Metals+
This mod adds more metals with unique stats and textures. I tried to base everything off of real-world values, but while still keeping the metals balanced to Rimworld. Four of the metals can be found in the world, and one of them needs to be created at a smelter.
I do plan to add more metals in the future, perhaps even some fantasy metals, however, I felt 5 was enough to justify a public release. I originally only created this mod for myself, but as the workshop seems kind of lacking in terms of material mods for Rimworld, I figured I’d upload this.
The metals added are as follows (in the same order as they are visible in the image above):
Copper – A highly thermally conductive, softer metal.
Tin – A very soft, fragile metal. Mostly useful for makeshift weaponry, buildings, or smelting with copper into bronze.
Bronze – An alloy smelted from copper and a little bit of tin. It’s beautiful and on-par with iron in terms of fucntionality.
Iron – The precursor to steel. (Don’t worry, compacted steel still spawns naturally in the world.) You can use iron to make decent tools or armor or refine it, in a smelter, to create steel.
Titanium – A very stong, light, and durable metal. It isn’t able to completely match plasteel in most of it’s abilities, but it’s a close second. (It’s also realistically rare and expensive.)
This mod is, in many ways, a successor to More Metals by "gay monster dad". I couldn’t find a replacement after the author stop updating it, so I edited it myself, and eventually created this mod. This is not, however, a reupload, or an updated version of his mod. It’s different in a few key aspects. I also didn’t include his "Serenite" metal in this mod, as I didn’t have his permission to do so, and it’s uniquely his idea.
Please let me know if I made any mistakes, or if you find it’s incompatible with any other cool mods.
Apparently, it is not compatible with Combat Extended, or maybe it is? We’re one and one at the moment. If you want to help settle this debate, please let me know in the comments whether or not this has worked with CE for you.
