• ¹For compatibility reasons, double ingots, sheets and double sheets can be made from any metal. However, not every item has a valid use. This chart shows items which have a valid use in vanilla TFC+. If you make a useless item, it can be recycled back into molten metal in a Crucible, or in a Forge that has ceramic molds in the side slots.
• ²Unknown Metal is created by mixing an incorrect ratio of metals in a Crucible.

Obtaining

With the exception of wrought iron, pig iron and steel, non-alloy metals are obtained via smelting the source ore in a Vessel or a Crucible. Ores cannot be smelted in a forge.

Wrought Iron

Wrought Iron is obtained by working an Iron Bloom that has been created in a Bloomery.

Input	Work Type	Output	Notes
Raw Iron Bloom >= 100%	Refine	Refined Iron Bloom	Work on at least a Tier 2 anvil. Raw iron blooms that are less than 100% must be refined, and then welded with another refined bloom to make a larger bloom.
Refined Iron Bloom 200%	Split	Refined Iron Bloom 100% x2	Only needed for blooms over 100%. If starting bloom isn't a multiple of 100%, it will split into as many 100% blooms as possible as well as a single bloom with the remaining %. For example: A 360% bloom will split into 3 100% blooms and a single 60% bloom.
Refined Iron Bloom 100%	Hammer	Wrought Iron Ingot
Refined Iron Bloom <100% x2	Weld	Refined Iron Bloom	Weld 2 < 100% refined blooms to make one larger bloom. If the resulting bloom is over 100% it must be split into a 100% bloom and a <100% one. The smaller bloom can be welded with another one following the same process.

Note: Forges and Crucibles cannot get hot enough to melt refined iron blooms without the use of mechanized bellows.

Pig Iron

Pig Iron is obtained by smelting the source ore in a Blast Furnace.

Steel

Blue/Red Steel start from the alloy recipe melted in a crucible. It will show as Weak Blue/Red Steel in the crucible.
Weak Red Steel Ingot Black Steel Ingot	Weld	High Carbon Red Steel Ingot

Alloys

Alloys are created by mixing base metals in a Crucible. Early-game Bronzes can also be obtained by smelting a combination of source ores in a Vessel. See Pottery for more info.

Casting

Item tool head can be casted from a Vessel with more than 100 units of a valid metal in it's liquid state or from a full liquid Unshaped ingot. Right click to open the casting UI and place the mold in the valid slot.

Place the ingot in the leftmost slot and your Ceramic Tool/Weapon Mold in the center slot. The arrow will progress and you will end up with your filled tool/weapon mold on the right, and if it didn't break, the empty ceramic mold on the left.

The Unshaped ingot interface can be use for combining partially filled ingot molds (both molds must be at liquid temperature).

Place the filled mold in a crafting grid to remove the head. The empty mold will be lost in the process.

Smithing

See Anvil page for information on smithing metal.

• ¹The armor making process need 3 steps. 1- hammer the sheet with the righ plan, 2- weld with a new sheet (same type), 3- hammer. See Armor for detail.

Crafting

Ingot

To unmold any kind of unshaped ingots, they must be at any non-liquid temperature.

The ingot can be crafted back together with the Ceramic Mold if you wish to reheat it in a Forge to liquid temperature.

Anvil

Double Ingots can be used to make an Anvil.

Bloomery

The Bloomery is made from 8 bronze, bismuth bronze or black bronze double sheets, but all the double sheets must be of the same type.

Blast furnace

The Blast Furnace is made from 8 Wrought Iron Double Sheets and a Crucible.

Minecart

Using 5 wrought iron sheets, a minecart can be crafted in TFC+.

Note: This is a temporary recipe and may be changed or removed in future versions.

Minecart Rail

Using 4 wrought iron ingots and 2 sticks, minecart rails can be crafted in TFC+.

Note: This is a temporary recipe and may be changed or removed in future versions.

64

Powered Rails

64 Powered Rails are made from 4 gold ingots, Redstone Dust, and sticks.

64

Flint & Steel

Flint & Steel can be created using wrought iron, or steel ingots in TFC+.

Note: TFC+ Flint & Steel behaves the same as a firestarter, with more durability. It cannot create nether portals like its vanilla counterpart.
