(interestingly, it looks like Hematite, Galena, Cassiterite, Native Platinum, and maybe Sphalerite are magma-safe now (assuming magma is still temperature 12000), as well as several others)

'''Ores''' are a type of [[stone]] that can be used to create [[bar]]s of pure [[metal]]s and [[alloy]]s at the [[smelter]].  Many ores are quite valuable as mined, and a [[mason]] or [[stone crafter]] can work them the same as any stone.  However, ores fall into the [[economic stone]] category, and so must be designated for non-restricted use in the [[z-stone]] 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.

This article is about an older version of DF.

Ores are a type of Template:L that can be used to create Template:Ls of pure Template:Ls and Template:Ls at the Template:L. Many ores are quite valuable as mined, 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 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.

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 cinnabar and cobaltite (which appear as £ but cannot be refined into mercury or cobalt as they would be in real life).
