Casting Boxes

Casting boxes are structures used to form metal into various shaped goods, such as pots and gears. All casting boxes run on charcoal and require beeswax in addition to metal for each item made.

• A Student's Casting Box requires 24 boards, 200 firebricks, 400 bricks, and 1,200 sand to build. It then takes 100 charcoal to fire, eats 80 initially and 1/minute each minute thereafter.

• A Master's Casting Box requires 24 boards, 200 firebricks, 400 bricks, 50 rope and 12,000 sand to build. It then takes 600 charcoal to fire, eats 250 initially and 2/minute each minute thereafter. Some products can only be made on a Master's Casting Box.

• An Ancient Forge cannot be built, and only one exists (it can be found on an island in Sinai). It takes 1000 charcoal to fire, eats 400 initially and 1/minute each minute thereafter. Ancient Automaton parts can only be made on the Ancient Forge.

Casting a product requires the appropriate amount of metal and of beeswax for the mould. The casting box must remain lit until the project has cooled or it will be ruined.

All the cooling times are Teppyminutes, not real minutes.
