The Ceramic Ingot Mold is a fired clay mold for casting metal ingots. Molten iron or steel is poured into it to make an Iron Ingot or a Steel Ingot.
An ingot holds a lot of metal, so each cast is a big pour. The ceramic mold is the easiest ingot mold to make. Iron and steel ingot molds do the same job but need metal first.
The mold comes from firing a Clay Ingot 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 Ingot pours twelve crucibles of iron into it. It burns twelve pieces of charcoal and needs a pair of tongs. A Simple Forge or better furnace is enough. The result is one Iron Ingot.
Cast Steel Ingots does the same with twelve crucibles of steel at an Advanced Furnace. Cast Steel Ingot from Iron turns twelve crucibles of iron into a Steel Ingot. It adds eighteen Coke and eighteen Limestone at an Advanced Furnace.
An Iron Ingot Mold or Steel Ingot Mold can replace the ceramic one in the first two recipes. Cast Steel Ingot from Iron takes only the ceramic or the steel mold.
Ingots are the largest standard stock in Blacksmithing. They are worked at the forge into heavier pieces.
How to Get Ceramic Ingot Mold
The recipe Fire Clay Ingot Mold makes it. It takes one Clay Ingot 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 Ingot Cast Mold at a Hand-Operated Press.

Notes
- The in-game tooltip warns that the mold will break if used for Blacksmithing crafts.
- One ingot needs three times the iron and charcoal of a bar cast in a Ceramic Bar Mold.
- Keeping spare molds by the furnace avoids a stop between pours.
