Note: Metal treatment values have changed drastically in T8.

The goal of metal treatment is to impart certain attributes to the metal placed in a chemical bath. For example, treating metal with cactus sap will increase its corrosion resistance, and will decrease its strength.

The closer a substance's values are to the current values of the metal being treated, the greater the effect it will have. For example, cactus sap has a corrosion value of 72 (corrosion-proof). A metal whose corrosion value is 50 will respond much more quickly to cactus sap than a metal whose corrosion value is 12. It will take much more sap to move the second metal's corrosion value. Treating metal efficiently may require using multiple substances with values close to the current value of the metal, rather than dumping tons of one substance into the tank.
