You can't make the steel sludge directly at the furnace. You need to find a "Smith Table" (it's a table that's usually nearby forges and furnaces), throw the items within and then press the "Combine" slot.

After you get the sludge mixed at the table, you just need to throw it into the furnace, wait until it's molten, then throw it into the stock casting. Read the books more carefully, I know they're a bit hard to look at, but it's what we have to do.

Press combine button when you have the items in the container

You can combine in any container doesn,t matter witch one

If he got the message it means he pressed the combine button. He's just pressing it at the wrong container. Instead of combining it at the furnace, you need to combine it at the Smith Table.

EDIT: If it is as you say (which I doubt but since I never tried I won't totally refute), then I'm not sure what's the problem. Sometimes things work better if you have the skill trained (i.e. the bar should be green.)

You can combine in any container even furnace just take it out after combining and put it in furnace again.

Even in a sack, stock casting, oven, table, pan, grill etc it does not matter what you want to combine any container will work as long as it,s on the ground.

I don't trust you. But he might

[Lusserall]

Just try it drop a sack on the ground put some items in it to combine and pres combine it will work

[Sangwa]

*nods* I'll check it out later, when I have the client nearby.

Trust Lusserall he knows what he is talking about

ok when i put the items in the furnace they dont combine at all i read the book all it says is the ingredients for steel sludge not the process in making it. i have also tried stock casting that doesnt work either. ill try some other containers but it doesnt seem like it will work. whats a sack. thanks guys didnt think people would get back to me this fast.

Are you pressing the "combine" button fast enough? Sometimes it happens to me that I am too slow and the iron ore melts before I press the button.

Are you pressing the "combine" button at all?

On the image, the window on the right top. The icon between the two hands and the eye: that's what the icon "Combine" looks like and that's what you should press.

[braveborn]

wait is it the item iron ore or molten iron to make the steel sludge. and i know what the icon looks like i pressed it before i told you guys that already.

Iron ore
