Cutting Gems

[ProudConservative]

Is there a way to cut gems in half like you can with bars? I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Why would you? Its a gem.. Either don't compress them use them as is.

I was just thinking maybe you get more by making more than one necklace versus just one that's all.

You can cut with Table Saw mod.

A necklace of 1000w cut into 10 pieces of 100 is still 1000w of a necklace.

Cutting up gems or bars really isn't efficient.

I figured, the only way I would see doing that now is if I wanna use all 4 gems...one in each piece.

The only time I ever really cut resources was when I was working on the blueprints and every bit of Cloutium is precious. Otherwise, yeah, resource numbers aren't otherwise of much importance by themselves.

Do note, that if you're talking about using Cloutium in the Forge at Icehelm, you get back the unused portion of the Cloutium. So if you're making a T2 Miner (1000 Iron, 300 Cloutium) and you place more than the necessary amount in the Smelting Pot at the Forge, anything in excess of the 1k Iron and 300 Cloutium will be output to the lower left of the Forge, with ZERO loss. Place 301 weight Cloutium in the Pot, and you'll get a 1 weight Cloutium Bar back, etc. The same is true for Iron.

but if I am in a situation where I have a ruby ​​pressed with a weight of 1000 for example but I need to do a mission that asks for a ruby ​​ring that only uses 10 ruby ​​weight, what is better, make the ring with the 1000 weight ruby ​​and throw money away or cut the ruby ​​until it has the right weight

Buy the Gem Chisel in Bridgepour. It's on the table with all the other tools, on the right.
Functions the same as the saw, but for gems.
