Silent Gear Metalworks guide for All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.1 to 2.0.2

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide

Silent Gear Metalworks is in this pack at version 1.21.1-1.5.0. The sources here include no guidebook and no platform description for the mod, so everything below comes from the pack's mod list and quest book.^[1]

What you'll see most is casts. The pack's Silent Gear quest chapter is a long run of quests, and each one asks you to get a cast for a different tool, weapon, armor piece or accessory. Every one of them comes after a quest called Casts, so that's your starting point in the chapter.^[2]

What the casts are for

The quest text helps you pick what to make first. The Sword Cast is for the basic sword, with reliable damage and reliable speed. The Dagger Cast gives low damage but very high attack speed, and it reduces the target's invincibility time.^[2]

• Knife Cast: higher durability than a dagger, but lower damage and speed.^[2]
• Katana Cast: more damage than a sword, but slower.^[2]
• Machete Cast: slightly faster than a sword, but lower damage.^[2]
• Spear Cast: less damage than a sword, but longer reach.^[2]
• Paxel Cast: the quest title calls it Pickaxe + Axe + Shovel.^[2]
• Hammer Cast and Excavator Cast: the quests title these 3x3 Mining and 3x3 Digging.^[2]

The Tip Cast is for the Tip Upgrade, which raises a tool's mining level. The quest's example is an Iron Pickaxe with a Diamond Tip Upgrade, which lets it mine Obsidian and gives it a stat boost.^[2]

Beyond the casts

The mod also adds the Uru Metal Block. It turns up in the Productive Bees chapter, in the quest "Uru Metal Bee" quest, where you pour Molten Uru over an Unobtainium Bee Spawn Egg.^[3]

Unverified Whether the ATM Star path uses this mod is not shown in the sources here. Check the pack's quest book to see how the Silent Gear chapter connects to the rest of it.

Silent Gear Metalworks adds the casts you need to make Silent Gear tool parts in this pack. The mod's own tooltip says that all metal and gem tool parts require casting in a foundry from Productive Metalworks, so the casts come first.^[4][5]

Every cast has its own casting recipe, and the recipe dump marks each of them as changed by the pack. Use the recipe blocks below instead of anything you remember from the mod's defaults.^[5]

What to make first

The Silent Gear quest chapter has quests for the casts, each one unlocked after the Casts quest. Here is the order I would go in, starting with the basics.^[6]

1. Start with the Tool Rod Cast. Its quest, a quest in "Silent Gear", is called "Your own Handle!", so this is the cast for the tool rod.^[5][6]
2. Next, make the cast for the tool you will use most. The Pickaxe Cast (quest a quest in "Silent Gear"), Axe Cast (quest a quest in "Silent Gear") and Shovel Cast (quest a quest in "Silent Gear") cover the basic digging tools.^[5][6]
3. Add the Sword Cast for combat. Its quest, a quest in "Silent Gear", describes it as the basic sword with reliable damage and reliable speed.^[5][6]
4. Then make the Tip Cast to upgrade a tool's mining level (quest a quest in "Silent Gear"). The quest's example is an Iron Pickaxe plus a Diamond Tip Upgrade made with 1 Diamond. That lets the pickaxe mine Obsidian and gives it a stat boost.^[5][6]

Once the basics are covered

After that, you can pick up the specialty casts as you need them. The quest descriptions give a quick idea of how each tool plays:^[6]

• Dagger Cast: low damage, very high attack speed, and it reduces the target's invincibility time.^[5][6]
• Katana Cast: more damage than a sword, but slower.^[5][6]
• Spear Cast: less damage than a sword, but longer reach.^[5][6]
• Machete Cast: slightly faster than a sword, but lower damage.^[5][6]
• Hammer Cast and Excavator Cast: the quests for these are named "3x3 Mining" and "3x3 Digging!".^[5][6]
• Paxel Cast: the quest sums it up as Pickaxe + Axe + Shovel.^[5][6]

Armor and jewelry have casts too: Helmet Cast, Chestplate Cast, Leggings Cast and Boots Cast, plus Ring Cast, Necklace Cast and Bracelet Cast. Ranged tools and extras such as the Bow Cast, Crossbow Cast, Slingshot Cast, Fishing Rod Cast, Shears Cast and Shield Cast each have a cast as well.^[5][6]

