Have you posted this on the reddit? This seems like the type of thing that would get a permanent link there. There's likely a good place for it on the wiki somewhere.

Great job, I will clearly use it.
 I think something to know which metal is better for which object can also be useful. (especially for weapons and armor)

Here at Bay12 we excel at Theoretical Biology. Need to know the value of Merbone? Check. Need to know the density of a thrown Fluffy Wambler? Check. Need to know how a walking Mushroom can theoretically talk? Check.

Simply amazing! This should be linked on the wiki but I'm not sure how to do that or if you wish to share it in that fashion.
