Working with Minerals

Amazing Nature reworks how you obtain and process metals, introducing a clear distinction between Scrap and Ore:

• Scrap metals can be transported through portals.
• Ores cannot be transported through portals.

Processing Metals

Scrap metals no longer go to the Smelter or Furnace. Instead, they are processed via crafting stations:

• Forge → Ironworks → Artisan Table → Blackforge → Runeforge

Each type of metal requires a different level of crafting station.

Metal Conversion Rules

• Scrap Metal: Requires 2 pieces to make 1 bar.
• Ore: Converts 1:1 into bars.
• Weights of all metals have been adjusted for realism and balance.

Rusted Scrap
