− | + | '''Ores''' are a type of [[stone]] that can be used to create [[bar]]s of pure [[metal]]s and [[alloy]]s at the [[smelter]]. Many ores are quite valuable as mined, and a [[mason]] or [[stone crafter]] can work them the same as any stone. However, ores fall into the [[economic stone]] category, and so must be designated for non-restricted use in the [[z-stone]] menu. Others can be combined when initially smelted into alloys, while others must first be made into bars of pure metal and then ''those'' combined to create the desired alloy. | |

Metal ores with two possible metals listed below always create the first metal when [[smelting]], but have a chance of creating the second metal as well. Different rules apply to creating alloys. | Metal ores with two possible metals listed below always create the first metal when [[smelting]], but have a chance of creating the second metal as well.
