Reminds me of the hail Mary alien

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.

Do you think its Iron Skin is time-based or should I just mod for ability strength?

latenightnoir@lemmy.world on 04 Dec 2024 10:44 collapse

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:))

What’s organic iron?

SandmanXC@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2024 20:59 next collapse

Same as iron but costs 30% more

Engywuck@lemm.ee on 03 Dec 2024 21:21 collapse

The correct answer here.

DoYouNot@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2024 21:13 next collapse

Hazarding a guess, but I think it’s referring to something like “the biologically mediated reduction of iron”.

Engywuck@lemm.ee on 03 Dec 2024 21:15 collapse

I’d have guessed iron+carbon, instead (so, steel).

lemming741@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2024 22:25 collapse

Lots of carbon = iron
Little bit of carbon = steel
Zero carbon = iron

It’s confusing, I know

TankieTanuki@hexbear.net on 03 Dec 2024 21:15 next collapse

Wikipedia says it’s iron sulfide. I’m not sure that’s organic.

Engywuck@lemm.ee on 03 Dec 2024 21:21 collapse

Yeah, no.

IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org on 03 Dec 2024 21:47 next collapse

Doesn’t 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).

Rubisco@slrpnk.net on 03 Dec 2024 23:01 next collapse

Looks like iron sulfide, pyrite, and greigite in this case.

Highlights from this rabbit hole: “imbricating chitinous sclerites” and “conchiolin”.

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.

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?

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