Smelting Ore Results
All ores smelted alone have a % chance of turning into a certain kind of bar. The following table shows those chances.
| Ore | Iron | Gold | Silver | Copper | Nickel | Zinc | Platinum | Tin | Bismuth | Lead | Aluminum | Adamantine |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hematite | 100% | |||||||||||
| Limonite | 100% | |||||||||||
| Magnetite | 100% | |||||||||||
| Garnierite | 100% | |||||||||||
| Platinum Nuggets | 100% | |||||||||||
| Gold Nuggets | 100% | |||||||||||
| Silver Nuggets | 100% | |||||||||||
| Horn Silver | 100% | |||||||||||
| Galena | 50% | 50% | ||||||||||
| Tetrahedrite | 20% | 80% | ||||||||||
| Copper Nuggets | 100% | |||||||||||
| Malachite | 100% | |||||||||||
| Sphalerite | 100% | |||||||||||
| Cassiterite | 100% | |||||||||||
| Bismuthinite | 100% | |||||||||||
| Aluminum | 100% | |||||||||||
| Adamantine Fibers | 100% |
Note that galena smelted alone often produces lead which is only used in producing lay pewter, a low quality ore.
Coke Smelting
Please note that wood is not actually smelted, it is burned in the wood furnace. It is not called coke when burned, it is called charcoal.
Flux
Flux is that stuff you use to get the impurities out of steel. There are 5 kinds of flux: Calcite, limestone, dolomite, chalk, marble. All function the same way so if you see flux in a recipe, any will do.
Alloys
There are 2 sets of recipes for alloys. The first set use only ore while the second set use only bars. You cannot mix the two.
Recipes using Ore
Please note that when copper or silver ore is needed, any type of ore that produces copper bars or silver bars may be used. This means that you can actually make billon bars out of just tetrahedrite.
| Ingredient 1 | Ingredient 2 | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Copper ore | Cassiterite | Bronze bars[2] |
| Copper ore | Sphalerite | Brass bars[2] |
| Gold nuggets | Silver ore | Electrum bars[2] |
| Copper ore | Cassiterite[3] | Fine pewter bars[4] |
| Copper ore | Cassiterite[2] | Trifle pewter bars[3] |
| Silver ore | Copper ore | Billon bars[2] |
Recipes using Bars
The following are all the recipes when smelting bars at the smelter.
| Ingredient 1 | Ingredient 2 | Ingredient 3 | Ingredient 4 | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper bars | Tin bars | Bronze bars [2] | ||
| Copper bars | Zinc bars | Brass bars [2] | ||
| Iron bars | Coke | Flux | Pig iron bars | |
| Iron bar | Pig iron bars | Coke | Flux | Steel bars [2] |
| Gold bars | Silver bars | Electrum bars [2] | ||
| Copper bars | Tin bars [3] | Fine Pewter bars [4] | ||
| Copper bars | Tin bars [2] | Trifle pewter bars [3] | ||
| Copper bars | Tin bars [2] | Lead bars | Lay pewter bars [4] | |
| Copper bar | Nickel bars [2] | Zinc bars | Nickel silver bars [4] | |
| Silver bars | Copper bars | Billon bars | ||
| Silver bars [3] | Copper bars | Sterling silver bars [4] | ||
| Gold bars | Silver bars | Copper bars [2] | Black bronze bars [4] | |
| Gold bars [3] | Copper bars | Rose gold bars [4] | ||
| Copper bars [2] | Tin bars | Bismuth bars | Bismuth bronze bars [4] |
Note: Every recipe that is not used in steel making requires some copper. If you want to have a variety of metals in your fortress, you will want to conserve this resource.
A spreadsheet listing these recipes can be found at the following link. Work is being done currently to allow a person to input how much ore and bars he has, and the sheet will tell him how many of what kinds of metals he can make. Both Excel and Open Office formats are included: http://mkv25.net/showcase/df/Ore%20Smelting%20Chart.zip --Chthon 10:11, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
