Bismuth is a metal. Its main use is as a component of bismuth bronze . On its own, it can be used to make plates for lanterns , Archimedes screws and plaques .

Obtaining

Bismuth can be smelted into ingots.

Ores

There is only one ore of bismuth in the game, bismuthinite. It can occur in any igneous or metamorphic rock layer , as both a shallow and a deep ore.

Usage

Bismuth nuggets should be mixed with zinc and copper to create bismuth bronze. Bismuth ingots on their own can only be smithed into plates, whose only current use is for lantern creation, Archimedes screws or plaques.

Alloys

Bismuth nuggets should be mixed with zinc and copper to create bismuth bronze at a ratio of 10-20% bismuth, 20-30% zinc and 50-70% copper. Bismuth bronze has a low melting point and is inferior to other types of bronze in terms of attack speed, mining speed and damage mitigation.
