The Clay Ingot Mold (Unfired) is a raw clay mold shaped like an ingot. It is the first step toward a Ceramic Ingot Mold for metal casting.
The mold is pressed from Clay on a Hand-Operated Press. A Wooden Ingot Cast Mold gives it its shape. Firing it in a kiln then hardens it into a mold that can take molten metal. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The unfired mold has one job. The Fire Clay Ingot Mold recipe turns it into a Ceramic Ingot Mold. Firing takes something to start a fire and a log or a piece of charcoal as fuel. It works in a Primitive Kiln or an Advanced Kiln.
The fired Ceramic Ingot Mold matters for blacksmithing. Cast Iron Ingot and Cast Steel Ingots both accept it as the mold. Iron Ingot Mold and Steel Ingot Mold do the same job, but a ceramic mold can be made from clay alone. That makes it the usual first mold for a smith with no metal stock yet.
How to Get Clay Ingot Mold (Unfired)
The Press Ingot Mold recipe makes it. It takes one Clay and a Wooden Ingot Cast Mold, which is kept. The work is done on a Hand-Operated Press. One wooden mold can press any number of clay molds.
