These are ratios of mass, not of moles or volume. While this measuring method is faithful to real-world metallurgy, the recipes themselves are simplified (or totally different) from their real counterparts. |

| Steel || 75% iron + 25% carbon || mostly iron + < 2.2% carbon + others || Real steel comes in many varieties for different purposes, all with different iron-carbon ratios and additives. Stainless steel, tool steel, and spring steel name just a few wide classes. | | Steel || 75% iron + 25% carbon || mostly iron + < 2.2% carbon + others || Real steel comes in many varieties for different purposes, all with different iron-carbon ratios and additives.

| Solder || 50% iron + 50% lead || varies || In the real world, "solder" describes many different materials that are very different from one another in composition. They all melt at low temperatures, solidify at room temperature, and are used to bond objects together, but the varieties used for electrical circuits, plumbing parts, and jewelry are each tailored for their applications. "Classic" solder is a mixture of lead and ''tin'', but modern solder often contains no lead (as it's toxic). Iron is not a typical solder ingredient. (However, the tool used to melt and apply solder is generally called an "iron", whatever it's made of.) | | Solder || 50% iron + 50% lead || varies || In the real world, "solder" describes many different materials that are very different from one another in composition.

| − | + | The total count of the ore units output from a [[Centrifuge]] always equals the mass in grams of the mix put in. This is '''not faithful'''<sup>[verification needed]</sup>, because all ores in the game explicitly include impurities. The implication is that the Centrifuge somehow reintroduces the original impurities, and in fact this can be exploited to create those impurities from nothing, if you find them useful. | |
