Bronze

Bronze is an alloy formed by combining Copper and Tin Ingots, producing a metal that is significantly harder and more durable than either of its components alone. Its warm golden-brown hue and excellent castability made it humanity's first great metalworking achievement in the real world, and on Starsand Island it marks a pivotal step up from basic copper tools into true mid-tier equipment.

Bronze is used to craft a range of mid-tier tools, equipment, and machinery parts that demand more durability than copper allows. Unlocking the Bronze crafting chain typically represents a meaningful progression milestone — players who master copper and tin mining together will find Bronze production opening doors to a new tier of island capabilities.
