Solidified metal in a crucible displays 2400 degrees baking temperature instead of whatever the metal is #4360

Description

If you have solidified metal in a crucible it will display a baking temperature of 2400 degrees, and no melting temperature displayed for whatever metal is in it. The baking temperature is useless since it's already baked, and it would be far more useful to show the melting temperature. It almost gives the impression you need to heat the crucible to 2400 degrees to melt the metal!

How to reproduce

Have any solidified metal in a crucible, then mouse over it.

I believe it is needed to allow to reheat crucible, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to reheat without that "2400" thing in tooltip

The 2400 is the 'smelting' temperature of the crucible itself. To best of my knowledge this is a code issue, not something I can fix via json.

I have the same issue in version 1.20. I tried to melt tin, but for some reason, the metal solidified in the crucible, and now it won’t melt. Tin has a melting point of 232°C, and I heated the crucible up to 1300°C, but nothing happens.

Are you sure? When you heat solidified metal in a crucible the crucible never goes into the output slot for some reason, but if you mouse over it you can tell when it's melted.

My issue is just a display problem, nothing related to yours. If you can reproduce it and you're sure it's not melting, then you should open a different issue.

It doesn’t show the melting point; instead, it shows the baking temperature of 2400°C. I suspect that the metal isn’t melting because the system assumes its melting point is 2400°C, rather than the actual value, which should be different.

Yes, that's what my issue is about, and it's a display problem. The real melting point is the same melting point as whatever material you have in the crucible. Like I said, please check to see if it's melted by mousing over it.
