Early Metalworking For Expanded Materials
This mod is a version of the mod Early Metalworking that requires the mod Expanded Materials Metals. Dont install this mod together with the original Early Metalworking!
This is an unofficial addon for Expanded Materials Metals which hopes to introduce more depth while playing through the Neolithic and Medieval eras by focusing on the development of metalworking.
The main feature of this mod is the ability to create bronze equipment using an early forge which is available after completing a neolithic research project. There is also an additional brass resource which can be created by smelting copper and zinc. Zinc can be obtained by extracting from certain stone chunks at the stonecutters table.
New Feature: Cast and forge cauldrons which can be used for slow cooking pottage or carved as an art item.
[SYR] Processor Framework is now a requirement
Tribal factions will be more dangerous as some tribal pawns will be equipped with items from this mod
