Chromite node

Coal-black crystalline pockets nestled in greenish host rock, easily mistaken for low-grade iron until the pickaxe rings differently. The chromium locked inside is what separates rust from resistance.

The game guide says the tool tier gates the resource tier. “Enough” compares the tool grade with this resource tier (T1).

Codex entry

  1. Entry 1

    Chromite (FeCr2O4) is the sole commercial ore of chromium, essential for stainless steel, superalloys, chrome plating, and refractories, with no substitute in stainless steel.

  2. Entry 2

    In 1913 Harry Brearley in Sheffield, England discovered that adding roughly 13% chromium to steel produced an alloy that resisted rust - the world's first stainless steel.

  3. Entry 3

    The name "chromium" derives from the Greek word "chroma" meaning color, because nearly all chromium compounds display vivid colors: greens, reds, oranges, and yellows.
