New Metals

So in Arena mode you can see that there are a bunch of new metals like Shining Metal or Booming Metal or Clear Blue Metal, that appear to have no entries in the raws. Anyone have any idea what that's about?

These are randomly generated metals, as it turns out. Apparently connected with the gods, as they have a [DIVINE] tag and spheres. There's also randomly generated armour, weapons and clothing created by gods.

Are these able to be found in game in adventure mode? That would be awesome.

Nothing's truly dwarfy until it's been weaponized to kill elves with magma.

Looking into the uncompressed saves again, I found some very interesting things about these new metals...
(spoilered, because I think this is a new kind of HFS...)

Time to explore as an adventurer to find out about this.

Apparently dwarves can have a preference for these new metals. I have dwarf who really likes "searing metal" in my currently doomed embark.
