Gold is a rare but very useful vanilla resource used by NTM for a variety of applications, notably electronics, circuitry, and magnets.

Production

Mineral Deposits

Gold generates rarely in Y levels below 32.

Processing

Smelting

Gold ore or crystals can be smelted in a furnace to produce 1 ingot from ore, and 2 from crystals. A shredder can be used to obtain 2 gold powder by shredding ore, and 3 powder by shredding crystals. The powder can then be smelted into ingots.

Foundry Processing

Ore can be melted in a crucible into 2 ingots of molten gold, with a secondary product of 3 nuggets of molten lead, and a stone byproduct.

Melting lead ore yields a secondary product of 1 nugget of molten gold.
