Statues Made Of Slag

[Bawhoppen]

Hi everyone, I think A great way to made Slag semi-useful is to make a bunch of statues you can make from them, Obviously this is fairly trivial and just for looks.
Maybe statues of each animal and maybe some other items or something I'm not completely sure what the statues will be so I guess someone else can decide, and the reason I think this is because back in the ancient times the Etruscans did so much metal-working and made great mounds of slag that many Statues and Monuments are made out of now in that area of europe, and I see no flaws in this as long as the statues are fairly easy to break and can't be used as walls.

Just an idea but post feedback,

If what you say is true and they actually used to do that, that's a pretty cool idea

Yea they did make all sorts of monuments and stuff, I remember from histroy class once

Cool idea; gives SOME use to slag.

"During the Bronze Age of the Mediterranean there were a vast number of differential metallurgical processes in use. A slag by-product of such workings was a colorful, glassy, vitreous material found on the surfaces of slag from ancient copper foundries. It was primarily blue or green and was formerly chipped away and melted down to make glassware products and jewelry. It was also ground into powder to add to glazes for use in ceramics. Some of the earliest such uses for the by-products of slag have been found in ancient Egypt.
Historically, the re-smelting of iron ore slag was common practice as improved smelting techniques permitted greater iron yields - in some case exceeding that which was originally achieved. During the early 20th century, iron ore slag was also ground to a powder and used to make 'Agate Glass', also known as 'Slag Glass'."

"Ground granulated slag is often used in concrete in combination with Portland cement as part of a blended cement. Ground granulated slag reacts with water to produce cementitious properties. Concrete containing ground granulated slag develops strength over a longer period, leading to reduced permeability and better durability. Since the unit volume of Portland cement is reduced, this concrete is less vulnerable to alkali-silica and sulfate attack.
This previously unwanted recycled product is used in the manufacture of high performance concretes, especially those used in the construction of bridges and coastal features, where its low permeability and greater resistance to chlorides and sulfates can help to reduce corrosive action and deterioration of the structure. The slag can also be used to create fibers which can be used as an insulation material named slag wool."

I agree! Put a use to slag

I like how people think this is a good idea so no one replies but you post on bad idea and theres like 20 pages to it

[chocolaterain]

It would be very good to put an use to slag. I hope the devs will put it in the game in the future.

Finally a decent suggestion! Thank you my man!
troll statues, epiccc

edit: maybe statue of yourself looking the way you are on the moment you start or finish building

Perhaps adding a feldspar and clay to some recipes to make it Feldspar useful too, What about that idea?

Im fine with the clay idea, but idk if feldspar could be used to build statues. If it is, i totally support this idea, some could also require metals? Try to make a list of statues and materials just to show us what youre thinking of
but you dont have to ofc, maybe ill make one later
