Yeah, if you do it. Anything but Adamantie. The warhammer 40k mods have that as a material already.

Possible metal names (Taken from Metallurgy minecraft mod)

Ignatius, Shadow Iron, Lemurite, Shadow Steel, Midasium, Vyroxeres, Ceruclase, Adluorite, Inolashite, Kalendrite, Amordrine, Vulcanite, Sanguinite, Prometheum, Deep Iron, Infusolium, Black Steel, Oureclase, Aredrite, Astral Silver, Carmot, Mithril, Rubracium, Quicksilver, Haderoth, Orichalcum, Celenegil, Adamantine, Atlarus, and Tartarite

@Gerewoatle fair point, i'll think of a proper name.
i guess you need to be 250 iq scientist these days for mod making :p

@RavenousEye - If you do give in to the whiners, could you choose a different name than "adamantine"? There are already fantasy mods that rename plasteel to "adamantite" and it's probably just going to cause needless confusion.

i guess i could replace it with adamantine. it won't be this weekend though, maybe next week.

I also feel like tungsten should just be its own thing. I had an oooold tungsten mod way back that I should update the art for

Qliphothi for a "dark/evil" metal

Thanks for making this one CE compatible from the get go. Another thing to add to the modlist.

If you're going for fantasy metals, then Adamnatium and Orichalcum are other metals you can add in the future.

Yeah, adamantine sounds better, and black items look awesome

Tungsten should probably be swapped with Adamantine

@whenwrašk it's blocked in the UK by IMGUR themselves not the UK government, because of their refusal to do something the government asked, can't remember what it is but it's actually not because of the OSA. They just didn't want to do it, so blocked the UK's access. You also can't bypass it with a VPN for some reason, its weird.

People are really getting their nerd-bloomers in a bind and flexing their Wikipedia knowledge over tungsten being in the mod.

Yeah. Tungsten on the Periodic table iselement 74. GOLD is rarer then it, let alone uranium at 92 which we can mine on surface. I guess going for 'strength' and while tungsten is strongest we know in real life, we in 'mystical' ores here. Perhaps go with one of the theoritical elements like Rutherfordium that has a predicted melting point of 2100C. Comparable to Tungsten.

Tungsten, the most mythical of ores!
Let us offer the gods up a pearl made from tungsten-steel alloy so that we might be blessed with greater yields of excavated ore from the mountains.

Why is Tungsten a "mythical" ore....
What? Are we going to dig up the legendary Magnesium ore next lol

is imgur blocked in the UK? is something wrong with imgur, or is it just their government being harebrained again?

Ah yes, the 4 great materials of every great fantasy world, Mithril, Celestial Ore, Rubinite, and T U N G S T E N

@Rob The Robot Guard, why don't you put this energy you're using to shame modders in a more productive manner. Why don't you write about this to your MP instead.

Also, come on. Why are you being an arse to people who make stuff for free...

@Ishchyaboi

If the OSA came to America as it is in the UK then what would happen.

I imagine every steam workshop creator would change their image host overnight or within a week.
Because America is a large country with a lot of influence over everything.

Every country has its issues but something like this could happen anywhere and being unwilling to adapt so everyone can equally access content or information related to a mod or mod page is harmful for the future of modding as country's try to go on moral crusades against any form of unsavory content or asking these websites to add age verification.

To me a long term solution is for Valve to offer the ability for people to upload images directly to steam for use on steam workshop pages like how it works with guides. I am not talking about the image carousel that workshop creators can already use i am referring to the ability to insert images directly into the description of a workshop items

I do sympathize with the asinine policies the UK government is forcing on its people, but you are asking the rest of the (modding) world to change their standards to accommodate those stupid government decisions. Everyone already has to deal with the stupidity from their own governments, they shouldn't have to go international to borrow trouble from other countries too.

@Gerewoatle

Counter point.

Not everyone has the technical know-how or means to use a VPN.

Not doing anything will harm users by making it harder for them to understand what a mod does so their less likely to download it unless they want to jump through hoops in order to do so.
Using a VPN is not easy for everyone to do especially people of an older generation or people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Workshop creators who still create workshop pages which use imgur embeds are either unaware of this issue or they cannot be asked to use a different image host for newer mod uploads or they have some other reason.

All modders use GitHub or a platform like it so its a no brainier why they cannot just publish images there and directly embed them from there. i am aware that there are limits on how much you can upload to a single repository on GitHub.

I understand why older mods wont get their images updated to work but newly released mods should stop using imgur for infographics and instead move it elsewhere.

Sorry for the rambling i live in the UK so i have to put up with this crap and it bugs me that mod developers have not gotten the memo yet.

@Rob - Alternatively, no one should feel obligated to go out of their way to indulge the UK's nonsense.

Hello mod author.

Did you know you can embed images from github and place them on a steam workshop page in a similar way to how you can embed imager images on a workshop page.

Basically upload the image to a github repository.

Open the image within github and then right click on it and press "open image in new tab"

Copy the URL from the address bar in the newly opened tab.

Replace the URLs for the embeds on the workshop page with the ones from github.

Now anyone can see the info-graphics that you have made. also it makes the workshop page look way better.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks so much both of you ^^

@Mikune Folf I'll make a discussion tab above ^^ with all the stats for those who can't see the images.

@greensniperhat thanks, i've copy pasted this message in discussion so it doesn't get lost in chat.

@SanguinarcAQL they can also be bought (but are kinda rare) by trading at other colonies, and sometimes with comms console trader ships.

I like the idea but, being a fan of low-tech playthrough, I want to ask if it is possible to add those as quest rewards? in small quantity of course

Lemme just transcribe it here for now:

Mithril Ore
Primary use: Armor
Sharp protection: 130%
Blunt protection: 115%
Heat protection: 90%

Celestial Ore
Primary use: Beauty
Beauty modifier: 500%
Beauty offset: +25

Rubinite Ore
Primary use: Weapons
Sharp modifier: 185%
Blunt modifier: 165%
melee cooldown: 75%

Tungsten Ore
Made into Tungsten bars at an electric smelter
Requires 12+ Crafting

Tungsten Bar
Primary use: Building
Structure health: 450%
Beauty modifier: 125%
Beauty offset: +5
Flammability: 0%

Sorry to be annoying but is there any chance to add the ore details and descriptions to the mod description because of the dumb Imgur block? This mod looks cool but no clue what it does because of the block.

You should be able to play with CE, but idk how balanced the ores will be.
If anyone with CE tests it feel free to post a yes or no here, or in the discord. i won't be testing it since i never use CE.

@MrGM Yes.

is this mod compatible with combat extended?

Obvious question, Tungsten smeltable in fueled smelters?

Its not their job to make it compatible with that mod

It would be awesome with what mod? lol

"should be compatible with all mods", including the one that the most annoying people are going to ask about?
