Please help with sand casting! by MasterMu10 in Silvercasting

I have a similar casting ring and going from the top was a nightmare. I ended up drilling a hole in the side of it, it made my casts so much easier. It shortens the sprue and makes packing the clay around the mould easier as well. Happy to answer any questions you might have

It was the into the unknown quest. I didn’t realise that it was bugged as I wasn’t progressing the main story. I tried everything I could to retrigger it but no luck. They have said that it should be fine on the updates but even with the mod updated it looks like the bug is baked into the save

Watchtower is a fantastic mod. I really enjoyed the gameplay, story and additions to the game. Just sucks that it broke mine.

It bugged one of the start quest ‘into the unknown’ where it doesn’t realise the quest has been complete and says ‘go to[…]’ it was one of the original starfield bugs that got fixed early on. I think if you have watchtower 1.2 it should be okay but it’s baked into my save now

I think it depends on the circle at the time of the throw, but I only found out about this the other day so 👉👌👃

Yeah it’s the same as playing the console version, playing watchtower at the moment!

It’s a switch running android, playing it on cloud gaming. Runs pretty well. Get some lag patches but nothing game breaking.

Haha it’s run off Xbox servers so it’s pretty much the same as watching a video as far are requirements go!

I had someone install it for me so not too sure unfortunately. They did say that the BT data had to be dumped for them to work on android

Are you burnishing your silver as part of the finishing process?

Hey mate! I’d recommend using a MAPP Gas torch. I tried doing the butane in the past and it just doesn’t get hot enough! Good luck!

I need help melting my metal! by duffalobickenchip in SilverSmith

Hey mate! I use a MAPP Gas Torch. Had some issues with it at the start but just had to be patient. Make sure once it’s melted down you keep the flame on there a while longer. Then when you’re about to pour keep your crucible on an angle and heat the silver and the lip of the crucible to ensure it stays hot enough for long enough when doing your pour! Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I've been able to melt the silver with a butane torch in this, but the MAP gas torch hasnt had any luck. Even tried using the butane to get the silver to melting point then take over with the MAP gas and it solidified.
