Cast Nails Mod

Description
Craft your own nails with utensils, pan, and heating source!

Ever run out of nails and wanted to craft your own nails? Now you can by following theses steps!

1. Get your frying pan, add any combination of 4 spoons, forks, or butter knives to get a frying pan with cast iron. You can empty out this frying pan just like any others, but be warned, you will not get your utensils back!
2. Find 1 stone, 1 chipped stone, and hammer or stone hammer to craft stone mold of nails. You will keep your hammer and chipped stone.
3. Place your frying pan with cast iron in any heatsources such as campfire. After it heats up a little, you will get an option to "cast nails" with stone mold of nails in your inventory. Each "cast nails" will give you 10 nails.

I made this made after a VERY unlucky run where I could not find nails to save my life. When I searched for nails crafting mod, I couldn't find any other than hydrocraft, which I hear is an excellent mod, but personally complicated the game too much for someone like me. I simply copied the mechanic where you can basically "boil" the bandage into sterilized bandage in the base game, altered a few things, made 2 new icons, and this is what I got. I know melting utencils such as spoons or butter knives this way is kind of weird, but is the best I can do without getting too complicated.

This is my very first mod, so let me know if there are any bugs you encounter during your game!

This is funny because after instaling this mod I can't find any pan :)
Not a single pan in the whole community buildings xD

yeah its a good mod, it's creative :)
i once saw a youtuber also make a mold (using playdoh/plasticine) and he melted some lead (i think) or cheap cutlery (tin) and made knuckle dusters :)

Hi all, I've been away from Steam for a long time due to real life, but surprised to hear that this silly little mod still works even after all the update since 2019. If I get back to PZ, I may add other recipes to create nails.

@Gas.Pimienta, go ahead!

i see what you mean, lead will melt with not that much heat, but the mod is still useful :)
