Obtaining

Pig Iron is a tier 3 metal that can be obtained by smelting iron ores in a Blast Furnace.

Iron Ore
Hematite	Limonite	Magnetite

Usage

Smithing

Liquid pig iron can be poured into a Ceramic Mold to make unshaped pig iron. It takes 100 units of pig iron to completely fill an empty Ceramic Mold. Once the unshaped wrought iron is no longer liquid temperature, it can be placed in the crafting grid to create a wrought iron 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.

Pig Iron Ingots are worked on an Anvil to make:

High-Carbon Steel Ingot
