Meteorite

This page refers to the material, to see the mechanic that causes falling rocks from space to spawn (primarily made of this material), see: Meteors.

Meteorite is a special material with many niche uses. It is a naturally occurring "alloy" that can be artificially made, similar to Starmetal. It has two forms, a "raw" form, which while extremely hard, is also extremely brittle. Its refined form is much more durable, on levels reaching Desh.

Production
Meteorite fragments and sometimes blocks can be acquired from fallen Meteors or harvesting a Meteor Dungeon.

Meteorite powder is made by mixing Uranium, Tungsten, Lithium, Iron, and Copper powder together.

Its more refined form (in ingots) is made by blasting a full meteorite block (not cobble or broken) with a Cobalt ingot in a Blast Furnace.

Uses
Fragments can be used to make various block forms of meteorite, all of which have high blast resistance. They can also be shredded into tiny powders.

Powder is primarily used to make Starmetal, but can also be acidized to make fragments.

Meteorite ingots have no particular use, rather they're an intermediary step to make Forged Meteorite ingots.

Forged Meteorite ingots can be used to make Fau Power Armor, an armor insert, and to then make Meteorite Blades.

Meteorite Blades are used to make the Meteorite Sword's first level.

Trivia

 * Since all the blocks only usually drop 1 fragment regardless of how many fragment equivalents they're made of, we can assume that raw Meteorite is extremely brittle.
 * Cobalt seems to fix this issue, though it greatly reduces the volume of the overall material.
 * Since full blocks blasted with Cobalt only make ingots and those ingots may be fused together, Forged Meteorite is presumably extraordinarily dense.
