(Removed reference to Zinc being a good wood alternative. It is only 10% lighter than Iron and 6 times heavier than bloodthorn, with the barrels and bins weighing in at over 100 kg.)

Wikipedia article

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

Zinc is an uncommon, low-value metal primarily useful in the creation of alloys. It is smelted from sphalerite. Note that, unlike sphalerite itself, refined zinc is not magma-safe, or even fire-safe, and will melt in a grass fire.

Zinc may be combined with other metals at a smelter to form the following alloys:
