An alloy usually improves on the properties of its components to give more uses or increased value. To place a depot use Template:K-Template:K, press Template:K when positioned properly, and choose three items of raw material to make it from. (One special metal becomes wafers instead of bars.) It is sometimes combined with other materials to form an alloy metal, which is also measured by the bar. Just using the lead smelting reduction factor for gold would mean gold nuggets should weigh 907 (38*23.86). Metal is a material extracted from ore at a smelter, turning the ore into bars of pure metal. That doesn't match my intuition about gold nuggets, which is of course based on movies and not science. And since you get one gold bar weighing 38 from smelting a gold nugget weighing 1352, the gold smelting reduction factor is much higher, 35.58, implying that a gold nugget is much less pure gold than a galena boulder is pure lead. Raw adamantine has to be processed at a craftdwarfs workshop by a dwarf with the Strand Extractor labour enabled, which turns it into adamantine strands (which. Since you get one bar of lead from a galena boulder, which weighs 525, there's a smelting reduction factor of 23.86.

Praised for being realistic, the game makes sure that its Dwarf Fortress metal ores and the metals they produce when smelted. File listings for file IDs 10461 - 16147 could only be partially recovered. Long story very short: the site database was lost, the server didn't have automated backups like we thought, and the database had to be rolled back to one from 2015 (yes, I know). EDIT: A quick search suggests that simply way too many values are expecting a u8 when theyre actually an i32, such as VASCULAR and PAINRECEPTORS. So instead of fixing the format you could just set a max weight of 999 for any one item. DFFD Recovery announcement posted by Janus on Nov 21, 2022. Uh, on the topic of the image: it says it expects a u8, but its actually an i32.You can use negative values without issue, even, and I have. In the trade display gold the weight format is not wide enough and the weight value (1352) runs into the sale value (90) and overwrites the dwarf-bucks symbol.Īnyway 1352 is unreasonably large given that anvils weigh only 78 and the entire caravan's weight capacity was 3100.
