AboutA Bar of Pig Iron is received when successfully Smelting Iron Ore in an Ore Smelter. A Bar of Pig Iron counts as a both Any Iron Bar and a Bar of Any Metal in recipes. A Bar of Pig Iron can be stored in a Stockbin. Iron PurityThe Purity of a Bar of Pig Iron comes from the Iron Ore Boulder the Iron Ore used to make it, was Chipped from. Iron Ore Boulders' get their Purity from a combination of Mine Level, distance from the ramp, and chance. Iron Purity will transfer directly onto Fish Hooks, Knife Blades, or any Wrought Iron Bars made from it. SmeltingThe amount Ore Metal Bars produced in your Ore Smelter is based partially on chance but mostly influenced by the Ore/Lime ratio and your Alloying Artifact Bonus. Currently, the best Ore/Lime ratio is 13x Lime and 12x Any Ore of one type. To smelt place your Lime and Ore in a lit Ore Smelter. After about 40 minutes at least one of your Ores will be replaced with a corresponding Ore Metal Bar and the rest of your Ore will have become Dross. The number of metal bars depends on the alloying artifact bonus, the smelter’s previous run, and chance. Each time a Dross is produced there is a chance for it become A Face in the Dross instead. Using a Little Limestone in place of one of your Limes may also increase the number of Metal Bars that are created. |
