So in 0.4.6 there are now mese,iron,coal,diamond,copper,bronze and butter (gold).But how about adding ruby to minetest.Ruby can be crafted to jewelries and armor.And how about crafting ruby to Topaz for some mods that have clock,watch and tv

I know that there will not likely be more types of ores added unless there will be better uses. Pretty much we need more things that have functions like bows and maybe a forging tool

How about instruments?

I dont like adding many new things without a good usage for them.

We need to have a forge that can repair and make tools better. Also you would use a hammer to do it.

I think before rubies are added there should be quartz, because it is more common and has more uses, like maybe you can turn it into sand (by crushing it) and stuff.

Quartz + various ores -> coloured gems

But I think it would be more suitable for a mod than "common"

Maybe it could be used for crafting a Ruby hammer for tool repairing?

World doesnt work that way. First are resources then folks coming with use for them.
Youre putting the problem head over heels.

No, many resources without a usage in the game itself makes it look like an unfinished game with boring gameplay.

Meh, to me it feels kinda cheaty to me.

Sand+coal=silicon. Silicon+silicon=semiconductor. Semiconductor+copper=n-type. Semiconductor+iron=p-type. n-type+p-type=diode. Diode+torch=LED. LED+ruby=laser.

Though a bit too convoluted.

What does the "screwdriver" do in 0.4.6? the only way you can claim it is with the common game mode (i think)

I believe it turns nodes to make them face in different directions, though I can't say I've ever used one.

To add a super material. Also a lot of people wanted it. There are two ways to add stuff to common. Make a superb useful mod like wool or dye and add it in that way or get something everyone wants and give pilzadam code to add it in.
