Creating [[Metal#Alloys|bronze]] works in the same way as when you create copper, however you will have to find some extra ingredients to create one of these 3 [[Metal#Alloys|alloys]. Mix them inside the crucible according to these ratios. Be aware that some ores contain fewer units of metal than others, as shown in the tooltip information. | Creating [[Metal#Alloys|bronze]] works in the same way as when you create copper, however, you will have to find some extra ingredients to create one of these 3 [[Metal#Alloys|alloys].

You don't need to know the ratios as you can also guess your way to them just by trial&error in the crucible. The firepit dialog will tell you if you got a valid combination. | You don't need to know the ratios as you can also guess your way to them just by trial&error in the crucible.
