The Ceramic Bar Mold is a fired clay mold for casting metal bars. Molten iron or steel is poured into it to make an Iron Bar or a Steel Bar.
It is the cheapest bar mold to make. Iron and steel bar molds do the same job, but they need metal first. The ceramic mold only needs Clay, a press and a kiln.
The mold comes from firing a Clay Bar Mold (Unfired) in a Primitive Kiln or an Advanced Kiln. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Three casting recipes take the mold. Cast Iron Bar pours four crucibles of iron into it at a Simple Forge or better furnace. Four pieces of charcoal and a pair of tongs are needed. The result is one Iron Bar.
Cast Steel Bar does the same with crucibles of steel. It needs an Advanced Furnace. Cast Steel Bar from Iron turns four crucibles of iron into steel. It adds six Coke and six Limestone and also needs an Advanced Furnace.
Each of these recipes accepts an Iron Bar Mold or a Steel Bar Mold instead. Cast Steel Bar from Iron takes only the ceramic or the steel mold.
Bars feed most of Blacksmithing. They are hammered into tools, blades and armour at the forge.
How to Get Ceramic Bar Mold
The recipe Fire Clay Bar Mold makes it. It takes one Clay Bar Mold (Unfired), something to start a fire, and a log or a piece of charcoal for fuel. It is fired in a Primitive Kiln or an Advanced Kiln. The unfired mold is pressed from one Clay in a Wooden Bar Cast Mold at a Hand-Operated Press.

Notes
- The in-game tooltip warns that the mold will break if used for Blacksmithing crafts.
- A spare mold or two saves a trip back to the kiln between casts.
- Clay is cheap, so the ceramic mold is a good start before metal molds are made.
