      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Gold/Platinum-Filled Greatweapons (and particularly, Au/Pt mace)

5 posts in this topic

Someone said that they would want to bash skellies to the ground in one hit. Then a thought hit me,"Hey, Dwarf Fortress had artifact gold maces. They need to be in TFC." So.... that?

 

The way that I envisioned is you craft  5 clay with a fired weapon mold and get the appropriate fill shape. After that, craft the unfired mold with the respective weapon/head to make the filling mold. Then you fill it with 75 gold/plat and take out the filling. Next, craft 8 clay with the filling to create the great weapon mold. Fill it with 225 metal and take it out. Weld it with the filling and work it once(punch not last, bend not last, hit last) to nail the hollow weapon to the filling. Now you have a great sword/maul. Wanna one hit skellies? Make a platinum-filled (at least black?)steel great maul.

 

For the gold mace, just smith one. However, I'd like it to have gem studs (as a requirement to be used and) to make it fancier.

v1

Added clay fill

Added clay weapon-core mold and the ceramic counterpart

Added heavy metal great weapon cores

Added great weapon blade mold and the ceramic counterpart

Added great weapons (sword/maul)

 

v1.1

Great weapons uses a lumber instead of a stick as the handle.

Cool, Gold is a very soft metal though, so to make it less overpowering you should make its durability lower.

Very neat idea, maybe also lead could be used as a mace "core"?

Yeah, that's what I meant. The great weapons have their blades and cores manufactured separately. So you could have a red steel greatsword with gold fill. 

 

Lead is an interesting choice too. The more the density, the better, so I think lead can be used for mass producer that don't have gold.

I don't think you should make swords using this method, as manufacturing one would be difficult and isn't necessarily a big improvement, and I'd stick to maces and, perhaps, hammers?
