Gathering Ore

There are currently two stone-age methods of gathering ore, running around and looking for them as items on the surface, or by using a Gold Pan.

To make a single metal tool head you will need to collect 10 pieces of small, copper-bearing ore:

If you wish to make bronze¹ tools, you can follow the alloy recipe and replace some of the copper ores with the following:

¹ Note: Only metals that have the word bronze in their name are considered bronze.

Other metals made out of the above ores that do not have bronze in their name, such as Brass, Rose Gold, and Sterling Silver are not bronzes or copper, and therefore cannot be made into tools.

Smelting

Note: The Vessel can only smelt ores.

If you have turned your metals into ingots, you will need to heat them in a forge to liquefy them, or use a Crucible if you plan on making alloys.

Copper

A Ceramic Vessel can be used to smelt Native Copper, Malachite and Tetrahedrite ore into pure molten copper metal.
