Melting items - mc2=?

(1/13) > >>

andris-berzins:
When melting items most of metal just disapear. Following mc2=E there should (doing melting) be nuclear blast.  :) Its very inefficient recycling!!! I was so disappointed about this that stopped playing DF. 1 ton of steel swords = 1 ton of steel bars! Not 1 ton of steel swords = 0.3? ton of steel bars.

Helmaroc:
They don't disappear. They become 1 3rd of whatever the object was made of. i.e. something that took one bar to make, and you melted three you'd get one bar after melting the third.

andris-berzins:
and where 2/3 of material?
I have 100 bars of steel. I make swords and melt them and so on ... and end up without steel. ?

wallish:
You stop playing because of a lapse in general relativity yet the perpetual motion machines or even the MYTHICAL creatures and UNDEAD/SKELETAL monsters fail to phase you?

Align:
The other thirds are lost in the process due to spilling and the re-smelting polluting some of the metal or whatever.
