Lead Bar

The Lead Bar is an early-game metal bar, used to create the Lead tier of equipment, along with many other items. Its alternate ore version is the Iron Bar. It can also be placed on the ground, like furniture.

Trivia

 * Like gold, is quite heavy and soft in reality, which would render it useless for making tools and armor. However, lead (11.34g/cm³) is still far less  than other metals found in the game, namely tungsten (19.25g/cm³), gold (19.3g/cm³) and platinum (21.45g/cm³).
 * In reality, lead is a neurotoxin with on the human body, up to and including death. This property does not seem to be shared by the in-game metal, as it is used in a variety of food-related items (e.g. Cooking Pots and Ironskin Potions).
