coke bug

[Rosen Ritter]

why coke can only heat up each metal once, if i fail the temping and put it back, it remain at 1700 degrees just can't heat it up more than that. did anyone have the same problem like i do?

Pretty sure that's just a time limit rather than one of the game's (unfortunately many but mostly small) bugs. The furnace stays at certain temperatures for a while, but after a time it'll gradually cool down to a lower "tier" of temperature, and then stay there for a while as well.

I haven't played in a good while, but I believe max coke heat only lasts a handful of minutes before it starts cooling down to coal's maximum heat. Coal's max heat lasts a comparatively decent amount longer from what I remember.



P.S. Once per second, the furnace alone adds a tick of +10 temperature, but using the bellows adds an extra tick for each use, so be sure to constantly use it to attempt to beat the clock. Just be careful of the ingot color; one of those "many bugs" I mentioned refers to bellow usage not adding to an ingot's brightness after it reaches the point of changing color. So if you were to keep using the bellows at max speed (a.k.a. once per second) while it's glowing for example, it'll end up being about twice as hot as it actually looks. Keep that in mind as you (re)heat your stuff though and you'll know when to stop based solely on the forging temperature ranges of your metals (because metals only begin to glow once they reach their minimum listed temperature).

But yeah, sadly, learning about the bugs is half the battle of the gameplay. For example, failing tempering probably isn't your fault, but the game's. Something about physically making contact with the oil with the pliers themselves after dropping the blade in causes the timing to bug out. One workaround to avoiding that bug is to just physically hold your blade in the oil without actually clicking to drop it in. The other is to click the oil vat from a far enough distance that your pliers don't physically touch it, though this obviously takes a bit more effort than the first method (but would allow a few seconds of multitasking if you're so inclined).

Luckily, to my knowledge the only game-breaking bugs come from using the gambling minigames (I highly advise you not to buy them on a file you care about, or if you do/did so, never take the offers to use them), the rest have workarounds.

yes, i do realize that the color doesn't change when i pressed the key for like over 100 times with that blue alendoor it melting... thank you very much. i guess i will have to live with those bugs. started to get bored about it anyway. lol.
