Ceralloy ore

[plaete]

Ceralloy ore is a manufactured blend of ceramic and metals.

Doesn't that mean it is like made by humans or something? If so, why can you mine it from asteroids?

Good catch.

I originally envisioned Ceralloy as a manufactured blend--but then I needed more kinds of ore (for mining and such) and I added Ceralloy ore (among others).

So there are a couple of ways we can fix this:

1. Remove the reference to "manufactured" in the description of Ceralloy ore. I'm leaning towards this solution, because it is the simplest.

2. Rename ceralloy ore to something else (perhaps "cerenium ore" named after the asteroid Ceres). "Cerenium ore" is a precursor metal used in the manufacture of "ceralloy".

i'm for the 1.

I'd go for number two. You might consider renaming duralloy while you're at it. Anything with 'alloy' in the name shouldn't really be mineable, but should instead have precursor metals.

Duraluminum ore (means in Romanian the hard aluminum used to make planes and so), or maybe, durallite?

Go for the creationism/intelligent design option

Domina (a god?) manufactured ceralloy on the 14th week of creation...

Don't forget Bill Gates (The b-a-s tard! Why did he create what he did! iPods are just boxes that hold errors.)



Soon she became bored again. "Dangit. Now they are trying to make peace."
And thus, the Atom Bomb was created, and soon after, the F-bomb (F*** da police!)

wow....

Getting back on topic...

I think #1 would be the best solution since it is an easy fix as well as it wouldn't confuse the nubes when taking the ore to the tinkers. It'd still have the same name.

[Cardinal]

I'm for 1 also, really.

[Ttech]

Agreed
