I'm looking at galena and seeing this

code:

[METAL_ORE:LEAD:100]
[METAL_ORE:SILVER:50]

Does that mean that smelting galena will produce silver 1/3 of the time and lead 2/3 of the time, or does it mean it will always produce lead plus some silver 1/2 of the time?

[Greiger]

I believe it means that it will always make lead and sometimes (1/2 the time) also make silver...but this is just an unscientific observation from a short lived fort.

Smelting a piece of ore leaves a percentage of a full bar of every metal mentioned in the ore's definition. So yes, every chunk of galena will produce a lead bar, while every second galena chunk will also yield a bar of silver. I don't remember specifically testing it for that, but that's what I know.

Would that mean you could, say, make an ore that yields three gold bars when smelted by doing this?

code:

[METAL_ORE:GOLD:300]

Or would you do it this way?

code:

[METAL_ORE:GOLD:100]
[METAL_ORE:GOLD:100]
[METAL_ORE:GOLD:100]

Never tried the first, but unless Toady has hardcoded a limit for the number, it should work. The second, probably not, because it's the same material listed thrice. If it were LUA, it would work. Here, it probably won't.
