24.4 Raw Commodities
Your miners will unearth a variety of raw commodities as they work on a lode. These can then be refined into usable commodities at a later time. Raw commodities and their finished product ------------------------------------------ Coal : A piece of coal (No refinement needed) Carbon : Steel bar (also requires one iron ore) Fibre : A spool of cloth OR a length of rope Gold ore : Gold bar Impure ice : Cube of elemental ice Iron ore : Iron bar Platinum ore: Platinum bar Raw bone : Polished bone Raw gems : Small gems Raw obsidian: A piece of obsidian Raw stone : A block of stone Silver ore : Silver bar Refining -------- In the camp outside a mining stronghold simply REFINE <x> <finished comm>. For example, REFINE 5 PLATINUM will attempt to convert 5 platinum ore into platinum bars. Each refined commodity will require a piece of coal to power the refining process. If you wish to refine 5 gold ore you will need 5 coal. Raw commodities are converted 1:1 to the finished commodity in almost all cases. The only exception here is steel, which requires iron ore and carbon to produce. Commodities required in the refining process (including coal) will be drawn automatically from your rift if you do not have any in your inventory. Lode locations -------------- Lodes for the various raw commodities can be found in the following environments: Valley Hills Desert Mountains Tundra Polar Carbon x x x Iron ore x x x x Raw obsidian x x Silver ore x x x Gold ore x x x Platinum ore x x x Raw gems x x x Coal x x x Raw bone x x x Impure ice x x Raw stone x x Fibre is gained via FORAGING, see HELP FORAGERS
