Native Platinum

Platinum is a Tier 3 metal obtained by smelting Native Platinum in a Crucible. Due to the metal's high melting temperature, it cannot be smelted in a Ceramic Vessel.

Usage

Liquid platinum can be poured into a Ceramic Mold to make unshaped platinum. Once the unshaped platinum is no longer liquid temperature, it can be placed in the crafting grid to create a platinum ingot. The empty mold will be returned to the inventory; although there is a chance of it breaking and being lost.

Creating an ingot will only work if the metal is in a solid state. The temperature will be carried over from the unshaped ingot temperature.
