Description
Ingot (Constantan) is a metal alloy. It is used in crafting of various ship parts and items. It is closely related to its real-life analogue Constantan, that is notable for its stable (hence the name) electric resistance under the wide range ot temperatures. As such, it is used in variety of advanced electric equipment and devices required to reliably operate under variable thermal conditions.
Obtaining
It is created by smelting equal parts Copper and Nickel in a Furnace. While it had originally a narrow temperature range for smelting, it now is a high-pressure alloy for the standard Furnace. Production simply involves the ignition of a sufficient (relatively high) amount of fuel for a concurrent growth of heat and pressure within the chamber. Using the Advanced Furnace with pure Fuel gas mixture, a player can balance the reaction with some inert gas injection, but in early game involving ice-based fuel mixture, it is practically superfluous.
