it also counts as a metal ore, so if you have a settler or settler apogean minor card in effect in your abeyance realm you can "clone" it. Just smelt it into ingots, then make buttons, then make reclaimed ingots from the buttons.

Settler gives a 1.5 yield on crafted metal items (both the buttons and reclaimed ingots). Be aware that if you stand there with the crafting station open, you auto collect each finished item and no bonus will go into effect. It rounds down fractions, so 1 times 1.5 = 1. If you wait for the whole batch to finish, you get the 1.5 on the final results. 10 becomes 15, 20 becomes 30, etc. The bonus is given when you remove it from the crafting station. You could even run over and add a settler card after a batch finished, take it out after the minor card is in effect, and get the bonus.

If you have settler apogean, it's times 2.0, so no fractions. Take out finished batches, individual, doesn't matter.

dont use settler card use industry. give 2x the ingots. better than 1.5

This part did not age well; no longer true . . . (not your fault of course, but I wonder how many places we are going to have to correct, sigh....)
