20 tin ore = 1 tin bar

[ZoHollow]

This must be bugged right? Felt like I got insanely scammed by farming 100 tin ores to then only get 5 bars.

20 copper ores = 10 copper bars - Makes alot more sense.

Yeah not sure if its possible to get the iron without the bronze tool cause i heard if its 2 tiers apart the lower one can't harvest that. I got all the gathering perks since i'm max lvl now and its easy to gather anything now with iron tools.

Can always try and get someone to craft you a set of iron tools too as well

It's not that bad. 3 tin bars = 10 bronze bars, and you don't really need a ton of bronze. I don't think I spent more time mining tin than any of the other metals, and I ended up having WAY more bronze than I will ever use when I transitioned to iron.

Ah this actually makes sense, didn't think of that, cheers!

Its still a joke, tbh.
20 Copper ore = 10 Copper Bars
20 Tin ore = 1 Tin Bar?
10 Bronze Bar = 7 Copper Bar + 3 Tin Bar

To get 40 Bronze Bars you need 240 Tin ore but only 54 Copper Ore?
Like WHY would the game make us farm so much of such an obsolete ressource?

You answered your own question.

The reason you need to farm so much tin is because of how little usage it has, other than bronze bars it's basically nothing. So if it had the same conversion rate.. you could mine it heavily once and then never touch it again once you moved to bronze. It feels like a way to pigeonhole you into needing to farm it as much as anything else, so that you spend time obtaining it rather than getting and then moving on for good.

If that's your only gripe with the game I'd say they're doing pretty good.

Yeah once your past bronze tier for me iron tier was easier since it only needs one source

Ridgeback Mine to the far Southeast quadrant of the map. It's in an area that requires you to be at Flame Altar Level 5.

It makes sense if they are trying to simulate the real world's relative scarcity of tin and the motivation for adopting iron. Iron is much more abundant than tin which, required a vast trade network to supply it in the ancient world, so once ancient societies figured out how to smelt iron it rapidly replaced bronze for military and everyday use.

How do you the represent scarcity of ore in a game world where an ore vein will respawn every time someone quits to the title screen? You raise the costs associated with processing that ore, or you make the ore itself much slower to mine. I think they went with the former option.

Now having said that, the total effort that went into mining copper and tin in this game was much less than going through the bronze age in a game like Valheim if you wanted to fully deck yourself out before moving on.

There is actually nothing wrong with this at all.

Tin, of all resources is the most annoying resource in the world lol. When you mine it, and you have the ore, it literally melts down to almost nothing. Working with Tin is the dumbest thing in the world but necessary.

Imho, yeah, 20 Tin seems legit. If they wanted to be real and tech then i'd say about 800 giant chunks of tin ore = 1 ingot lol. Thats the actuality of it.
