      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.

Metals attributes.

15 posts in this topic

Hey, with all the various types of metals and alloys I find myself confused as to their properties with no available source of information on the subject. The wiki only has information on heat levels and tiers.

So which metals are better? What are their statistics? Is Bismuth Bronze better then normal Bronze? While we are at it we could write a Wiki article on the subject.

It's not allowed to post numbers about the game.

But it's known that Bronze is the best at it's tier, after that I think it's Bismuth Bronze.

And that each next tier will always be better. (I think)

Like Vlad said, it is a game of experimentation. Posting numbers would make it a "numbers game" as Bioxx said (or was it Dunk?), and take all the fun and experimentation out of it.

as a game dev I shall tell you these things without numbers (but you should really just experiment for yourself, thats how real peoples learn about metals :) another thing to keep in mind is that metals get better with the tiers, which sort of follow the progression of technology and metallurgy irl, which for the most part coincides with finding better metals)

Of the three starter tiers, bismuth is the worst, then zinc and then tin as the best.

Of the bronzes, bismuth bronze is so bad that bronze's 3 copper ingots still give a better value/copper ingot than bismuth bronze's two copper ingots.

Iron is better than bronze.

Steel is better than iron.

Black steel is better than steel.

Red and blue steel are the best.

Other metals currently can't make tools, but more non-tool based metal items will be introduced in the future :)

But the most critical question is still remains:

Blue or Red ??

they are entirely equal. What ever floats your boat.

This is my opinion on the matrix as well.

I'm surprised they are equal, I thought one was more durable and the other faster/stronger.
