Implement all Refined Metals as replacement for Raw Metals


Recommended Posts

Well, I simply like to suggest adding all (and not just high/space tier) Refined Metals as replacement for Raw Metals i.e Gold, Iron, Tungsten and Copper for several reasons:

  • Choice
  • Consistency
  • Convenience

Important here is not the Overheat temperature, which is only +50°C and the same as Gold Amalgam but high Thermal Conductivity (Specific Heat Capacity is also a bit smaller, sometimes)  Gold Amalgam has only 2 W/m/K, Gold 60 W/m/K, while even the most conductive raw metal, Wolframite has 15 W/m/K at best. Iron as the least conductive refined metal has 55 W/m/K, if you take aside Steel with 54 W/m/K.

Additionally one then does not have to worry about converting raw ore to refined metal, at least when using the Metal Refinery and has no Smooth Hatches to feed. Needless to say, it'd made sense and I am certain it would not upset (the future) game balance by offering an "in between tier" of machinery but instead would make the progress more smoothly.
