'''Metal''' is a [[material]] extracted from [[ore]] at a [[smelter]]. It is then sometimes combined with other materials to form an '''alloy''' metal. An alloy usually improves on the properties of its components to give more uses and [[Item value|value]]. The metal bars resulting from the [[smelting]] are used to make items such as [[weapon]]s, [[armor]], and [[furniture]] at a [[Metalsmith's forge|forge]]. Smelting pure ores into the corresponding bars raises the base value from 3 (for stone) to 5. This value is then multiplied against the base value of the metal (except adamantine, which produces wafers instead of bars).

'''Metal''' is a [[material]] extracted from [[ore]] at a [[smelter]], turning the ore into '''bars'''* of pure metal. It is sometimes combined with other materials to form an '''alloy''' metal, which is also measured by the bar. An alloy usually improves on the properties of its components to give more uses and/or [[Item value|value]]. The metal bars resulting from [[smelting]] are used to make items such as [[weapon]]s, [[armor]], [[furniture]], and [[crafts]] at a [[Metalsmith's forge|forge]].  
 
  
−
Smelting pure ores into the corresponding bars raises the base value from that of a stone (3) to that of a bar* (5). This value is then multiplied against the [[value#Material multipliers|material multiplier]] of the metal.

Many metals can be mixed together to create alloys. In a few cases these alloys will result in an overall increase in value, or the resultant alloy will be more powerful when used to forge weapons or armour. Many alloys result in no overall increase in wealth. The main use of these alloys is to allow you to dilute any valuable metals you import, or to create items with interesting colours: for instance, [[rose gold]] is purple. An additional benefit is reduced fuel use.

:''(* except [[adamantine]], which produces "wafers" instead of bars)''
+
In terms of maximizing total material value, currently{{version|0.28.181.40d}} [[tin]] should be made into [[fine pewter]] or [[bronze]] (depending on availability of copper), and [[zinc]] should be made into [[brass]]. If [[copper]] is limited, it should be used for fine pewter. [[Nickel]] and [[lead]] do not form valuable alloys:
  
−
==Alloys==
+
*2 tin, 1 copper, and 1 lead can form 4 [[lay pewter]] worth 12, or 3 [[trifle pewter]] and 1 lead worth 14.
−
There are only 11 pure metals in Dwarf Fortress (plus [[Adamantine]]).  Many of these can be mixed together to create '''alloys''' of one type or another, of which there are another 14. In some cases these alloys will result in an overall increase in value, or the resultant alloy will be more powerful when used to forge weapons or armour, though many alloys result in no overall increase in utility or [[Wealth|created wealth]]. (These increases in value can be compared in the "Difference" column of the table, below.)
+
*2 nickel, 1 copper, and 1 zinc can form 4 [[nickel silver]] worth 12, or 2 nickel and 2 [[brass]] worth 18.
  
−
The main use of these alloys is to allow you to stretch any useful metals you have too few of, to increase the value of the bars created, and/or to create items with distinct colours (for instance, [[rose gold]] is [[Color schemes|magenta]]) for furniture, colour-coding rooms or levers, or artistic constructions (including [[floor]] mosaics). In some cases ([[bronze]], for example) an additional benefit is reduced fuel consumption, as you can create multiple bars of some alloys directly from raw ores with only one [[smelter]] task, bypassing the need to first make bars of the pure metals (and thus using only 1 fuel to produce multiple bars).  With one [[Billon|exception]] (which can be viewed as a bug), the number of bars used to create an alloy always equals the number of bars produced; # in = # out.
+
On the other hand, nickel silver is [[magma-safe]], so it can be useful if you're short on nickel and [[iron]] and haven't found any [[bauxite]].
  
−
In terms of maximizing total material value, currently [[tin]] should be made into [[fine pewter]] or [[bronze]] or [[bismuth bronze]] (depending on availability of the necessary ores), and [[zinc]] should be made into [[brass]]. Almost all alloy reactions involve copper, so if [[copper]] is in limited supply on your map (and you wish to maximize value), it should be used for [[fine pewter]]. If you wish to maximize armour and weaponry, use copper for bronze or (better, to stretch it more) bismuth bronze.  [[Nickel]] and [[lead]] do not form monetarily profitable alloys.
+
== List of metals ==
  
−
Examples:
+
"Reaction" indicates the recipe for an alloy metal; this does not include the [[fuel]] used in their creation.  "Profit" indicates the value gained per bar of metal and total value gained by performing this reaction.
−
:*2 tin, 1 copper, plus 1 lead ''(worth 2 each, or 8)'' can form '''either''':
 
−
:: 4 [[lay pewter]] ''(worth 3 each, or 12)'',
 
−
::'''or'''
 
−
::3 [[trifle pewter]] ''(worth 4 each, or 12)'' plus the 1 lead ''(14 total, a better value)''.
 
−
:*1 copper, 1 zinc, plus 2 nickel ''(worth 2 each, or 8)'' can form '''either''':
 
−
::4 [[nickel silver]] ''(worth 3 each, or 12)'',
 
−
::'''or'''
 
−
::2 [[brass]] ''(worth 7 each, or 14)'' plus the 2 nickel ''(18 total, a better value)''.
 
  
−
However, nickel silver is [[magma-safe]], so it can be useful if you're short on nickel and [[iron]] and haven't found any [[bauxite]]. Lay pewter may be necessary for [[strange mood]]s or [[mandate]]s, as is true for ''any'' material.

''Legend:''
 
−
:* '''Tile Color''' corresponds to how items made from that metal are displayed in game, foreground and background colors.
 
−
:*'''Reaction''' indicates the basic recipe for an alloy - this does not include the [[fuel]] used in that creation.  See the article for that alloy or [[smelting]] for possible alternatives.
 
−
::'''!''' - ''You can use only [[bar]]s of metal in this reaction, not ores.
 
−
:*'''Weapons/Armor''' is the damage/blocking multiplier for weapons and armor in combat. Unless otherwise noted, any metal that can be used for weapons can also be used to make ammo, picks, and crossbows.
 
−
::''*Silver has a 50% armor multiplier, but can't voluntarily be used to make armor. However, a dwarf with a [[strange mood]] might forge armor out of any material, including silver.''
 
−
:*'''Density''' is used to determine the different weight of finished objects.
 
−
:*'''[[Material value]]''' is what the base value of an object made of this metal is multiplied by to determine it's worth.
 
−
:*'''Difference''' indicates the difference between the average [[value]] of the required bars of metals vs. the value of the resulting bars of alloy - what went in vs. what comes out, measured per bar. "+0" indicates that the resulting alloy is a perfectly average value of the component metals. For pure metals, this indicates the difference in value between the metal and the ore, separated with commas in cases where multiple ore values differ.  Values marked with an asterisk denote ores that can yield multiple metals; on average, the difference in value from smelting either [[tetrahedrite]] or [[galena]] is +1.
