When I play, I frequently mod a lot of the vanilla metals to be usable for weapons. As impractical as it may be, sometimes i get a handful of good things, for example, brass and lead mauls for my weapon traps. At the same time, my adventurers always end up starting with Large Electrum Daggers and it's quite annoying. Anyways, unrelatedly, is it possible to code alloys of alloys? for example, mixing Lead, Steel, and Brass into a very heavy, but still sharp and resiliant, material? I mean, it should be, but before I start trying I wanna know if someone else tried it and it has a game breaking bug

You would have to write your own custom reaction requiring those metal alloys and create a custom inorganic material with the specifications for the new alloy. It won't automatically combine them for you, so you have to define everything in the raws yourself

Yes, easily, here's an example.

Code: [Select]

[INORGANIC:HIGH_SPEED_STEEL_PUTNAM]
    [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:METAL_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:high-speed steel]

And the reaction to make it:

Code: [Select]

    [NAME:make high speed steel] 1.5% carbon .5% silicon 1% manganese 1% nickel 5% chromium 4.5% molybdenum 6% vanadium 2.5% tungsten

    [PRODUCT:100:10:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:HIGH_SPEED_STEEL_PUTNAM][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
    [CATEGORY:MATERIALS_PLUS]
    [DESCRIPTION:Takes steel, vanadium, chromium, tungsten and molybdenum to make high speed steel, which is about 16% stronger than steel.]
    [DESCRIPTION:The fact that 6 bars of steel go in and 10 bars of high-steel come out makes this a very worthy alloy.]

I knew that much, I just wanted to be sure; I intend on making a powerful late game metal, with the weight of lead and combat effectiveness of adamantine, to represent the peak of one race's achievements
