Doesn't Bauxite contain Aluminum Oxide? That means we should be able to somehow get Aluminum out of it. Unless the historical aspect of the game means that the dwarves do not have thhe technology to do high-temperature electrolysis.

Electrolysis is used to seperate the atoms in good old Real Life. I suppose this could be implemented in the alchemist's lab (cos sometimes soap just isn't enough for those crazy scientists), but it could (and probably would have to by popular demand) branch out into a whole new game mechanic for electricity.--[[User:Warlordzephyr|Warlordzephyr]] 15:54, 4 March 2009 (EST) | Electrolysis is used to seperate the atoms in good old Real Life.

Given the in-game value of aluminum (same material value as platinum, at a fraction of the weight) and its rarity (small clusters), allowing it to be extracted from bauxite would probably be game-breaking. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 13:15, 16 July 2009 (UTC) | Given the in-game value of aluminum (same material value as platinum, at a fraction of the weight) and its rarity (small clusters), allowing it to be extracted from bauxite would probably be game-breaking. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 13:15, 16 July 2009 (UTC) | ||

I scanned over the "EMBARK" menu in "Stone", "Metal Bars", and "Stone Blocks" and cannot find Bauxite for picking. | I scanned over the "EMBARK" menu in "Stone", "Metal Bars", and "Stone Blocks" and cannot find Bauxite for picking. | ||

As such I have removed the suggestion to embark with it from this page.[[User:Kenji 03|Kenji 03]] 12:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC) | As such I have removed the suggestion to embark with it from this page.[[User:Kenji 03|Kenji 03]] 12:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC) | ||
