Tinkers' Construct The Smeltery and Foundry
The Smeltery is a multi-block structure used to melt metals and create alloys. The Foundry is a specialized alternative that provides byproducts but cannot alloy.
Smeltery Components
- Smeltery Controller: The heart of the structure. Requires molten copper to craft in TiC3.
- Seared Tank: Stores fuel (Lava or Blazing Blood).
- Seared Drain: Allows fluid to flow out via a Faucet.
- Casting Table: Used with Patterns/Casts to create tool parts or ingots.
- Casting Basin: Used to cast full blocks of metal.
