Revision 4

Bronze Ingot is the first alloy in Starsand Island. It is produced at the Furnace by combining Copper Ingot, Tin Ingot, and Charcoal. Bronze gates the Junior tier of tool upgrades and appears in many mid-game crafting and station recipes.

Smelting Recipe

Both component ingots are smelted at Furnace I, so the full Bronze chain runs entirely on Tin Ore, Copper Ore, and Charcoal produced from the Charcoal Kiln. The chain unlocks during the early Crafter Profession questline.

Major Uses

• Junior tool upgrades. Several Junior-tier tools consume Bronze Ingot in their recipes, including the Machete (3 Bronze) and the Impact Hammer (3 Bronze).

• Furnace II upgrade. The Furnace II upgrade lists Bronze among its key materials (5 Bronze), unlocking Iron and Gold smelting.

• Mid-game crafting stations. Several Crafting Stations require Bronze in their construction, including textile and fabrication stations.

• Bronze-derived components. Bronze appears in vehicle, weapon, and decoration recipes throughout the Junior and Intermediate tiers.

Production Strategy

• Mine Tin and Copper together. Both ores spawn in the same surface and early Moonlit Forest zones. Take every Copper and Tin node during early forest passes to avoid backtracking.

• Run two Furnaces in parallel. One Furnace smelting Copper Ingots and another smelting Tin Ingots cuts the Bronze production cycle roughly in half.

• Stockpile Charcoal continuously. Each Bronze Ingot needs three Charcoal units across the Tin smelt, Copper smelt, and Bronze alloy step. Run multiple Charcoal Kilns to keep up.

• Plan around the Furnace II upgrade. Furnace II takes 5 Bronze plus other materials. Have at least 8 to 10 Bronze in storage before starting that upgrade questline.

Tips

• Bronze is a persistent bottleneck. Junior tools and Furnace II compete for Bronze. Plan a stockpile of 15 to 20 Bronze before committing to any single upgrade.

• Tin is the rate-limiter. Tin Ore is less abundant than Copper, especially deep in the forest. Stockpile Tin aggressively whenever you find it.
