How to Upgrade Gear with the Ultimate Smithing Table

Contoro’s Ores Mod introduces a strict tool progression system where standard gear cannot break advanced blocks. To bypass these limitations, you must use the Ultimate Smithing Table to level up your equipment.

Setting Up the Workstation

1. Mine the basic starter ores found underground using your standard early-game tools.

2. Craft an Ultimate Smithing Table, the primary station used to modify and enhance your equipment.

3. Place the table in your base near your storage and standard crafting stations for easy access during your mining trips.

Leveling Up Your Tools

1. Interact with the Ultimate Smithing Table to open its interface.

2. Insert your basic tools alongside materials collected from mining to upgrade them into stronger versions.

3. Upgrading your pickaxes increases their effective mining level, allowing them to break tougher blocks that previously resisted your hits.

4. Keep checking back with the table whenever you acquire rarer resources, as continuous tool upgrades are required to work through every stage of progression.
