This feels like a history teacher teaching her class about the history of iron production

[@Ashantin3]

Is that good or bad?

[@BoogieBrando]

​@@Ashantin3I think he means you sound like you're teaching or presenting an actual class or lecture about bloomeries lol, its actually quite engaging.

[@Ashantin3]

@@BoogieBrando Thank you.

[@TheOddApe]

One of the aspects I appreciate most about Vintage Story is the research and application of realistic mechanics without making the gameplay too heavy. Your tutorials are as comprehensive as ever 👍

[@Ashantin3]

I love it too.

[@chevy1221]

lol you have an awesome voice. Vintage Story players are truly the most sophisticated of all gamers.

[@Ashantin3]

Thank you!

@@Violetta-tm1lo I’m so glad to hear that.

[@PinkMothman]

Truly an amazingly helpful tutorial :))

[@Ashantin3]

@@PinkMothman Thank you

[@MorfsPrower]

Thanks for the guidance, this will really help now that I've already stockpiled tons of hematite and I have bloomed everything up. I guess it's time to start knocking those impurities away :)

[@Ashantin3]

Good luck with it all

Thank you for the guide and I also would like to say you have a wonderful accent.

[@Ashantin3]

Thank you! I’m English hence the accent.

Super under-rated video. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful!

[@Ashantin3]

Thank you so much.

Watch in x1.5 speed ;) Thank You Ashantin 3 for another great video :)

[@Ashantin3]

I’m loving the fact you speed my videos up.

[@Jasonmcneilphotography]

Thank you for this video. I was going insane trying to figure this out!

[@Ashantin3]

I’m really glad to help.

[@mikepondsmith6699]

Please keep making vintage story guides

[@Ashantin3]

I intend to, thanks.

[@Havok3v1L719]

Thank you so much for this information. i wouldnt have been about to go on in this game without this. Thank you!!!!!!

[@Ashantin3]

I’m delighted it helped.

[@AdamDeBeers]

I do like your Vintage Story tutorials a lot! Have a great day.

[@Ashantin3]

Thank you!

[@xurxomf]

With the in-game info is hard to learn some aspects of the game. With this video is easy to understand.

[@Ashantin3]

Thank you so much

[@leshasta9652]

Thank You!

[@wildyforce7957]

Thank you for the video, I was pulling my hair out trying to use a crucible lol

[@Ashantin3]

I’m thrilled that you found it helpful! Once you know the process it’s easy - but it’s not intuitive!

[@Dissius]

Lovely voice and very clear instructions. I am in love with this game. Liked and subscribed.

[@Ashantin3]

Thank you so much!

[@uncolored2060]

Would be nice if you could speed up the cooling process of metal in molds using water poured from watering pot (I forgot how was it called)

[@szyonmck]

Good video, nice.

[@Ashantin3]

Thanks. I have a lot of tutorial videos. Sometimes watching a video is easier than reading . Also keep asking on game play help on the VS discord. We are a friendly bunch.

[@TheInvertedCow]

You can only shift pixels if they are not covered on the outside. The side opposite of where you want to shift it has to be open. They will only climb one pixel in height. Cheers

[@Ashantin3]

Thanks. I’d forgotten that gem.

[@TheInvertedCow]

I have seen you do that before on a few videos and figured that it was a misclick or something But you were trying intentionally to do it on this one and made me wonder if it was something you did not know. That was the only reason I commented on it. Cheers

[@Ashantin3]

@@TheInvertedCow It’s something I knew once but have forgotten! Please comment. The game is so detailed now keeping it all in mind is quite difficult. All the help / reminders are so useful.

Thank you

[@larkerpudwig]

How do I find iron? What the easiest way/place to find it? I have a ton of copper but and some lead and just a little bit of tin

[@Ashantin3]

@@larkerpudwig Carry your prospecting pick with you all the time. Every cave and ruin you explore, use your prospecting pick. Start prospecting close to your base. I found iron within 100 blocks of my house after looking all over the map. Just keep prospecting.

[@larkerpudwig]

@@Ashantin3started a new world and was just getting ready to start the Iron Age, exploring a cave under my base and found probably 1000 iron I’m so excited!

[@Ashantin3]

@@larkerpudwig Brilliant! Great start.

[@non-applicable3548]

I could see myself playing this game for several years. How often have you had to restart from scrath completely?

[@Ashantin3]

@@non-applicable3548 I’ve been playing for many years and I am only on Map 5 . Not bad !

[@hgbguy]

i know this probably isn't the best place to figure this out but i think i'm having a glitch where the green outline for making the wrought iron changes when turning the wrought iron on the anvil and if i fit it to one thing is still doesn't fit the other outline thats moved over a bit when it gets turned around and im not sure which one is the actual outline if anyone knows what i can do to fix this please let me know

[@Ashantin3]

I never turn the blocks I'm forging. I dance round the anvil. I just find it easier.
