Usage
Welding
Flux is required in the anvil in order to weld Ingots into Double Ingots, Metal Sheets into Metal Double Sheets and for moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2 in the smithing of Armor.
Blast Furnace
In order to process iron ore, the blast furnace requires an equal amount of flux for each individual ore piece to be thrown in at the same time.
History
| Beta | ||
|---|---|---|
| v1h | Limestone, dolomite, chalk and marble can be turned into flux. Recipe is hammer + cobble | |
| v2 Build 7 | Flux will now be used when welding | |
| v2 Build 15 | Fluxes should again use the correct rock types | |
| v2 Build 17 | Borax can now be used as a flux. It yields 6 flux. | |
| v2 Build 26 | Flux can now be processed from borax using a Stone Hammer, however the hammer will be lost in the process | |
| 77.6 | The Blast furnace now properly only accepts ore at a 1:1 ratio with flux. It will no longer suck up any ore unless there is flux present as well. | |
| 77.10 | Should be possible to place a stack of flux in an anvil now. | |
| 78.0 | Fixed shift clicking of flux into an anvil to do the whole stack instead of just one. | |
| 82.0 | Removed heated gypsum as a source of flux. The ability to do this was a bug. | |
