Precious metals and gems “advanced uses/ weapons”

Currently, diamonds are the only thing that have A use, outside of selling for dukes. Which is the diamond tip mod.

First step I’d like to see is the ability to refine nuggets of silver and gold into INGOTS. Make it like 5 to 1 or so. You could even make a jeweler’s forge as a structure option to facilitate this. These ingots could either be sold for a much higher price, or used to craft additional items.

Items that could be crafted with the ingots, diamonds, (and hopefully other precious gems in the future!):

- - Lean into the FP name and add some shiny upgrades!!

- Silver and Gold “plating”, it fits in the cosmetic slot for weapons and vehicles. Rather than just being purely cosmetic, it could buff loot quality drop perhaps.

- Leisure King Rings, new highest level knuckles weapon. Looks like a bunch of gold and diamond rings.

- THE Cane, new highest level club. I think you know what it looks like.

- Scepter, new highest level Spear. Ornate and tipped with a wicked looking diamond.

- Basically a gold and diamond version of each type of melee weapon. After all, I noticed most of the levels for them stopped at 75. This would let them go up to 100 and have a reasonable new end tier!

Gold and silver are much softer metals than steel. How can they do more damage?

Good thing it’s a video game right?

They don’t have to be entirely gold and silver, but rather encrusted with it, the core weapon still being made of steel. If you add diamonds into the mix, diamonds are in fact stronger. So I feel that it balances out. 
 

As far as progression goes it makes sense. After all, gold, silver, and diamonds are far more rare and hard to accumulate than iron and steel. It doesn’t have to make sense IRL.

Are they rare? Every time you go for resources, you get from 5 to 20 of each.

When I was pumping through strength, this was my main source of income.

More rare than clay and iron!

A conversion rate of 5 - 1, it very much is rarer than the alternatives.

He was referring to a weapon mod, not a mod for the game.

Ah good to know, my bad. Other conversations I’ve had recently just keep going back to “go find a mod that adds what you want”, so I assumed that is what he meant.

Im a console player, so idk exactly all the additions and changes PC has had through the years. Only know of what existed in old game, and what now exists in 1.0.

I mean there was the blessed metal mod. I think they should bring it back and make it craftable

What did this do? As a console player we never had access to this, so I’d like to know what they’ve done before.

It just did 10% more damage to the undead 

It looked like silver but Shiney. It was a dev item

I think 10% it's gone now and I play on console too

Cool, and spurs the idea for silver bullets… but I’ll worry about that when I’ve had time to think about it.

I think a mod using the precious metals would be better than bullets silver bullets would be such a pain to make unless you make them in bulk like in your hollow points in AP idea

I do like the mod idea, but I also like the actual ammunition idea of it too, but rather than be a flat damage increase against undead in general, I think it would need a more specific TYPE of enemy to be used against. Perhaps a new “Hellish” type of enemies. (The direwolves were supposed to be hell hounds from what I heard, so this could play into that too.)

A rework for preacher armor could be in that too.

Just ideas..
