Based on the above table. (which is based on "06:38, 4 November 2018 (EST)" data)

  • I'm not sure RoB needs duplicate categories. (elements wise) (ie: "Metal Bar/Nugget" v "Nugget/Bar of Any Metal")
    • Solution: not clear yet.
  • As "* Any Metal" holds all elements, the other groups are always true sub-groups of "* Any Metal". (ie: potential automated assignment ... maybe)
    • "* Hard Metal" is also a true sub-group of "* Common Metal". (ie: potential automated assignment ... maybe)


Other stuff:

Not sure if the (now replaced/renamed) "* of Bronze, Iron or Steel" group was/is identical in elements to the "* Hard Metal" group. (seems to be, but I'm currently not to sure about that)
if not ... some of those renamed(bot) cases might need to be reversed, or at least verified.

I don't know which group/category names are identical or related to used in-game names. But ...

  • "Nugget of Any Common Metal" looks out of place. The "any" part is superfluous here.
  • A bit of the same for the "'a'" in "Bar of a Precious Metal"

Generally sticking to used in-game names is good, but only to a point. Following a clear standard here seemd better. (with redirects from actual in-game names if applicable)

1. In-game name is Bar of Bronze, Iron or Steel (there is no Hard metal in-game).
2. Bar or Nugget of Any Common Metal - correct in-game name - well i know it's pretty dumb - we have Any Metal and Any Common Metal - but it's Jorb fault.
3. "'a'" in "Bar of a Precious Metal" again the same mistake by Jorb, correct in-game name.

Well i think it's not bad if you rename them to more proper names. I guess people still will find it.

Aha, thanks for additional info.
In that case the "* of Bronze, Iron or Steel" in-game group is/must include the metals: Cast Iron, Metiron and Wrought Iron. (all three having "iron" in there name to boot)
I will think a bit more about notes/info about RoB-names v In-Game-names.

Implemented Metal group-name changes.
