===Alloying metals=== <!--T:6--> | |||
To alloy two or more metals together, a certain ratio of metal nuggets is required in the [[Crucible]]. Exact ratios are detailed in the [[Casting#Alloy Ratios|Alloy Ratios]] Section. For instance, to alloy Bismuth Bronze, a ratio of 2-4 [[Metal#Bismuth|Bismuth]] nuggets, 10-14 [[Metal#Copper|Copper]] nuggets, and 4-6 [[Metal#Zinc|Zinc]] nuggets will create a single ingot of [[Metal#Alloys|Bismuth Bronze]]. These numbers of nuggets can be combined in any arrangement; for example, if you have very little Zinc and Bismuth, you may elect to complete the recipe with 2 [[Metal#Bismuth|Bismuth]] nuggets, 14 [[Metal#Copper|Copper]] nuggets, and 4 [[Metal#Zinc|Zinc]] nuggets. | |||
If attempting to create a full ingot of an alloy, any ratio of nuggets should add up to 20 nuggets (or 100 units) of metal. Alloy recipes not fulfilling this condition will create amounts of metal too small to cast an ingot or tool from. | |||
