Alloy

Alloy is a refined composite metal produced by combining multiple base metals at a smelter on Starsand Island. The concept of alloying — mixing two or more metals to produce a material superior to its components — has been the foundation of metallurgical progress for millennia. On the island, Alloy represents a general-purpose composite metal used across many mid-tier crafting recipes that require superior strength or specific material properties.

Alloy is called for in a broad range of crafting recipes — tools, machinery, and structural components — that need a balanced, multi-metal material rather than a single pure metal. Players who advance through the island's crafting tiers will find alloy appearing as a common ingredient across many workbench recipes, making it a material worth producing in consistent quantities.
