Meaning every beeswax stacks yields two ingots.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">The melting point of the wax is 64 C<strong>&deg;</strong> or 147.2 F<strong>&deg;</strong>.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">Due to the low melting point, it is recommended to keep the wax at the lowest temperature possible while smelting it, otherwise, it might take a long time for the ingot to solidify.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">Beeswax ingots can be stacked, stored or chopped back into usable wax in the crafting grid.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">The beeswax obtained from chopping down ingots can be used like regular beeswax in recipes or smelted back into ingots.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://moddbcdn.vintagestory.at/beeswaxrecipe_a02805efe8c118c40b36837a3e93cdc1.png" alt="https://moddbcdn.vintagestory.at/beeswaxrecipe_a02805efe8c118c40b36837a3e93cdc1.png" width="290" height="185" /></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">&nbsp;</p> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle">Known Issues</div> <div class="spoiler-text"> <p>There are some issues with this mod but it's only client sided stuff and none are game breaking.<br /><br />Most notably, there is a rendering bug where if an ingot full of hot beeswax shatters, the shapes of the shattered ingot that represents the metal may not render and throw an error in the client logs.<br />The cause of this issue is unknown to me and i've tried and spent way too much trying to figure out why it was happening. Worst part is that it sometime works in certain worlds and sometime doesn't in others which baffles me.<br />I talked about it in details on the <a href="https://www.vintagestory.at/forums/topic/15320-inconsistent-and-unpredictable-shattered-ingot-mold-texture-rendering/">forums</a> and <a href="https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/5727">issue tracker</a> but so far I haven't had any luck. If you have an idea as of why this is happening, i'd be very pleased to hear about it on one of those pages.<br /><br />Another things that i think is important to point out is that the effects of the beeswax being poured into the mold is gonna sound exagerated for the temperature at which it is because the game assumes it molten metal and there's nothing i can do about that unless i make it a code mod. You also hear a metallic sound effects when taking the ingots from the mold.</p> </div> </div> <p><br />Translation available for English, French and Spanish.
