What’s organic iron?
SandmanXC@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Same as iron but costs 30% more
Engywuck@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
The correct answer here.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 2 weeks ago
Doesnt exist. Some metals can form organometallic complexes (with CO, CN, methyl groups), in which case you get for instance “organic mercury” compounds. Iron can also do that, but that’s not what theyre talking about here.
What they mean is “biogenic” iron. The snail precipitates dissolved iron and sulfur in the water to form its shell out of iron sulfide. Its a different physical structure, but chemically similar to iron pyrite (fools gold).

Iron sulfide, pyrite, greigite.
My favorites from this rabbit hole: “imbricating chitinous sclerites” and “conchiolin”.

Wait GregTech has its own iron ores in real life now as well‽

organic iron plates, not plates of organic iron.
the plates are generated by an organic process, not out of organic materials.
you can’t just remove a word from the context and act as if that doesn’t change the meaning.

Makes sense, thanks

Well, I’m not a native english speaker and the title seemed at least misleading.
DoYouNot@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Hazarding a guess, but I think it’s referring to something like “the biologically mediated reduction of iron”.
Engywuck@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
I’d have guessed iron+carbon, instead (so, steel).
TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 2 weeks ago
Wikipedia says it’s iron sulfide. I’m not sure that’s organic.
Engywuck@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Yeah, no.

When we figure out economic lab grown meat I’d like to try a startup that makes organic alloys.

Do you think its Iron Skin is time-based or should I just mod for ability strength?
latenightnoir@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Oh, Ability Strength, definitely! Slap an Ironclad Charge on there, and you’ll start a global iron deficit!
But, uuh… I think these wee buddies would also need a significant Sprint boost:))

In case you’re wondering what the hell is meant by “organic iron”, it’s normal inorganic iron sulphides.

Invertebrate, high temperature, high pressure, lightless environment, is armor plated, eats mineral-rich diet.
Now we just need to figure out if they can do echolocation and math.

Oh yea, you can cook it with any vegetable, fruit, or flower, milk, and rock salt to get a tough seafood stew. I those are pretty powerful, like your defense goes up for 5 minutes.
Alternatively mix it with monster parts and you get an elixir but what fun is that?
