Foundry Mod 1.12.2, 1.10.2 (Melting and Casting with Metal)

Refractory Fluid Container:

The Refractory Fluid Contaner is an item that stores fluids inside similar to buckets. Unlike buckets the Refractory Fluid Contaner can be partially filled with fluid up to 1000 mB. Another feature is that it can interact with any tile entity. When right clicked while holding a container and looking at a tile entity it can drain from it if not holding the sneak button, or fill into it if holding the sneak button 100 mB at a time. if the container is completely empty it can pickup fluids from the world by right clicking. If the container is full the fluid can be placed in the world by holding the sneak button and right clicking.

Foundry adds metal blocks for all it’s supported metals as well as metal slabs and stair blocks. These blocks can be made in a Metal Caster with their respective molds.

All foundry Machine require energy in the form of MJ, RF, or EU (When using EU all machines can safely accept up to 32 EU/t, except the ICF which can accept up to 128 EU/t), which is converted into Energy that the machines use.

Energy ratios:

• 100 Energy = 1 MJ
• 10 Energy = 1 RF
• 40 Energy = 1 EU

Induction Crucible Furnace:

The Induction Crucible Furnace is a machine that melts items into liquid metals. This machine requires MJ to operate an can accept up to 4000 Energy/tick. When powered the heat level will begin to rise according to amount of Energy received per tick. The machine will also lose heat if not receiving sufficient power. The higher the stored heat the more heat it loses per tick. This means more energy is required to sustain higher temperatures. Once the heat level reaches the melting point of the metal the melting process starts. The higher the heat level is above the melting point, the faster it will melt. Fluid can be extracted with containers, or fluid pipes.

Metal Caster:

The caster is a machine that takes liquid metals and casts them into items or blocks using molds. This machine requires 10000 Energy to cast an item. Can store internally up to 40000 Energy.
To create a mold, craft a blank mold then place the blank mold and the item with the shape to be created in a crafting table (for example: any pickaxe + blank mold, creates a pickaxe mold). When crafting a mold the item used as a shape is not consumed. Once the mold is crafted it then needs to be hardened in a furnace.
Some recipes require extra items to cast (for example: 2 sticks are needed in the extra slot to cast a pickaxe).
