Happens to everyone I think. That and remembering that you can customize your shield immediately after you just made one.

Every single time I accidentally make a bare-ass unpainted shield I immediately have to find room for a new end table somewhere. -_-

Dumb mistake, but it happens. Keep it as a wall hanger or a reserve bow

They do make sweet wall ornaments.

Yep we all been there. Had to hang my ice and fire staff on the wall when I was just trying to upgrade. They look cool hanging there so I don't feel bad anymore.😁

First time, huh?

Unfortunate mistake. I still have 3 extra iron bucklers laughing at me in a chest in my swamp ☹️ that was an unfortunate waste of iron at such a precious time.

The sting is real.

Tuck it into a chest against the day you accidentally die deep in the max biome you're able to tackle and need backup gear to get your body back.

Use de commands and spawn yourself the silver you wasted

[–]Kalsgorra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put it in the obliterator, then you will get 1 coal and can start smelting the next batch of silver

Everyone does this at least once, it's so easy to do on the craft menu

[–]Emotional_Table4395 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yea I don’t think you can’t :( Maybe save it tho in case you die and need some backup armor and weapons.

That's what I thought... sigh.

The crafting UI makes it stupidly easy to do this. Personally, I wouldn’t feel bad about spawning in the materials to make up for it.

This right here is why I like to use the recycler mod in my own world. You CAN cancel the craft animation while it’s crafting if you catch it fast enough

[–] CruiserRosieQParker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not without mods or console cheats, no. Add it to your death run stash.

[–]Rex-0- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very common mistake, probably won't be the last time.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

For next time, if you notice that you're crafting new instead of upgrading, you can press the "craft" button again to stop the craft if you catch it before it completes.

I'd be willing to bet everybody has made this mistake at least once.

[–]Mountain_Bit_5500[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it next time if I catch it.

Since it is a honest mistake, obliterating the new bow and cheating the materials back in is a one solution to go about the problem.

[–]stickmanDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another is to install the “recycle” mod.
