every time i buy ingots they never appeare and i cant do anything in the game

[Scar]

they come down on the lift, next to the purchase bench, normally takes 1m to appear, you can view this by checking the book.

once you get the ingot put coal in smelter, then grab some tongs, but ingot in, when it glows, put it on anvil using tongs, then whack it with hammer, repeat until done, take sword over to grinder, grind it, then assemble the hilt at the hilt station

that should be enough for you to skip tutorial

NO, M_P is right the ingots don't appear after you buy them there not in the lift and ive waited for 5 mins, multi loads and save restarts. Haven't even got to play. I understand this game is early development but its unplayable. I'm frustrated, if these game had been more money I would ask for a refund. Also the arrow is in the ceiling when it tells me to put the ingot in the furnace. I think I cut my loses and for get about this game.

[Markus]

it's true. the same happens to me ... I'm very disappointed with this game, wait a lot and then it does not work

[Scar]

[CoolGuy#7]

Ive had customers ask for damascus and still buy plain iron weapons. It seems that the only time i dont have anything for them to buy is when they want i higher quality weapon made with something better than iron. I have had customers ask for cheap weapons with magic and have sold them plain iron weapons but when they ask for good weapons with magic i dont have anything to sell them because i dont have anything made with something better than iron.

thats strange, i had an iron sword upon the wall when they asked for damascus but nothing

I haven't had an issue with the ingots not appearing, but I have had plenty of issues with the game holding you hostage from playing. Iron will not heat up enough to forge, and people seem to think that offering less than the crafting cost of the cheapest sword over and over is OK (ignoring the costs of coal and your time)... that is, when people even show up in the first place. Waited for 30 min (REAL TIME), got 3 knocks on the door, each time it was the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ letter. When someone finally showed up, they offered 106 gold for "a sword" (since you can't actually PICK which one you want to sell to them) but both swords I had in stock cost 150+delivery to even get the COMPONENTS for (again, ignoring the costs of coal and TIME).

Very much hoping the game fixes its broken economy and sales system soon as it is currently unplayable.

Did they ask for a cheap sword with damascus or a decent sword with damascus? That appears to be the difference as far as i have noticed so far. When they ask for a decent blade, i cant sell them one(i guess iron is cheap). When they ask for a cheap blade, i can sell them a regular iron sword.

Ingots indeed did not appear if you play in low FPS. The problem is solved in patch 1.01.

The first smelter can heat to 1000 degree maximum. Iron forging temperature more than 1000. To forge it, you need to buy a Smelter 2

What if I threw in some iron unknowingly?

That's really odd, I've never had a customer offer so little for a sword. Maybe you overheated the ingot? That seems to have the biggest negative impact on the sell price. I always pull my ingots out about 20 degrees below the maximum temperature just to be safe. Another way to tell if you might have overheated the sword is if the hammering meter in the upper left says "Done" all across the board but the blade still looks like it isn't finished. Also you can check the little box that pops up when you toss a sword on the wall to sell. One of the items in the list is the heating quality.

As Heaven Brotherhood said you need a level 2 smelter to be able to work with iron, which can be bought from the town, in the "Interior" section. I would suggest getting an Alchemy Table first however, as even bronze Damascus blades sell for a pretty decent chunk of change (right around 400 gold) and will help you get the level 2 smelter a bit faster. Oh and don't forget to get the level 2 thermometer as well so you don't overheat your iron!

Hope all this helps. Happy forging!

If you toss an iron ingot into the level 1 forge it'll heat up but you won't actually be able to work with it as it won't get hot enough to become malleable, so really nothing happens. Just cool off the ingot in the water barrel, then either get a level 2 forge or get some bronze to work with instead.

Happy forging!

Buddy I'm still getting that problem to this day.
Yeah I'm really necroing a thread, but I'm frustrated at seeing that kind of comment.
first off, my game is running smooth as butter surprisingly at easily a good 60 fps.
And yet I spend the gold
Ingots don't appear
and instead I just am left with frustration.
I don't much appreciate it.
