==== Nanotechne ====
Nanotechne (last part pronounced 'tek-nee') is metal infused with symbiotic nanomachines that let the wielder shape it into a variety of useful forms, from simple plates of metal to complex machinary. Its is used for transcendense programs where the users make tablets wich one they use to transform in something else or for adquire some perk. Nanotechne can be found to higher or lower densities in the megastructure, so, most of civilizations smelts the boulder left behind the mining to found a bit of nanotechne to breed it by  feeding it with the various metals found underground. But deeper you go, the more dense is the nanotechne and the multiple horrors who lure around it.

In addition to producing it by feeding it metal, you can also scavenge it by butchering mechanical creatures, which will yield blocks of nanotechne or other metals. Any creature with metal body parts should suffice.

<del>Note that nanotechne can be produced from any type of metal, so if you don't pay attention your citizens will use nanotechne to make more nanotechne, which actually reduces the amount you have. Make sure you properly designate what metal you intend to make nanotechne from.</del>

For comparison, view the [[DF2014:Metal#Weapon and armor quality|base game metals]]. Grade-M is identical to steel except for max edge and it is unclear how that affects calculations.<br>

The material qualities of the metals affect the calculations that occur in combat for a variety of different attacks with a different type of attack being countered by a different resisting characteristic.
* '''Impact''' measures the resistance to blunt attacks.
* '''Compressive''' measures the resistance to pinching and strangulation attacks.
* '''Tensile''' measures the resistance to latched-on tearing attacks.
* '''Torsion''' measures the resistance to latched-on blunt attacks.
* '''Shear''' measures the resistance to cutting attacks.
* '''Bending''' measures the resistance to joint locking attacks.

Each characteristic is further broken down to form a series of setpoints:
* '''Yield''': the force at which the material will begin to deform.
* '''Fracture''': the force at which the material will completely break.
* '''Elasticity''': how much the material will deform once the yield point is exceeded.

Likewise, offensive capabilities are also determined by material properties:
* '''Max Edge''' measures the offensive cutting ability.
* '''Density''' measures the severity of offensive blunt impact.
