the shadow manipulator should also need 3 golden nuggets. Where else the character would get the gold things in the "corners" of the gem. and alchemy engine would need iron, which could be find as metallic coloured rocks as commonly as golden rocks in a rock biome. The iron would also be very common underground, and you would need 4 iron nuggets to craft an iron bar, which 4 of those would be used on the alchemy engine. Iron would also be used for heavy armour, which would be: iron helmet= 5 iron bars, 2 ropes and a pig skin. as durable as the marble suit and gives a little bit more protection than the football helmet. Iron suit= 9 iron bars, 5 ropes and 4 flint(for spikes maybe? or then just for look) it would slow you down like the marble suit, have the same durability but give more armour rating. Iron would also be used for stronger tools and weapons: Iron sword= 3 iron bars, 1 rope and 2 twigs. Almost as much dmg as the tentacle spike and a little bit more durable than a spear. Iron pickaxe= 2 iron bars, 1 rope and 2 twigs. Slower then a normal pickaxe but more damage than a golden one and almost as durable as gold. Iron axe= 1 iron bar, 1 rope and a twig. same stats as the pickaxe but more damage. Iron shovel= 2 iron bars, 1 rope and 3 twigs. Same stats as a pickaxe but does less damage. The iron bars would need a science machine to craft, and the tools an alchemy engine. The armour and the sword would need a shadow manipulator though
