A platinum nugget weighs 6420.  My dwarves really labor hauling these around.  Is this change related to real-life values, or a small typo?  This might explain why my platinum crafts were overburdening the caravan I wanted to trade with earlier.

For reference:  Iron weighs 1530.

So is this normal?  Are the weight units supposed to be lbs or kgs, or some warfy measurement?

Hmm.  Densities according to Wikipedia:

Iron: 7.86 g/(cm^3)
Lead: 11.34 g/(cm^3)
Platinum: 21.45 g/(cm^3)

So, it looks like platinum is a bit heavier than it should be compared to iron, but then again these numbers are only for the PURE element, not ore or smelted bars.  The issue of impurities really mucks things up.

Platinum is VERY heavy in real life, so yes it should be heavy in the game.

not a bug, rather a feature, hooray all metals not weighing the same!
