The yellow digger is mine! No peeing in my sandbox either!

So where do I get all the stuff I need?

This page is under construction. The following information may be incomplete. Add more materials and info about their sources, uses, and special/unique properties.

Good question! You can gain plenty of materials for your smeltery needs by asking the Miners for them, since their job is entirely about digging them up from rock. If there aren't any miners, don't worry. There's still plenty of materials that can be obtained through other means.

Alloys

Name	Image	Classification	Description
Steel		Sturdy Metal	The processed equivalent of mauxite, made with char and mauxite.
Electrum		Metal, High Energy Conductor	A gold-cobryl alloy excellent at conducting electricity.
Soulsteel		Metal, Power Source	Steel alloyed with Discount Dan's secret ingredient: human souls! Or at least, a more malleable form of them in form of ectoplasm ran through the material processor. Objects made from soulsteel, as well as alloys of it (so long as the soulsteel isn't too "diluted") can be piloted by Ghosts.
Plasmasteel		Metal, Dense Metal	Steel combined with plasmastone, dramatically raising its density.
Dyneema		Cloth/Fabric	A futuristic spidersilk-carbonfiber polymer that offers dramatic protection from melee and ranged attacks.

Other

Name	Image	Classification	Description
Starstone		Extraordinarily Dense Crystalline Matter	Extremely valuable, but can only be found in certain highly-dangerous Z5 asteroids, extremely rare starstone asteroids located by the quantum telescope, and the remains of meteor showers. Sell them to certain merchants to become an instant millionaire! Can also be used to infuse chemicals into metals and alloys.
Slag		Metal, Sturdy Metal	By-product of smelting and a low-quality substitute for mauxite.
Glass		Crystal	The processed equivalent of molitz.
Gnesis/Translucent Gnesis	/	Dense Metal, Crystal, High Energy Conductor, Reflective Material	Flockmind metal. As good a conductor as electrum, with a neat teal color too. Can be, obviously, obtained from smashing converted tiles, as well as somewhere in deep space.
Iridium-Alloy		Metal, Dense Metal, Sturdy Metal	The Syndicate's pride and joy. Ridiculously strong (80 hardness and density); can be dropped from Nanite swarms in their respective asteroids, and a certain secret source.
Carbon Nanofiber		Conductor, Cloth/Fabric	Jack of all stats, and nearly a master of all. Not only is it super dense and super hard, yet surprisingly permeable, but it's also excellent at conducting electricity and heat alike. Sec's armor vests can be reprocessed into these, and they can be found in nanite clusters, super-rare Quantum Telescope "asteroids" that house huge swarms of angry nanobots.
Ectofiber	TBA	Conductor, Power Source, Cloth/Fabric	Ghost hair. A surprisingly good material for custom power cells, but you need a special weapon to obtain it, and just finding it is a quest.
Coral		Metal, Crystal, Fabric/Organic	A surprisingly versatile mineral cut from the coral outside Oshan Laboratory. Makes a lovely, royal purple color.
Ectoplasm		Power Source	Don't think too hard about the implications of using a piece of a ghost for power. Its stats are abyssmal, but it's a relatively easy-to-obtain power source for manufacturer requirements and can used for neat stuff like soulsteel. Appears when enough ectoplasm reagent is poured onto a surface, when Wraiths choose to spawn ectoplasm through the Poltergeist ability, and when a ectoplasmic destabilizer successfully de-hairs a ghost.
Space Spider Silk		Fabric/Organic	Obtained by butchering spiders of any kind, ice, clown, cluwne, or just regular.