The sources show this mod adding molten fluids, casts and Uru Metal items. The melting, casting and alloying that produce them are all Productive Metalworks recipe types that output this mod's items.^[4][5]

Molten fluids

The mod registers a molten fluid, with a bucket item, for a long list of metals and gems. Examples are Molten Ruby, Molten Azure Silver, Molten Azure Electrum, Molten Blaze Gold and Molten Uru Metal. The same list includes Crimson Steel, Tyrian Steel, Black Diamond, Opal and many other gems.^[4]

Melting

Melting uses the item_melting recipe type. The dump counts 96 of these recipes that produce this mod's fluids, covering 28 different fluids. A further 6 melt GeOre items into 3 different fluids.^[5]

Dusts of azure silver and azure electrum each melt into 90 of the matching fluid. The pack changed both recipes.^[5]

90× Molten Azure ElectrumChanged by the pack

Item Melting (productivemetalworks)

• any azure electrum dust

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:melting/dusts/azure_electrum

Pack-changed melting recipe.

Ruby from GeOre melts into Molten Ruby. A ruby block gives 400 and a single shard gives 100. The pack changed both recipes.^[5]

400× Molten RubyChanged by the pack

Item Melting (productivemetalworks)

• Block Of Ruby GeOre

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:melting/geore/ruby_block

100× Molten RubyChanged by the pack

Item Melting (productivemetalworks)

• Ruby GeOre Shard

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:melting/geore/ruby_shard

Alloying

Some of the mod's fluids are made by combining other molten fluids, using the fluid_alloying recipe type. In this pack, the recipes for Azure Electrum, Blaze Gold and Uru Metal have all been changed. Azure Electrum and Blaze Gold each produce 90 of their fluid per craft, and so does the Uru Metal recipe.^[5]

90× Molten Azure ElectrumChanged by the pack

Fluid Alloying (productivemetalworks)

• 360× any molten azure silver
• 100× any molten ender
• 180× any molten gold

90× Molten Blaze GoldChanged by the pack

Fluid Alloying (productivemetalworks)

• 200× any molten blaze
• 90× any molten gold

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:alloying/molten_blaze_gold

The Uru Metal alloy is the most involved of the three. It mixes fluids from the Allthemodium family with Tyrian Steel and a few other fluid tags. The pack changed this recipe, so what you see here is the pack's version.^[5]

90× Molten Uru MetalChanged by the pack

Fluid Alloying (productivemetalworks)

• 90× Molten Allthemodium
• 90× Molten Unobtainium
• 90× Molten Vibranium
• 180× any meat
• 180× any molten heavy core
• 90× any molten tyrian steel

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:alloying/atm/molten_uru_metal

Uru Metal can also come from a melting recipe whose id points at a Productive Bees comb. It yields 10 Molten Uru Metal, and the pack changed it.^[5]

Casting

Casting uses item_casting for items and block_casting for blocks. The mod adds a cast item for most Silent Gear part types, such as the Axe Cast and Arrow Cast, plus Pickaxe, Sword, Bow, Helmet, Ring and many others.^[4][5]

The casts themselves are made by casting too. The dump counts 34 item_casting recipes that turn a Silent Gear item and a fluid into one of this mod's items. The Arrow Cast and Axe Cast recipes are examples, and the pack changed both.^[5]

Arrow CastChanged by the pack

Item Casting (productivemetalworks)

A second group of 33 item_casting recipes produces both one of this mod's items and a Silent Gear item. The Uru Metal arrow heads and axe head recipes are written out in the dump, and they are unchanged mod recipes. Each lists a Uru Metal Ingot and the Silent Gear part as results. The axe head recipe uses 270 molten Uru Metal, three times the 90 of the arrow heads one.^[5]

Arrow HeadsMod recipe

Uru Metal ingots and blocks

Casting an Uru Metal Ingot takes 90 of molten Uru Metal. Casting a whole Uru Metal Block takes 810, which is exactly nine ingots' worth. The pack changed both casting recipes.^[5]

Progression with Silent Gear Metalworks in this pack has two parts. First you collect casts for the Silent Gear parts you want, which the Silent Gear quest chapter walks you through. Then you climb a chain of molten alloys that ends at Uru Metal.^[5][6]

