Materials (Tinkers' Construct)

This article is in need of a clean-up. You can help the wiki by cleaning up the article. Reason: Add subpages for new materials. Add infos of the new version.

Materials

All of the Tools or Weapons in Tinkers' Construct can be made from a variety of Materials.
For the full list of available materials in your version of the game, please check the ingame documentation. A book called "Materials and You", crafted in the following way:

^1. These metal parts must be crafted in the Smeltery.

^3. To acquire a tool with this ability at least one part must be of this material.
^4. Trait available in 1.7.10 version.
^5. A tool made fully out of this material has the unbreakable modifier.

Material Traits

Depending on what Material is used in crafting will give the result different traits.

• Stonebound - The tool mines faster as it wears out, but does less damage.
• Reinforced - 10% chance per level of not losing durability on use.
• Jagged - The tool does more damage as it wears out, but mines more slowly.
• Writable - One extra modifier per piece.
• Slimy - Appears to have a chance to spawn slimes when you break a block with the tool.
• Thaumic - One extra modifier for using a single piece, two extra for using at least 3 pieces or by making it entirely from thaumium in the event the tool you make has 2 components (e.g. a shovel or a hatchet).
• Tasty - Has a chance to drop bacon.

Notes on Traits

• The tool head determines the material needed to repair the tool.
• Any component can contribute a trait, regardless of whether or not it otherwise affects any of the statistics of the tool.
• Traits do not stack, except for Writable and Thaumic, as above.
• The durability of basic tools is determined by the head material, and is modified by the handle material. The binding has no effect on durability.
• The speed of basic tools is determined only by the head material.
• The durability and speed of advanced tools are affected by each part. Specific information on this can be found on the Tools page.
• Specific information on weapon damage can be found on the Weapons page.

Bows

Shortbows

The Durability of the tool can be determined with the equation: (<Left Limb Durability> + <Right Limb Durability>) x 0.75 x <Bowstring Durability Modifier>
The Arrow Speed of the tool can be determined with the equation: (<Left Limb Arrow Speed> + <Right Limb Arrow Speed>) x 0.5 x <Bowstring Arrow Speed Modifier>
The Draw Speed of the tool can be determined with the equation: (<Left Limb Draw Speed> + <Right Limb Draw Speed>) x 0.45 x <Bowstring Draw Speed Modifier>

For example, a shortbow made from a stone bow limb, flint bow limb, and bowstring results in a shortbow with a durability of 226, a draw speed of 4.05 seconds, and an arrow speed of 1.
With Tinkers' Construct bows, Arrow Speed directly relates to the damage the arrow deals - a bow with an Arrow Speed of 5.2 will deal 5 hearts of damage at full power.

A bow construction can be very difficult. Before you make one, it is advised that you think about what you are going to use the bow for (long range, fast reload, great damage), and, from there, carefully choose your materials to assemble your bow and arrows. (equation that takes everything into consideration : bow --> durability*arrow speed/draw speed ; arrow --> durability*attack damage/weight/break chance ; the highest results are the best)

Fiery Bowstring	1.2x	1.1x	1.2x	- 4

^1. These metal parts must be crafted in the Smeltery.
^2. To acquire a tool with this ability at least one part must be of this material.
^3. While the Enchanted Bowstring shows having a 1x durability modifier, it actually seems to apply a 0.5x modifier to the tool. (FTB Infinity)
^4. While the Fiery Bowstring shows having no Material Abilities, it actually seems to apply Reinforced I to the tool. (FTB Infinity)

Arrows

Using an arrow with a flint arrowhead, a wooden shaft, and a feather fletching, the stats of the arrow are 1.0 hearts of damage, a weight of 2.33, and an accuracy of 91%.

The Attack Damage of the arrow is decided purely by the Arrow Head.

The amount of Ammo you get with an arrow is determined by dividing the Durability by 10, and rounding up. (For example, a Flint arrowhead with 171 Durability will have 18 ammo, while an Iron arrowhead with 250 Durability will have 25 ammo.)

The total Break Chance can be determined with the equation: (<Shaft Break Chance> x <Arrowhead Break Chance>) + <Fletching Break Chance>. The Break Chance occurs when the arrow hits a block - the arrow will always break when it hits a mob.

The Weight of the arrow is decided by the arrowhead and shaft only, and determines how fast the arrow falls when fired. Heavier arrows fall faster, and are thus more difficult to use.

Crossbows

Crossbows are ranged weapons that fire bolts rather than arrows. While they can take longer to fire than a shortbow, crossbows are reloaded without holding a mouse button and a loaded crossbow can be stored, ready to fire later. Crossbow bolts also ignore an amount of armor based on their weight - the heavier the bolt, the greater the armor penetration.

Notes on Crossbow Construction

• The crossbow body part serves as the weapon's handle and applies the handle modifier to durability.
• The crossbow limb part serves as the weapon's head and determines base durability, base damage, draw speed, and arrow speed.
• A fiery bowstring makes a crossbow reload slower (1.1x draw time) and fire with more force (1.2x arrow speed). It also adds Reinforced I.
• An enchanted bowstring makes a crossbow reload faster (0.8x draw time) and fire with slightly less force (0.9x arrow speed). It also adds another modification slot, though this currently displays as "Stonebound".

^2. To acquire a tool with this ability at least one part must be of this material.

Bolts

Bolts are the ammunition for crossbows. They're made from bolt cores and fletching. A bolt core is made by placing a tool rod of the desired material on the casting table and then pouring molten iron over it. Like arrows, bolts have an ammo count instead of durability.

Notes on Bolt Construction

• All bolts have a base of 2 modifier slots instead of the 3 of most other tools.
• The greater a bolt's weight, the greater its armor penetration and the shorter its flight distance. This is also modified by the arrow speed of the crossbow.
• All bolts have a listed Attack value of 1 Heart. Your actual damage will depend on the arrow speed of the crossbow, the weight of the bolt, and modifiers.
• Bolts' accuracy is determined by its fletching; fletching also influences final ammo count and break chance.
