I have tin tools that I want people to buy ,but they always want copper. Is there something I have to do to make them buy tin?

Edit - Version 0.0.9E The following information is outdated, This post was created Prior to Version 0.0.9E. Alloys have specific tier, And prices now, The mining and requesting info, in particular, is outdated and wrong.


Also please don't spam - You should delete the duplicate posts >.>

When you start the game, You have a Copper Hammer - And customers will only buy Copper.

When you get 500 copper coins - You should use that to make a new hammer, It'll make customers ask for almost every metal, but that will be better for the time being than needed to replace your hammer every tier. - Plus you get double production for the price of one.  - With the 500c, you can buy one tin ingot and then Toss that into your smelter and then toss a copper ingot in immediately after it -This will make two bronze ingots.

You can then make a Bronze hammer and customers will ask for Tin, But also Iron-Adamantine (and maybe Titanium) - A Bronze Pickaxe (1000C (so its cheaper to do bronze Pick than tin pick) can also get you I think Iron and Adelite veins. - So that too is an option.

If you already have Tin items - It's probably best to break their tool heads off and stick a few of them in the smelter - Then take the resulting tin ingots to get yourself the aforementioned bronze hammer and pickaxe - Then go get yourself the highest ore you can mine. And try to keep three of them at the ready

You can sell Anything underlevel. If a customer asks for Titanium, Sell him whatever you can make the most profit off of.

If they ask for a Shield but Copper tool/weapon - ignore the Copper and just make a shield of whatever you can make the most profit off of - Then Send them packing after you give them the shield - This way they don't get stuck, and you make the most bang for your buck.

If they ask for something more specific than Metal (uncommon grip and topspot hammer head for example) then you have to give them the metal tier they request - if you can't just dismiss them.

All Blade sizes can be sold as spears/polearms - The curved blade looks best on a polearm, with whatever guard you fancy. (Large Blade + any guard + Pole grip) (normal blade/Small blade + any guard (or none) + pole grip)

Don't bother trying to Pawn Bronze, Brass, or Steel items on customers - They've got no price/value for the ingots atm. And Customers will rarely (never that I've seen) ask for them specifically. - This are only really helpful for you.

A Tin hammer will force customers to buy tin or copper

an iron hammer - iron tin or copper

Alloy Bronze - A lot of them... Possibly All/Any

Alloy Steel - A lot (All)

Titanium - (All)

Adamantine - Adamantine or Lower (Never Titanium)

Mithril - Mith or Lower (Never Adama/Titan)

Adelite

Alloy Brass - A lot of them (possibly all)

thanks

i my self got all iron tools and iron tools to sell to my customers but they wont take it even if they don't ask for the grips and what not.

The tiers are coal/stone -> Copper -> Tin -> Bronze -> Zinc -> Brass -> Iron -> Steel -> Adelite -> Mithril -> Adamantine -> Titanium
(This info is accurate as of the current version at the time of this post, Version 0.0.9E)


You need to have a Hammer of TIER or higher (Higher just means it'll be a higher tier than whatever one is being mentioned) (example, Iron or higher to get iron requests)

To get TIER or lower requests
On REQUESTS only, non-specific you can upgrade ONE Tier
(Example: "I want a copper polearm and a round shield" -> Tin Polearm -> any shield (Could even be titanium, whatever your highest metal is, that you have 5 ingots of, should be what you make shields out of, AT LEAST IN VERSION 0.0.9E)
(Example: "I want a tin one hand sword, with an uncommon grip, an embossed blade, and an 1h guard v4" -> Must be Tin. Get a specificity bonus for having parts matching the request, but I don't think there's actually a trigger in place to prevent accepting the item if its not 100% exact, it just needs to be tin, I could be wrong, I don't botch enough orders to be sure)



To mine you need TIER or higher Pickaxe, no upgrades

To get requests you need TIER or higher Hammer, "No upgrades" on requests, specifically (They won't ask for Tin if you only have a copper hammer, but you can sell them tin for copper requests)

Sale can be upgraded by ONE TIER, or downgraded by unlimited TIERS, unless specified.
