Tungsten node
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.

The game guide says the tool tier gates the resource tier. “Enough” compares the tool grade with this resource tier (T2).
Codex entry
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
