what does tungsten ore do?

[STOP ADANI]

what does it do what can you make from the material?

[Aragon]

The best doors ingame.

[Seanieboy]

The ore, once smelted allowed u to get tungsten ingots which are only able to be crafted unto the tungsten doors, the best doors in game. This is currently the only item that is available to be crafted with tungsten and it requires 8 ingots.

[Caphead]

also the ugliest doors in game

[Aragon]

Well...ugly but very stable. Thats the key.
:)

[Deez tings]

can the ore be mined in 7.11? and where

[CALVINOPOLIS]

really deep.

[Johnman]

Dude, they are not ugly doors, they look space-age....cool.

Just build around them and put nicer looking doors in front and behind...

The tungston ore is in with the rest of the ore but its usually in 1 ore to a few maybe 3 or 4 ore units and it is very very rare but harder than hell to break, when you find it you will know cause it will have this wierd metal line pattern similiar to a stretched texture and it will take a lot of hits to mine it.

one of mine tungston doors bugged out and locked by itself and i couldnt unlocked it so i had to break it down with a pick and it gave me back one piece of ore and it took like 8 to make it lol

I'd consider that a bug, should at least get half the ore back. Maybe all of the ore back, they prob have a reason for it but I can't think of it at the moment.

Plus lead ore forge weight is like 24 pounds and is rediculously plentiful and Tungston ore is ultra rare and the forge weight is only 6 pounds. I think based on how hard the tungston metal is to break it would have to be more dense metal and threfore weigh more than lead, so I think the fun pimps contrived weigh make no sense at all for these metals. Solution to this is since lead is heavy it should also be harder to break if its going to weigh so much. Lead should have lower forge weight. Up tungton to 12 pounds since its so darn rare so we can at least get half a door out of a piece of ore.

you have no clue what you are talking about. Lead is heavy yes but lead is also a soft metal.

I agree that Tungsten should weigh more.

Steel has a Density of 7850 - hardness of 700 or close to that
Tungsten has a Density of 19600 and is stronger then steel. Hardness of 1400

Tungsten is a complicated metal as well. i am not getting in to that

[Ex-Mørtis]

Tungsten is hard...but when put close to its ductile point due to strain, instead of stretching or bending, tungsten SHATTERS LIKE GLASS. Hard doesn't necissarily mean better. It's a terribad metal by itself and only real useful as a carbide...while its useful in radiation shielding and in bullets with a high penetration rating as a substitute for depleted uranium, using it for doors seems silly. But hey its a game, its not meant to be realistic.

thanks for the replies and i found some of the ore digging a tunnel from the logging area in the snow biome to diersville at bedrock...... only 4 ore

[Johnman]

Sounds about right
Tunnel for about 10km, mine probably 10,000 stone and find 4 special ore
