Tongs are used in Basic Metal Treatment. They allow the re-use of the Acid required to start the Metal Treatment process in a Chemical Bath.
Sources
Tongs are made in a Forge
Cost
- 18 gold plated Strontium (stainless, insulative, non toxic) purity 4+, taking 3 minutes to cool.
Uses
- Used to remove items from a Chemical Bath. Without tongs, you can only remove items by emptying the Acid from the bath.
Guide
There is no recipe for this item at the moment as the requirements are quite complicated (and all baths are different in the way they react), but the general strategy seems to be:
- Increase the purity of the Strontium by adding Salts of Strontium at the start (until the purity bar is completely full). This should take about 4 Salts of Strontium. This will, unfortunately, increase a couple of the stats that we're trying to decrease but there's not really any way around that. Watch purity every few dozen seconds of treatment to not go too low! Try to keep it on a high value!!
- Reduce the Corrosion, Conductivity and Toxicity stats in incremental stages using a combination of all the ingredients except Sulphur (which has high values for all these attributes).
- Once the three important attributes are all at zero (or as good as), start increasing the Plating attribute using first Salt, then Coal, then finally Arsenic in order to get the Plating attribute up to 56 before adding the Salts of Gold for plating. Keep the other three attributes at as low a level as possible by using Potash, Gravel and Cactus Sap.
- Once the Plating attribute is high enough (i.e., Arsenic doesn't raise it any further), start adding Salts of Gold, but keep the other three attributes low enough. This should take about 2-5 Salts of Gold.
Once the Plating Attribute reads 'Plated', you can go ahead and take your treated metal!
