GREAT IDEA.

(Really, I just kind of lumped all the rare-earths into one thing, since I was in a bit of a rush to get this out at first)

Chromium Fortress. Everything's futuristic now.

Would it be possible to get a file listing which metals are better then others for weapons and armour and which ones are the most valuable? just cause you do add a LOT of different metals and what not. If possible thanks, if not then thanks anyways.

Cheers

edit: loving the oil, I hit two huge pockets on my first tunnel into the mountain. My fuel needs are over.

[Putnam]

I'll be honest here, I have no idea how effective any of the metals will be. They're literally based on real-life values and nothing more.

It should go like this, though:

What I'm sure of for armor: addy>holy steel>composites>steel>bronze>iron>copper

The rest I really don't know--haven't actually tested them. Adamantine-plated lead should be best for blunt weapons by far, and rhenium/tungsten/osmium/iridium should all be exceedingly good for blunt as well.

Wasn't there a Adamantine science thread that said that Adamantine would realistically be indium?

[Putnam]

Indium? That makes so little sense it's uncanny Indium is soft as hell. I do remember that topic, and they found that it was some sort of magical eka-aluminum with the same molar mass as iron, IIRC.

I just know that it's a light as styrofoam.

Also wouldn't Addy-plated lead also make great cutting weapons? The extra weight behind that monomolecular edge?

[Putnam]

Yes. Of course it would.

Thanks Putnam for the !!science!! mod.

I only included a few metals to begin with Adamantine Steel, Depleted Uranium, Titanium, Rhodium, Tungsten, Rhenium, Iridium. But I plan on adding some additional elements of your mod when I change the raws so that they are useful in Adventure Mode. The seven above are all random metals available for weaponry and armour.

Thanks for your mod,

Very cool pack Putnam, I like a lot of the ideas in here including the synthetic textiles.  Thanks for saying it's OK to reuse stuff,  as always I learn a lot from your work ... and you're already thanked in my mod credits   I'll also make an extra note if I actually copy anything directly! 

(e.g. if you actually do implement the fiber laser amplifiers

Imma update this with some automation, because... well, the amount of micromanaging in this is pretty extreme.

[Putnam]

Updated with some automation!

I've recently downlaoded this mod and went straight for the elves. But they don't have mechanic skill! Is there a skill that replaces this or a function?

[Putnam]

There should be, since I have cages. Odd.

[PhoenixEggz]

The entire tier the skill is under is gone. No siege operating and the like, either.

You also can't embark with certain skills, and you can't bring any kind of weapon except maybe bows. This means no axes to cut down trees if you need to. Which Isn't really a problem since you can just -make- them as it is, but it does seem odd.
