Gold is a high-value, relatively common Template:L. The only Template:L of gold is Template:L, which when mined yields gold nuggets. Gold Template:Ls can be made at a Template:L or Template:L by a dwarf with the Template:L labor activated. Gold is one of the three metals (with Template:L and Template:L) used to mint coins for the Dwarven Template:L and has the highest value of the three.
Gold may be combined with other metals at a smelter or magma smelter to form different Template:Ls. The following is a list of alloys involving gold:
- Template:L = Gold + Template:L + 2x Template:L
- Template:L = Gold + Template:L
- Template:L = 3x Gold + Template:L
None of the gold alloys have a greater material value than gold itself, but if gold nuggets (material value 30) are smelted directly with a low-value Template:L ore such as Template:L (material value 5) or Template:L (material value 3), it will produce two bars of Template:L (material value 20) for a net gain in value.
Native gold has the same Template:L as the refined metal, so in some cases it may be advantageous to make crafts and furniture directly from gold nuggets rather than gold bars, since it requires no Template:L and uses labors that are easily trained. To use native gold for furniture and the like, you should place a stone Template:L allowing only native gold near your Template:L (native gold furniture, blocks, etc.), Template:L (native gold crafts), or Template:L (native gold mechanisms) and enable "gold nuggets" (not "gold") using the z : Stone menu. To avoid wasting gold nuggets, it may be wise to suspend all other stone-using jobs until your native gold furniture/crafts are complete, and then re-enable the restrictions.
Note that a dwarf who has a preference for gold metal will not be particularly impressed by items crafted from native gold nuggets, and vice-versa.
