The Steel Bar Mold is a heavy steel form for casting metal bars. Molten metal poured into it sets as a solid bar.
It serves three casting recipes. Cast Iron Bar makes an Iron Bar, Cast Steel Bar makes a Steel Bar, and Cast Steel Bar from Iron makes a Steel Bar straight from molten iron. The mold is kept after every pour, so one mold serves a whole smithy.
The mold is a very rare find in garage storage and storage units. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Cast Iron Bar pours four uses of molten iron from a crucible into the mold. It takes four charcoal and a pair of tongs. The work happens at a Simple Furnace or better and gives one Iron Bar.
Cast Steel Bar does the same with molten steel at an Advanced Furnace. Four uses of steel and four charcoal make one Steel Bar.
Cast Steel Bar from Iron is the most demanding pour. It takes four uses of molten iron, six Coke and six Limestone at an Advanced Furnace. The result is a Steel Bar. Only the Ceramic Bar Mold and the Steel Bar Mold work for this recipe.
The Ceramic Bar Mold and Iron Bar Mold fill the same role in the first two recipes. The Steel Bar Mold is the one metal mold that also handles the iron to steel pour.

Notes
- The mold is kept after every cast.
- It is one of only two molds that can cast steel straight from molten iron.
- Tongs and charcoal are needed for every pour.
- The mold is heavy, so it is best left beside the furnace.
