Adding a new machine purchasable at the oak depot, the alloyer or alloy machine or something.
2 Slots, one for each kind of metal, could make alloys based on what you put in, or combine 2 ingots of the same material, up to a maximum size.
With the chisels ability to cut metals, it would be pretty easy to cut down metals so they fit in the machine.
There could be all the common alloys, bronze, brass, steel, electrum, as well as some new ones with the unique materials in Oaklands, such as some glowing variants of materials that are combined with uranium, or maybe just more color palette options in general.
Combining ash trees with iron to make steel would be interesting, or allowing the making of carbonized wood that is put into the refinery
And who knows, maybe there could be some rare alloys that are used in crafting later down the line.
I think that this would add a lot more value to searching for specific metals, for other reasons that to just refine and sell, and a lot of content for players to experiment with and discover new alloys.
#Concept for alloying of metals

i think some dev said that two different textures don't mix so adding alloy is a huge work but is nice idea.
half crane
well an alloy is a new material, not just 2 mixed together, so there would be completely new textures
brazen valve
yes, that might make devs work a lot because there are various ores mixing witheact other makes a lot of combinations
so they would need to come up with a lot of new textures
half crane
yah its not a small idea lol, it would be a big update, probably implemented and added to over a very long time
brazen valve
but really nice idea

yah i think that it would be awesome to have a lot more in depth metal system
and would make mining a lot of fun

texture mixing is unrelated, with alloying you can just add new blocks to the game for building or usage without adding even more ores diluting pool I think this is def gonna come in just question is when

Yeah, just make a color and have the texture just be metal, unless it’s a special alloy

yep
can be whatever I would like plastic which u can "alloy" XD together making different flat color only textures like quartz

yah i think it would be a great way to add new colors to the pallette, and a good way to add more value to grinding for metal

Nickel would be a good one for down in the caves
adding more content to the caves in general would be awesome since the only point to go down there rn is the button, and then the lava caves

white thunder
Greyslate: Darkslate + Lightslate. Has a color between those 2, can be refined (concrete texture) and forged (cobblestone texture)

combining rocks would be sick, and add more colors to the palette

sometimes the simplest combinations can add so much

Wowee we need alloys
