also i press T on most things to view descr and it doesn't show descr for everything, also the heat on the ingot goes quickly to the point you have to put it back in the furnace, but its still aroound 700-850 degrees

I too have run into the same bug. I throw some coal at the bottom of the smelter with 3 ores already inside & nothing seems to happen.

it has worked for me the ore smelter but i wished once we melt 3 ore's and it gets poured it should tell us what we made or we won't know what heat temp too use

Does it have to be 3 of the same ores? I don't think I placed 3 of the same type, maybe that's why it's not working for me?

I'm kind of thinking the same thing, as I'm having the same issue as well. I put in 2 browns and a silvery one I think. Can't get the coal to go in anywhere, no matter what I try.

If we accidentally put an incompatible combination of ores, there needs to be a way to fix it, like a way to either get the ores back or a way to scrap what's in there currently. The current setup will likely piss off a lot of people that are new to smelting and don't know what ore is what.

It is no matter ores are the same or different, smelter should work with 3 ores inside. Be sure that coal is in the bottom of the smelter and after all click on the tube.

Do we have to turn on the smelter by putting the coal first then we put in the ores or it doesn't matter?

Doesn't seem to matter. I put the ores in first and the coal last on my first attempt and it worked just fine.

My first alloy sword (2 copper and 1 tungsten I believe):

Well, just tried it again with a brand new save & still the same issue. I try to toss the coal under the smelter & it just keeps bouncing off. Not sure what I'm doing wrong at this point.

Edit: I just needed to crouch & hold it out to the base of the smelter to get it working. Wished it told you that before hand.

spoiler here


Put 3 x ore stones into top of bowl - if you press the tap on the side it will give you information once you reach the correct amount which is = 3



1 / you have to walk as close to the boiler/bowl as you can on the fire side,
2 / then press "Ctrl” to crouch and be as close to the fire as it allows you can then
3 / push the coal box into the fire below the pot
4 / the coals then burst into fire and the boiler starts working
5 / there is a tap at the side that will when pressed tell you

A / if there is enough ore in
and once the correct ore number is reached = 3 the process then starts to melt the ores into molten metal
after 2 minutes you press the tap and get the option to make up a sword design for your ingot mold

once its has poured carry it to the anvil to start hammering out the new sword.

We will make mining animation faster in next patch

[CobraGuru]

well for me coal disappeared inside the smelter after I put the 3 ores .... so of course I could wait long as it doesn't heat at all :(

Bonjour, merci @Eddbanger pour son explication sur le fonctionnement de la fonderie de minerai.

Je suis sur ce sujet car, je crois que mon problème avec la fonderie de minerai s'apparente à ce sujet de discussion. Je n'ai pas voulu ouvrir un autre sujet du même problème. Ça complexifie trop les recherches, lorsqu'on y est, justement.

J'ai utilisé la fonderie de minerai avec 3 minerais de bronze, ainsi qu'une caisse de charbon et attendu le temps nécessaire, 2 minutes, jusqu'à ce qu'à l'endroit du robinet ça nous demande si on veux, oui ou non, faire fondre une barre. J'ai répondu oui.

Une fenêtre apparaît. On y voit la forme d'une lame d'épée en pointillée qui semble divisée en 4 sections (si je me souvient bien) lorsque l'on place notre curseur à certain endroits de la forme de la lame, sauf que ça ne fait rien.
Rien ne se passe.
Rien n'apparaît.
Le bouton "Continuer" ne fonctionne pas ni même celui "Effacer".
Le pire, c'est que justement rien ne fonctionne plus.
Pressé toutes les touches de mon clavier et de la souri, au cas où une touche permettrait une fonction.

Par 2 fois j'ai dû ouvrir le gestionnaire des tâches de Windows pour fermer le jeu puis le relancer et racheter la fonderie de minerai pour retenter la manipulation.
Bizarrement, l'achat de la fonderie de minerai n'avait pas été enregistré, par 2 fois aussi. Toujours sans succès et avec le même problème de ne pouvoir sortir de la fenêtre de la fonderie.
Aucunes des touches de mon clavier ou la souri ne fonctionnent.

Je trouve ce problème bizarre.
J'ai même douté de ne pas avoir assez attendu dans cette fenêtre pour couler le minerai en barre.

Quelqu'un aurait-il rencontré le même problème?
Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'aider?

Merci pour toute aide apportée.
Cordialement,
veda

PS: Ce ne pourrait être un problème en lien avec la capacité de mon ordinateur, car il est neuf et comporte: Windows10, intel core i7-9700 et carte graphique Geforce RTX2070. Je ne crois pas que le problème vienne de là.

Hello, thank you @Eddbanger for his explanation of how the ore smelter works.

I am on this subject because, I believe that my problem with the ore smelting resembles this subject of discussion. I did not want to open another subject of the same problem. It makes research too complex when you are there, precisely.

I used the ore foundry with 3 bronze ores, as well as a coal case and waited the necessary time, 2 minutes, until at the tap place it asked us if we want, yes or not, melt a bar. I answered yes.

A window appears. We see the shape of a dotted sword blade which seems divided into 4 sections (if I remember correctly) when we place our cursor in certain places of the shape of the blade, except that it does nothing .
Nothing is happening.
Nothing appeared.
The "Continue" button does not work or even the "Delete" button.
The worst part is that nothing works anymore.
Pressed all the keys on my keyboard and the mouse, in case a key would allow a function.

Twice I had to open the Windows task manager to close the game then restart it and buy the ore foundry to try again.
Oddly, the purchase of the ore smelter had not been recorded, twice too. Still unsuccessful and with the same problem of being unable to leave the foundry window.
None of the keys on my keyboard or the mouse work.

I find this problem odd.
I even doubted that I had waited long enough in this window to pour the ore into the bar.

Has anyone encountered the same problem?
Can anyone help me?

Thanks for all the help.
Regards,
veda

PS: I have a new computer and includes: Windows 10, intel core i7-9700 and Geforce RTX2070 graphics card. I don't think the problem comes from there.

The ore smelter seems to be broken, a lot in the game seems to be broken.

The particular issue with the ore smelter being that it eats ores without counting them, it can eat literally any item.

I wasted like 9 different ores and 4 coal trying to smelt a single ingot, the checklist only counted one copper ore and one tungsten ore, all the other ones apparently "vanished" inside the smelter, same deal with most of the coal when I tried to fire it up.

The only ones that count are those that trigger a small animation for going in, anything else you drop over the smelter seems to get stuck inside the model of the ore smelter, with no way to get it back.