Step 1: The casts

Every quest in the Silent Gear chapter sits after the Casts quest, and each one asks you to get a single cast item. There is a quest for each cast, from the Sword Cast and Pickaxe Cast to armor casts like the Helmet Cast and Boots Cast. Jewelry and ranged weapons are covered too, including the Ring Cast, Necklace Cast, Bow Cast and Crossbow Cast.^[6]

In this pack, every cast is made with an item-casting recipe that the pack changed. Each one uses the matching Silent Gear part, so the sword cast uses the sword blade. Here is the sword cast as an example.^[5]

Sword CastChanged by the pack

Item Casting (productivemetalworks)

• Sword Blade
• 360× any molten steel

Recipe id: sgearmetalworks:casting/sword_cast

Every cast recipe in the pack takes molten steel together with the matching Silent Gear part.

Which cast to pick first

The quest descriptions give quick hints about what each cast is for:^[6]

• Sword Cast: the basic sword, with reliable damage and reliable speed.^[6]
• Dagger Cast: low damage but very high attack speed, and it reduces the target's invincibility time.^[6]
• Knife Cast: higher durability than a dagger, but lower damage and speed.^[6]
• Katana Cast: more damage than a sword, but slower.^[6]
• Machete Cast: slightly faster than a sword, but lower damage.^[6]
• Spear Cast: less damage than a sword, but longer reach.^[6]
• Hammer Cast (quest title "3x3 Mining") and Excavator Cast ("3x3 Digging!") are the area-mining options.^[6]
• Paxel Cast: the quest calls it Pickaxe + Axe + Shovel.^[6]
• Tip Cast: the Tip Upgrade raises a tool's mining level. The quest's example is putting a Diamond Tip Upgrade on an Iron Pickaxe so it can mine Obsidian, which also gives a stat boost.^[6]

Step 2: The alloy ladder

Past the casts, the mod adds molten metals and gems. Melting recipes in the pack turn dusts into molten forms such as Molten Crimson Iron, Molten Azure Silver and Molten Tyrian Steel. They also do this for many gems, including Molten Ruby, Molten Sapphire and Molten Topaz. The pack changed all of these recipes.^[5]

The alloys are made with fluid-alloying recipes, which the pack also changed. The order runs Molten Crimson Steel and Molten Azure Electrum first, then Molten Tyrian Steel, then Molten Uru Metal at the top. The recipes are shown below.^[5]

270× Molten Crimson SteelChanged by the pack

Fluid Alloying (productivemetalworks)

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:alloying/molten_tyrian_steel

Step 3: Uru Metal

Uru Metal is the top of the chain. The pack has its own alloying recipe for it under an ATM-specific recipe id, so this is the pack's version, not a mod default.^[5]

90× Molten Uru MetalChanged by the pack

Fluid Alloying (productivemetalworks)

• 90× Molten Allthemodium
• 90× Molten Unobtainium

• 90× any molten tyrian steel

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:alloying/atm/molten_uru_metal

Once you have molten Uru Metal, you can cast it into an Uru Metal Ingot, an Uru Metal Nugget or an Uru Metal Block. The casting recipes are shown below.^[5]

• 10× any molten uru metal

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:casting/nuggets/sgearmetalworks/uru_metal

The Productive Bees chapter has a quest that uses this: "Uru Metal Bee" quest, Uru Metal Bee. Its description says to pour molten Uru over an Unobtainium Bee Spawn Egg. The quest's tasks list an Uru Metal Block alongside several Productive Bees items.^[7]

Silent Gear Metalworks ties Silent Gear into the Productive Metalworks casting setup, and it also reaches into a few other mods in this pack. Everything below comes from in-pack recipes and quests.^[5][6]

Silent Gear and Productive Metalworks: casts for gear parts

The core link is casting. In this pack, a Silent Gear part such as an Axe Head is cast together with molten steel to make the matching cast, here the Axe Cast. This is a Productive Metalworks item-casting recipe that the pack changed. The same pattern covers the other tool, weapon, armor and jewelry parts in the recipe dump.^[5]

Axe CastChanged by the pack

Item Casting (productivemetalworks)

• Axe Head
• 360× any molten steel

Recipe id: sgearmetalworks:casting/axe_cast

Part plus molten steel makes the cast.

