Of course, for an iron age there must also be iron and not just steel, as in "Minetest Game". As a result, some recipes have been changed so that iron has to be produced first and then steel later.
You need the melting furnace, for example, to melt iron and other ores in the melting pot. There are different recipes that require different temperatures. The higher the melting tower, the hotter the flame. A height of 11 blocks above the base plate is for all recipes, but a burner with this height also requires more charcoal.
The picture on the right (click on "Plan") shows the structure of the watermill.

### TA1 mill
The watermill can be used to grind wheat and other grains into flour and then bake them in the oven to make bread. The mill must be connected to the mill wheel with a TA1 axle. The power of the mill wheel is only enough for one mill.
The mill can be automated with the help of a Minecart Hopper, so that the flour, for example, is transported directly from the mill into an furnace in order to bake bread from it.
TA1 has its own tools such as hammer and gravel sieve, but the Minecart Hopper can also be used.

### Hammer
The TA1 hammer can be used to knock/dig stone in a mine, but also to smash cobble to gravel. The hammer is available in different versions and therefore different properties: bronze, steel, brass and diamond.

### Gravel Sieve
Ores can be sifted from the gravel with the gravel sieve. To do this, click on the sieve with the gravel. The sifted gravel and ores fall out below.
In order not to stand at the sieve for hours, sieving can be automated with the hopper.

### Hopper
The hopper from the "Minecart" mod is primarily used for loading and unloading Minecarts. He sucks in items from above and passes them on to the right. Therefore, when placing the hopper, pay attention to the direction of dispensing.
The hopper can also pull items from boxes (chest), provided the box is next to or on the hopper.
The hopper can also put items in boxes if the box is next to the hopper.

### Gravel seven with the hopper
With the help of two boxes, two hoppers and a gravel sieve, the sieving process can be automated. The plan on the right shows the structure.
Make sure that the boxes are "chest_locked", otherwise someone will steal the valuable ores from the box below.
TA1 has its own metal alloy meridium. Meridium ingots can be made with the coal burner from steel and mesecons crystals. Meridium glows in the dark. Tools made of Meridium also light up and are therefore very helpful in underground mining.
