Cat Gold as pavement

[Potjeh]

After getting three of these useless things in one inventory of stone, I'm really starting to hate them. So yeah, how about making them a bit more useful, and letting us make new pavement kind with it? Normal stone mottled with gold would be good, I guess.

more terraforming is good i suppose

but give it a bronzish sort of color, speckled is kind of nasty

Good idea, cat gold really is the most useless thing out there.

after a bit of googling around, i found that 'cat gold' is a folksy term for fool's gold (pyrite)

i'll just leave this here

"Marcasite jewellery is jewellery made from pyrite (fool's gold), not, as the name suggests, from marcasite.[1] Pyrite is similar to marcasite, but more stable and less brittle. Marcasite jewellery has been made since the time of the Ancient Greeks.[2] It was particularly popular in the eighteenth century, the Victorian era and with Art Nouveau jewellery designers.[2][3] It is frequently made by setting small pieces of pyrite into silver.[3] Cheaper costume jewellery is made by glueing pieces of pyrite rather than setting.[2] A similar-looking type of jewellery can be made from small pieces of cut steel.[1][2]"

You had to google that? Of course it was pyrite.

I think it would take more than 1 cat gold to pave 1 tile... isn't it just a handful of pebbles?

But then again... it only takes 1 brick to pave 1 tile so, nevermind =/

Good sires, if cat gold could be used instead of regular gold for gold paving...
that`d be awesome.

Good point there. But, since you ask, you should see the size of some of the pyrite crystal formations. They can get quite hefty.

I do like the paving idea. Gives something a bit more to do with them.

theres also the fact that pyrite doesn't look like gold. at least to me. It doesn't have that same "glow" about it.