Going the other way, a separate gear-casting recipe turns the cast back into the Silent Gear part. Both directions are changed by the pack.^[5]

Axe HeadChanged by the pack

Sg Gear Casting (sgearmetalworks)

• Axe Cast

Recipe id: sgearmetalworks:casting/silentgear/axe_head

The cast gives you the part.

The same pattern applies to the Tip Upgrade and Tool Rod, which use the Tip Cast and Tool Rod Cast.^[5]

Silent Gear quest chapter

The Silent Gear quest chapter has quests for the casts, and each one comes after the Casts quest. For example, a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Tip Cast, and its text says the Tip Upgrade raises the mining level of a tool. a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Katana Cast and describes the katana as hitting harder than a sword but slower.^[6]

Uru Metal: Allthemodium, Silent Gear and Productive Metalworks

Molten Uru Metal is made with an alloying recipe that the pack changed. This is the link to Allthemodium: the recipe below works with the molten forms of its metals, Molten Allthemodium, Molten Unobtainium and Molten Vibranium.^[5]

90× Molten Uru MetalChanged by the pack

• 90× any molten tyrian steel

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:alloying/atm/molten_uru_metal

Once you have the molten metal, Productive Metalworks casting turns it into solid items. The pack changed both recipes. An Ingot Cast gives you an Uru Metal Ingot, and a Nugget Cast gives you an Uru Metal Nugget.^[5]

Productive Bees

"Uru Metal Bee" quest in the Productive Bees chapter is called Uru Metal Bee, and its description says to pour Molten Uru over an Unobtainium Bee Spawn Egg. Its tasks accept one of several Productive Bees items, such as a bee cage or a spawn egg, plus an Uru Metal Block.^[7]

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide

Silent Gear Metalworks shows up in two quest chapters: a big "Silent Gear" chapter built around casts, and one quest in the "Productive Bees" chapter that uses Uru metal.^[2][3]

The Silent Gear chapter

Every quest here comes after the chapter's "Casts" quest, and each one has a single task: get the matching cast item. Nothing in the chapter sets an order between the cast quests, so once you've done "Casts" you can take them in any order you like.^[2]

Several quests also explain what the tool or weapon does. Here they are, grouped by type.^[2]

Melee weapons

• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Sword Cast. The quest says it makes the basic sword, with reliable damage and speed.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Dagger Cast. The quest describes the dagger as low damage with very high attack speed, and says it reduces the target's invincibility time.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Knife Cast. The quest says the knife has higher durability than a dagger, but lower damage and speed.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Katana Cast. The quest says the katana does more damage than a sword, but is slower.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Machete Cast. The quest says the machete is slightly faster than a sword, but does lower damage.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Spear Cast. The quest says the spear does less damage than a sword, but has longer reach.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Trident Cast.^[2]

Mining and utility tools

• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Pickaxe Cast, a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Axe Cast, and a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Shovel Cast.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Paxel Cast. Its quest title describes it as a pickaxe, axe and shovel in one.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Mattock Cast.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Hammer Cast (titled 3x3 Mining), and a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Excavator Cast (titled 3x3 Digging).^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Prospector Hammer Cast, a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Sickle Cast, a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Shears Cast, and a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Fishing Rod Cast.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Tool Rod Cast.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Tip Cast. The quest explains that the Tip Upgrade raises a tool's mining level. For example, an Iron Pickaxe with a Diamond Tip Upgrade can mine Obsidian and gets a stat boost.^[2]

Ranged weapons and shield

• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Bow Cast, a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Crossbow Cast, and a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Slingshot Cast.^[2]
• a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Arrow Cast, and a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Shield Cast.^[2]

Armor and jewelry

• Armor: a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Helmet Cast, a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Chestplate Cast, a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Leggings Cast, and a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Boots Cast.^[2]
• Jewelry: a quest in "Silent Gear" asks for the Necklace Cast, a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Ring Cast, and a quest in "Silent Gear" for the Bracelet Cast.^[2]

The Productive Bees chapter

"Uru Metal Bee" quest (Uru Metal Bee) is the other quest that uses this mod. Its description says to pour molten Uru over an Unobtainium Bee Spawn Egg. It has two tasks. The first accepts any one of several Productive Bees items: a configurable honeycomb, a configurable comb, a configurable bee spawn egg, a bee cage or a sturdy bee cage. The second asks for the Uru Metal Block. It unlocks after another quest in that chapter.^[3]
