Talk:Aluminum

From DwarfFortressWiki

I had a mood produce greaves as an artifact from aluminum. Any idea if it can be used as armor, and what the modifier for the armor protection would be if it's usable? --Gotthard 13:46, 3 December 2007 (EST)

It would be 50%, as per the armor article. VengefulDonut 13:52, 3 December 2007 (EST)

However, I think the quality modifier from it being an artifact might make up for that. VengefulDonut 13:54, 3 December 2007 (EST)

How does it's weight compare with adamantium? Mindsnap 21:48, 5 December 2007 (EST)

Weight in the new version is based on material density. Aluminum is extremely light but adamantine is over ten times lighter than aluminum. Still, given the amount of it you can accumulate on magma vent maps, I usually wind up making a lot of aluminum bins and barrels to take advantage of the low weight factor. --RedKing 18:27, 28 December 2007 (EST)
