Adds some fun new crafting materials to RimWorld! Specifically, the goal was to create building materials that all feel overtuned, though not utterly overpowered. They each have their own flaws, niches, etc. These can be acquired by deep mining, and some from smelting down raid gear. Or, you know, download one of those mods allowing you to buy modded materials.
Inspired by "Future Metals" by UndefinedT. That hasn't been updated for a while, and I decided to try my hand at my own materials mod. First mod I've made. Let me know if anything needs fixing, of course. I think it should be compatible with just about whatever, since it simply adds some materials?
Hihiirokane: Pretty, and makes crazy good bladed weapons. Just, uh, don't get it near fire. Inspired by the mythical Japanese metal, which pops up in Final Fantasy games and such. Katana mod, anyone?
Rupthenium: Valuable, great for trade and storing $$$, but rather useless for anything else. Not to mention garish. It's a capitalism joke, you see. And a Star Trek reference: (-p)latinum, ru(+p)thenium, get it? You don't have to, its fine, sometimes you gotta do things for your own amusement.
Verdigris: A weighty, sturdy metal. Same as from the Elden Ring DLC.
Mythral: The best all-around material of the bunch. The only real drawbacks are that it's pricey, and no good for bludgeoning weapons. I don't need to explain the reference to you, I'm sure. The original reference, anyway - the aluminum/platinum bit is an in-joke that precisely three other people in the world will understand.
Petrifite: Tired of wood being weak and flammable? You're welcome! Name and color based on petricite from the Runeterra setting, even though I don't play LoL.
Opalate: No specific reference, I just like opal. If I were *really* trying to make opal then it should be rather delicate, but I have control over the numbers and nobody can stop me.
Lavenderstone: It's a rock. It's lavender. That's it. But isn't that enough?
Hope you enjoy :D
