Needs the full game In the free version skills stop at level 4, and this asks for Mining Mastery lv 5The full game is a one-time purchase inside the app (Full Game Unlock).

Wolframite-bearing deposit recognizable by its dense, dark crystalline structure. Tungsten extracted here produces the hardest carbides known, indispensable for armor-piercing cores, machining tools, and high-temperature filaments.

Codex entry

  1. Entry 1

    Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal at 3,422°C (6,192°F), enabling historic use in incandescent light bulb filaments and modern rocket engine nozzles.

  2. Entry 2

    Tungsten carbide, an alloy of tungsten and carbon, ranks among the hardest known materials and is used in cutting tools, drill bits, and armor-piercing kinetic penetrators.

  3. Entry 3

    Its older name "wolfram" (hence symbol W) comes from German "wolf rahm" meaning "wolf's froth" - miners named it this because tungsten ore consumed tin during smelting, devouring it like a wolf.
