1. What is the Alloy Ratio?

The Alloy Ratio is a calculated value used in Vintage Story game to determine the properties of custom metal alloys. It represents the weighted average of property values based on the mass composition of different metals in the alloy.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the alloy ratio formula:

\[ \text{Alloy Ratio} = \frac{\sum (\text{Metal Mass} \times \text{Property Weight})}{\text{Total Mass}} \]

Where:

\( \text{Metal Mass} \) — Mass of each metal component in grams
\( \text{Property Weight} \) — Property weight value for each metal (unitless)
\( \text{Total Mass} \) — Sum of all metal masses in the alloy
\( \sum \) — Summation of all metal mass × property weight products

Explanation: The formula calculates a weighted average where each metal's contribution is proportional to its mass and property weight in the final alloy.

3. Importance of Alloy Calculation

Details: Accurate alloy ratio calculation is crucial for creating custom metal alloys with desired properties in Vintage Story. Different ratios produce alloys with varying durability, strength, and other characteristics that affect gameplay performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the mass of each metal in grams and their corresponding property weights. All values must be positive numbers (mass > 0, property weight ≥ 0). The calculator supports multiple metal components for complex alloy calculations.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are typical property weight values in Vintage Story?
A: Property weights vary by metal type and desired property. Common values range from 0.5 to 2.0 for different metal characteristics like durability, sharpness, or flexibility.

Q2: Can I calculate alloys with more than 2 metals?
A: Yes, the formula extends to any number of metals. Simply sum the (mass × weight) products for all metals and divide by total mass.

Q3: What does the alloy ratio actually represent in-game?
A: The ratio determines the final properties of crafted items - higher ratios typically indicate better performance for that specific property in the resulting alloy.

Q4: Are there minimum/maximum ratio values?
A: While there's no hard limit, ratios typically range between the minimum and maximum property weights of the constituent metals used in the alloy.

Q5: How accurate do my measurements need to be?
