Wikipedia article

This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Lay pewter is an alloy that cannot be smelted directly from ore; it can only be created from bars of metal, at a smelter, using the following recipe:

Lay pewter has a base value of 3, which would make it preferable over its ingredient metals for creating objects of value, since all of its ingredients have a value of only 2. However, with the same ingredients (in a different formula) you get more value from making trifle pewter or, better still, bronze or fine pewter, and using lead as-is (separately).

Lay pewter is notable for producing bars, furniture and crafts that appear in-game as teal-colored, a color shared only by clear glass and spore tree wood. (In the Steam/Premium version, the items are pale grey instead of teal.)

Technically (i.e. "in real life"), lay pewter is trifle pewter that has been cut with lead; it is less valuable, but you get more of it.
