Vintage Story Alloy Calculator
Calculate valid alloy ratios, exact nugget counts, and ingot yield before you smelt. This calculator helps you plan bronze, bismuth bronze, black bronze, brass, solder, electrum, and other Vintage Story alloys without spreadsheet guesswork.
Supported alloys
The calculator covers the full in-game alloy set and keeps the most searched recipes visible: bronze, bismuth bronze, black bronze, brass, electrum, cupronickel, solder, and more.
Alloy ratio reference
Each alloy accepts a range of metal percentages. Use the table to compare valid compositions and melting points before placing metals in the crucible.
| Alloy | Composition | Melting point |
|---|---|---|
| Tin Bronze | Copper 88–92% · Tin 8–12% | 950 °C |
| Bismuth Bronze | Copper 50–70% · Zinc 20–30% · Bismuth 10–20% | 850 °C |
| Black Bronze | Copper 68–84% · Silver 8–16% · Gold 8–16% | 1020 °C |

How it works
Enter metals into the four crucible slots, adjust nugget amounts, and the tool checks whether the composition matches a valid alloy. It also shows exact unit totals, smelting thresholds, and suggested fixes for near-miss mixes.
Why use it
Vintage Story alloying is easy to miscalculate when you are juggling partial ingots, rare metals, and ratio ranges. This page is designed for quick crucible planning, yield optimization, and sanity checks before you commit resources.
FAQ
How do I calculate a valid alloy mix in Vintage Story?
Choose the metals you want in the crucible, enter nugget counts, and compare the resulting percentages with the valid ranges. This calculator does that instantly and highlights whether the mix is exact, close, or invalid.
