Either something wonky happened or my calcs are off? (I tried the mix twice to avoid any mistakes I could have made)

2 dust
1 copper bar
4 iron bar

this should come out to 5.0 mass yeah?

then pound it into a helm it sould come out to 100 stones yeah?

Trying to figure out why its comming out 108 stones.

Thanks,
Baelor

No. It comes out to 5.4.

5.4 * 20 = 108.

Depending on the order you mix, this will compress the dust, as the math of compressed dust proves (5.4 instead of 5.0). You can either change the way you add dusts, or try this:

1 zinc bar
2 iron bar mix
2 dust mix

This is by no means the only way to get 5.0 density, and its not the most elegant way, but it'll get the job done. Looks like my other reply from the other day failed due to beer.
