0000823: "Native" ores use METAL_TEMPLATE, can supposedly be used for "sharp blades" and studding (doesn't work)
Native copper, native silver, native gold, native platinum, native aluminum, horn silver (as per 0000821), raw adamantine, and slade all use METAL_TEMPLATE; as a result, it is possible to add jobs via the job manager to stud equipment with them. Actually attempting to add such a job will result in failure with the reason "Needs [ore] bars" (even if the ore itself is available, it still insists on bars).
1. Embark with an anvil, a rock, some nuggets of one of the above ores, and a dwarf with Metal crafting skill.
2. Assign the Manager position to some dwarf.
3. Build a metalsmith's forge.
4. Using the job manager, enqueue a task to "Stud with native [ore]", for whatever ore was brought during embark.

Edited the title to include some other problems with ores that use METAL_TEMPLATE.

The eligibility for "sharp blades" seems to be what permits making weapons out of them in Arena mode, but this probably has rather unexpected results with the "native" ores since it ends up using all of the default properties for metals (except for slade, which explicitly redefines all of said properties so they make sense).

The "sharp blades" also appears to permit making rock short swords (or any other weapons with [CAN_STONE]), giving all of them properties roughly equivalent to steel (except with much higher elasticity values). Due to 0000256, though, it doesn't actually create them successfully.

Also appears while inspecting ores ('k' then cursor to mined out ore chunk)

This appears to cause another issue: ores which use METAL_TEMPLATE can be designated for Melting - actually melting them produces "native [whatever] bars" which can probably then be used for studding.

Yeah, I had this bug also, my stonecrafter tried to make native gold short swords.

@Footkerchief: While my bug report was specifically for the arena, yea I guess I didn't quite see that the same conclusion had already been made and I had been wanting to get my thoughts out there.

Good idea to sticky this as the root of this bug could even solve the strange alchemy going on with gold goblets getting turned into iron and shell artifacts turning into iron.

The "root" of this bug is the [IS_METAL] or whatever in the metal template, isn't it? I don't see how gold --> iron relates.
(0009849)
Footkerchief   
2010-07-09 17:31   
^^^ Yes. The gold/iron thing is probably unrelated.

They no longer use templates as of 0.31.13, so the studding jobs should go away, as well as some other issues.
