## Properties

### RAD/s

N/A

**Meteorite** is a special material with many niche uses. It is a naturally occurring "alloy" that can be made artifically, similarly to Starmetal.

Meteorite has two forms: an extremely hard but very brittle "raw" or "natural" form (fragments), as well as a refined form (ingots, etc.), which is considerably more durable, being on a par with Desh.

Below is a list of all Meteorite-related items and blocks:

* Chiseled Meteor Pillar
* Cracked Meteor Bricks
* Forged Meteorite Ingot
* Meteor Block
* Meteor Bricks
* Meteorite Blade
* Meteorite Block
* Meteorite Fragment
* Meteorite Ingot
* Meteorite Powder
* Meteorite Sword
* Meteor Pillar
* Mossy Meteor Bricks
* Polished Meteor Block
* Tiny Pile of Meteorite Powder

## Production

**Meteorite fragments** can be acquired from fallen Meteors or Meteor Dungeons.

A **Meteorite Block** can be made in an assembly machine using exactly 100 meteorite fragments. It's vital to the creation of **Meteorite Ingots**, which can be made by blasting a Meteorite Block with a Cobalt ingot in a Blast Furnace.

The said ingots can be turned into **Forged Meteorite Ingots** by smelting them via a furnace, then combining them in a Tier 3+ anvil while they're still hot.

Next up are **Meteorite Blades**, which are produced using the same method as described above, except with forged ingots instead of regular ones.

A powder variant of meteorite exists, although it doesn't work like most other powders and can't be smelted into an ingot, similarly to Iodine Powder.

The **Meteorite Powder** can be conceived by mixing Uranium, Tungsten, Lithium, Iron, and Copper powders together in a crafting table (the recipe is shapeless), combining 9 Tiny Piles of Meteorite Powder or shredding any of the following blocks:

* Polished Meteor Block (equals 1 powder)
* Mossy Meteor Bricks (equals 1 powder)
* Chiseled Meteor Pillar (equals 1 powder)
* Meteor Pillar (equals 1 powder)
* Cracked Meteor Bricks (equals 1 powder)
* Meteor Bricks (equals 1 powder)
* Meteor Block (equals 10 powder)

## Uses

**Meteorite Fragments** can be used to make various block forms of meteorite, all of which have high blast resistance. Most importantly, they can be used to create Meteorite Blocks (100 fragments = 1 block).

**Meteorite Blocks** can be turned into **Meteorite Ingots**, otherwise they don't have any use aside from decoration. Meteorite Ingots can be used to craft a Meteorite Anvil, which can be done by combining a Tier 1 anvil with 10 Meteorite Ingots in a Tier 2+ anvil. They are also an intermediary step to the creation of **Forged Meteorite Ingots**, that are vital in the process of creating Fau Armor, certain armor inserts and **Meteorite Blades**.

Meteorite Blades are used to make the Meteorite Sword. A single Meteorite Blade is comprised of 2 Forged Meteorite Ingots, which is 4 Meteorite Ingots in total. Therefore, one would need 8 Meteorite Ingots (along with other ingredients) to conceive a Meteorite Sword. This is equivalent to 800 Meteorite Fragments.

Lastly, **Meteorite Powder** is primarily used to make Starmetal, but can also be acidized to make fragments, although it's best to acquire fragments straight from a fallen meteor.

## Trivia

* Since all the blocks only usually drop 1 fragment regardless of how many fragment equivalents they're made of, we can assume that raw Meteorite is extremely brittle.
	+ Cobalt seems to fix this issue, though it greatly reduces the volume of the overall material to merely one ingot.
* Since full blocks blasted with Cobalt only make ingots and those ingots may be fused together, Forged Meteorite is presumably extraordinarily dense. The fact Meteorite Swords are unbreakable also back this up.
