There are a lot of ores and minerals in the world of Dwarf Fortress, and one of the Cassiterite, which is the only ore that comes from tin. Not only that, cassiterite ores will be able to be smelted into several other bars and alloys. You will be able to find cassiterite as small cluster in alluvial layers and as veins in granite. Cassiterite can be smelted into the following products:
