New Ores
Graphite can drop shards, flakes, or lumps

Crucible
Crucibles can be crafted using 7 graphite flakes
Crucibles have a 9-slot inventory
Filled Cruciibles can be smelted in a furnace
The result will have updated contents
The inventory will now contain the alloy
Alloy Smelter
The alloy smelter can be crafted using stone and graphite lumps
The alloy smelter works like a crucible and furnace combined, and multiple of the same alloy can be created at once.
The temperature will drop if fuel runs out.
