Compatibility notes

Cupro’s Alloys Mod works with existing saves, but the new resources must be obtained from traders or mined with Quarry Mod. As with any modded save, backing up your save files before adding Cupro’s Alloys Mod is recommended.

The original source and mod were created by cuproPanda. Their work on Cupro’s Alloys Mod ended with B18, and this version continues development from that point. The B19 version is also available separately.

Compatible mods

• Architect Sense: All floors are grouped together.
• Combat Extended: Metals are regrouped to be usable for weapon crafting.
• Industrialisation: Copper and aluminium are usable in recipes.
• Survivalist’s Additions: Forge and Crucible can be used to make alloys.

No known issues are listed yet, although compatibility for 1.0 was noted as untested despite no logic changes.
