I recently found some platinum. Given the removal of the find out in game rule... what can it be used for?

Probably the use hasn't been implemented yet but I'd guess jewellery and/or coins.

Just for jewelry? Oh great, another wasted resource!

yea it probably will be used for jewelery and or coins

Well, I'm pretty sure we won't be using it in catalytic converters or electrodes any time too soon, so...jewlery and coins would also be my guess.

Well, it's not like there are a whole bunch of platinum weapons. I've nerver heard of any.

The stolen platinum credit card. Use it to make the victim go deep in debt...

Platinum
A silver-white metallic element occurring worldwide, usually mixed with other metals such as iridium, osmium, or nickel. It is ductile and malleable, does not oxidize in air, and is used as a catalyst and in electrical components, jewelry, dentistry, and electroplating. Atomic number 78; atomic weight 195.08; melting point 1,772°C; boiling point 3,827°C.
So there you have it. I don't want a weapon made of this stuff lol You'd hit some one and it would get a huge notch in it.
However: Iridium
A very hard and brittle, exceptionally corrosion-resistant, whitish-yellow metallic element occurring in platinum ores and used principally to harden platinum and in high-temperature materials, electrical contacts, and wear-resistant bearings. Atomic number 77; atomic weight 192.2; melting point 2,410°C; boiling point 4,130°C;
Osmium
A bluish-white, hard metallic element, found in small amounts in osmiridium, nickel, and platinum ores. It is used as a platinum hardener and in making pen points, phonograph needles, and instrument pivots. Atomic number 76; atomic weight 190.2; melting point 3,000°C; boiling point 5,000°C.
These two are found WITH the platinum in the ore... Maybe this can be gathered like hematite to remove those other two metals to make current weapons stronger or platinum armour! Now that would be cool

Thatd be sweet

And since they're both corrosion resistant the nthe item made with them won't deteriorate as fast perhaps...

True true, less deterioration the less youll have to repair it. You should split this into sudjustions
