My mod in my sig actually creates an alloy of cobalt and copper, that is near-equivalent to steel. Only cobalds have the reaction, currently, but you could just find it in their entity file and move it to the dwarves' file.

Other than that, I love it for it's color. Seeing as how cobalt itself makes a great blunt material, perhaps I should ensure that such remains true for my mod...

It's really a nice blue, perfect for the basic spriting that can be done with DF wall/floor tiles.

[Girlinhat]

*_{not a blatant cheat because it does contain 10% iron, smelting cobaltite yields oxides of both, which can be reduced using carbon, but IRL smelting cobaltite also produces toxic arsenic gas}

Just to note, you can mod in a metal that evaporates at room temperature, and is a 100% ore of cobaltite.  This will cause nauxious fumes to explode from the smelter when it's done.

Which is thus best used on obnoxious nobles

I'd personally make it non-fatal but long lasting syndrome.  You can somewhat safely perform it, but not very quickly lest you lose lives.

So you basically want to create dwarven asbestos poisoning.

Hey, if dwarves had asbestos they'd be sleeping in the stuff.  You know I'm right.

...Yeah. Or cooking it in roasts.

[ASCIt]

Or storing booze in it.

[Wannazzaki]

Or forcing prisoners to live in cages of it.

[BeforeLifer]

Or having the crazy Nobles Solitary confinment room and strait jackect lined with it for mandating metals that you have no accese too,(damn you lost a few good metalsmiths to these basterds wanting bismuth>_>)

[zilpin]

Or killing goblins with it.
First in it's production, second with arrows made from it, third with axes made from it.

More evidence that Girlinhat is Ol' CJ.

This is a exceptionally prepared asbestos roast. The ingredients are finely minced asbestos, masterfully minced asbestos, finely mined asbestos, and masterfully minced cat tallow.

I think it would be pretty to have deep blue cobalt glass:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_glass like a lot of old bottles have.
