Now that copper and iron cost the same or more than titanium (ore or bars), what are some good “base metal” recipes?

I still use forges titanium grapples and shovels. It is more of a preference as I just like the look.

It costs 66c to make a Gold Heavy Hammer
It costs 145c to make a Titanium Balanced Hammer
It costs 572c to make a Sapphire Balanced Hammer

So there’s definitely a cost efficiency involved when using Titainium vs. the cheapest gem

Gold has 1100 durability, titanium 1500, sapphire 2200. Normalized for 1000 durability gold would cost 60c, titanium 97c and sapphire 260. The difference between gems and ti isn’t that big.

On top of that you can’t really forge anything useful from ti. A T4 one hit hammer isn’t really that useful because you can only find… the useless ti on T4 planets, but no gems.
