Metal Blowpipe
A metal blowpipe is an alternative to the TFC+ ceramic blowpipe, which can be used to craft glassware using glass knapping GUI. It cannot be used increase the airflow of forges.
Brass blowpipe and Wrought iron blowpipe can be crafted from a brass sheet and wrought iron sheet respectively on an appropriate anvil. Both metal blowpipes are functionally identical.
To use a metal blowpipe place it into the output slot of a crucible containing sufficient amount of molten glass and allow it to fully fill up, draining 100 units of molten glass from the crucible. Remove the metal blowpipe from the crucible when ready.
Alternatively, you can right click a crucible containing molten glass while holding a empty metal blowpipe to fill it up instantly. If you right click the crucible again, the glass will be returned from the metal blowpipe into the crucible. Be aware that the returned glass will have cooled down and it might need some time to heat up and become liquid before it can be taken out again. A TFC+ ceramic blowpipe can interact with a crucible in the same way.
Right click while holding a metal blowpipe with glass to open the glass knapping GUI.
Draw the desired pattern by left clicking on the 5x5 molten glass grid. When the pattern matches a valid recipe, the resulting item will appear in the output slot and molten glass will be consumed from the metal blowpipe.
Metal blowpipe can also accept molten glass from a small vessel.
Metal blowpipe can be used to craft TFC Glass Bottles and various Drinking Containers made out of glass.
TFC glass bottle can be crafted using the following knapping pattern.
- Molten glass is consumed only if and when a valid recipe pattern has been drawn.
