Wikipedia article

A naturally occurring metal in Dwarf Fortress, it is smelted from cassiterite.

Tin can be used to make furniture and 'other objects' at a metalsmith's forge (with a base value of 2), but it is primarily used to combine with other materials at a smelter. If iron is not available, tin is an important military metal, as it is used to create the relatively effective bronze from the less sturdy copper. The following is a list of Recipes involving Tin:

• Lay Pewter = 2x Tin + Copper + Lead
• Fine Pewter = 3x Tin + Copper
• Trifle Pewter = 2x Tin + Copper
• Bronze = Tin + Copper
• Bismuth Bronze = Tin + 2x Copper + Bismuth
