what does brittle mean. (For the game, I know what it means). --Soyweiser 13:20, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Hey Soyweiser, if you look at the Raw file below there are tags for [BRITTLE] on some of the metals. I can only assume that this increases the chances of a weapon or other object breaking when in use; but that's just a guess. --Markavian
Yeah, I saw that in the raw files indeed. Perhaps it makes the items degrade faster. But we have no proof of this yet? nobody tested it? --Soyweiser 06:47, 7 November 2007 (EST)

I'm pretty sure that the brittle flag means that you cannot make craft goods and furniture from it. Note that bismuth and pig iron cannot be made into any craft good or furniture item.

Alloys

Alright, someone merged Alloy into this page, but there's also alloy information at smelting. If not its own page, where are we gonna put that info? --Turgid Bolk 01:18, 7 November 2007 (EST)
