Ores are left behind after Template:L certain varieties of Template:L. Ore can be Template:L to create Template:Ls of pure Template:L or combined to create Template:Ls. Many ores are quite valuable as mined without being refined, and a Template:L or Template:L can work them the same as any stone. However, ores fall into the Template:L category, and so must be designated for non-restricted use in the z-Template:L menu. Others can be combined when initially smelted into alloys, while others must first be made into bars of pure metal and then those combined to create the desired alloy - see the Template:L article for details.
All ores are Template:L material. Some are also Template:L.
Note that in some cases ore Template:L (given below) and Template:L value are not the same (Bismuth, Iron ores). Alloys, too, often have a higher value than the ores/metals they are made of. In most cases furniture made from the ore is as valuable as furniture made from a pure (non-alloy) metal, while requiring one-third the raw materials and significantly less processing.
Metal ores with two possible metals listed below always create the first metal when Template:L, but have a chance of creating the second metal as well. Different rules apply to creating alloys.
Nearly all unmined ores are represented by the £ symbol. Exceptions are native aluminum, bismuthinite, and magnetite (which appear as ^, %, and ~, respectively), as well as Template:L and Template:L (which appear as £ but cannot be refined into mercury or cobalt as they would be in real life).
- (L) - occurs in large clusters
- (V) - occurs in veins
- (S) - occurs in small clusters
- 1 - Note that Template:L/Template:L does not follow all the usual rules for an ore/metal in several respects - see article for full discussion.
- 2 - Due to a bug, native platinum actually occurs in olivine as small clusters rather than veins.
