'''Tetrahedrite''' is the most versatile [[ore]] in the game.  It is an ore of both [[copper]] and [[silver]], and is found as veins in any [[stone]].
  
'''Tetrahedrite''' is an unusual [[ore]]. When smelted, it produces a [[copper]] bar and has a 20% chance of also producing a [[silver]] bar. Can be used to smelt 6 different [[alloy]]s - [[trifle pewter]], [[fine pewter]], [[billon]], [[electrum]], [[bronze]], and [[brass]].

When [[smelter|smelted]], tetrahedrite always produces a copper [[bar]], with a 20% chance of producing a silver bar to go with it. It can also be used in the creation of no less than six different alloys at a [[smelter]][[bronze]], [[brass]], [[trifle pewter]], [[fine pewter]], [[electrum]], and [[billon]]. However, there are special caveats in each case:
  
It has a value modifier of 3, and can appear in any stone layer.

* If tetrahedrite is used to create bronze, brass, trifle pewter, or fine pewter, no silver bar is created, just as if [[malachite]] or [[native copper]] had been used.
 +
* Since tetrahedrite is considered an ore of silver, it can be used in the creation of electrum just as easily as [[native silver]].  While it will not produce a copper bar during such a reaction, it can still be worthwhile to use it this way due to copper having such a low value.

* Finally, billon may be created using nothing but tetrahedrite.  Due to what may be a bug, one chunk of tetrahedrite will produce ''two'' bars of billon. This makes it by far the most [[valuable]] reaction with tetrahedrite.
  
When smelting billon, tetrahedrite counts as both copper and silver ore at the same time and produces two billon bars for one ore (for this to work you have to forbid or in some other way block access to any silver ore, otherwise your smelter will use it combined with tetrahedrite). This may be a bug.

Tetrahedrite can be used to make a wide range of [[metal|metal bars]] at a [[smelter]]:
 +
* Copper bars, with a 20% chance of an additional silver bar
 +
* Billon bars (best value)
 +
* Brass bars - with [[sphalerite]]

* Fine pewter bars - with 3 cassiterite

* Electrum bars - with gold nuggets
  
It is worth considering to smelt electrum from Tetarahedrite and gold nuggets, because this way you'll get more value. For example, if we have 5 tetrahedrite and 5 gold nuggets, then smelting them individually will give 5 gold bars (value 5x150), 5 copper bars (value 5x10) and, on average, 1 silver bar (value 1x50), to the total value of 850. But smelting them to electrum will give 10 electrum bars with a value of 1000.

Tetrahedrite is the most versatile ore in the game. It is an ore of both copper and silver, and is found as veins in any stone.

When smelted, tetrahedrite always produces a copper bar, with a 20% chance of producing a silver bar to go with it. It can also be used in the creation of no less than six different alloys at a smelter: bronze, brass, trifle pewter, fine pewter, electrum, and billon. However, there are special caveats in each case:

  • If tetrahedrite is used to create bronze, brass, trifle pewter, or fine pewter, no silver bar is created, just as if malachite or native copper had been used.
  • Since tetrahedrite is considered an ore of silver, it can be used in the creation of electrum just as easily as native silver. While it will not produce a copper bar during such a reaction, it can still be worthwhile to use it this way due to copper having such a low value.
  • Finally, billon may be created using nothing but tetrahedrite. Due to what may be a bug, one chunk of tetrahedrite will produce two bars of billon. This makes it by far the most valuable reaction with tetrahedrite.

Smelting[edit]

Tetrahedrite can be used to make a wide range of metal bars at a smelter:

  • Copper bars, with a 20% chance of an additional silver bar
  • Billon bars (best value)
  • Brass bars - with sphalerite
  • Bronze bars - with cassiterite
  • Trifle pewter bars - with 2 cassiterite
  • Fine pewter bars - with 3 cassiterite
  • Electrum bars - with gold nuggets
