Proud to be wed to my perfect Egyptian bride, Anankha! Life is now less quiet, but much more pleasant.
"Stonebob Limestonepants!", my sculpture at Condo-on-the-Nile, Pirates' Crossing, Lower Nubia, has passed! (That's 1095 -2761 for the map-centric among us.) Actually, "Stonebob Limestonepants Jr." passed, near the LN Level 1 beetle garden. A complete void of ideas for a sculpture was one of the reasons I took some months away from Egypt. In a surprise twist, and with much helpful prompting from Jodpar and Amy, this - erm... "creation" came to life! Thanks to both of you!

For me, it appears that Digenite will ruin, or at least greatly reduce the yield, of a smelt. Others have had problems with Matraite, Ashoverite or Danbaite ruining their smelts. I wonder if we are seeing another hashed effect, where some ore crystal(s) will not work in alloys for each individual. With so few ores used in alloys, most people would never see anything. The rest of us are left wondering what's going on. The losses seem to occur at the time the cart is loaded in the furnace, so when I had Malesh dump the Digenite-infected brass load above, it worked fine for me to fire it, but when I've dumped similar cart loads before, they failed.

Steel appears to ignore any impurities, metal or not, so long as there is more of the secondary metal than the impurities. Also, the 2nd Fe:Al test shows that no single impurity should be greater than the secondary metal, but the total can exceed it and still work normally.
