Cupronickel is an alloy made from copper and nickel. It is used for a variety of new machines. Its uses are hinted at in resonance archives, added in version 1.18.0.

Obtaining

As an alloy, cupronickel is not naturally occurring and must be created by the player. Cupronickel is created from a mixture of 65-75% copper to 25-35% nickel. These ores must then be cast in a crucible to create cupronickel, which can then be poured into prepared molds for use. Since nickel ore (pentlandite) has a smelting temperature of 1325°C, the only fuel that can be used to cast cupronickel ingots is the coke , which can heat up to 1340°C. Cupronickel alloy has a smelting temperature of 1171°C, slightly lower than nickel, which means that heating cupronickel bits will require the use of black or anthracite coal, coke, or charcoal. Brown coal does not reach a high enough temperature to smelt cupronickel.

Usage

Currently, only cupronickel ingots can be made and used.

  • Terminus teleporter
    • Terminus teleporter thanatos coupling
    • Terminus teleporter transpressor
    • Terminus teleporter transit anodes

Cupronickel ingots can be combined with a chisel in the crafting grid to return cupronickel bits, which can be re-cast and reused. Cupronickel ingots can be stacked on the ground, stored in a display case, or stacked on shelves.

Progression

Cupronickel, along with electrum, is used exclusively to craft advanced technological components that provide several major new functions. Since these new machines require significant investments in time and materials, and require rare parts that drop only from powerful enemies like corrupt sawblade locusts, it is an item that will largely only be used by endgame, well-geared players.

Trivia

  • While cupronickel plates and nails and strips can be spawned in using Creative Mode, they cannot be created in Survival Mode.
