Zinc is a metal that can only be smelted from sphalerite. While it can be turned into furniture and 'other objects' at a metalsmith's forge, it is also used to create alloys at a smelter. Zinc is particularly useful if you have magma, as it is an ingredient in the creation of magma-proof nickel silver (in order to stretch your nickel supplies further). Zinc is used in the following recipes at a smelter:
- Nickel silver = Zinc + 2x Nickel + Copper
- Brass = Zinc + Copper
Interestingly, magma is hot enough to boil zinc, and the resulting vapor can be quite dangerous to any creatures nearby.
