Copper Patina

A copper golem monument that freezes or hastens patina. Sitting freezes and polishes; standing, running, or star weathers toward exposed, weathered, or oxidized. Ring Tier fuels duration; secondary Tier sets reach.

    How it works​

    Copper Patina is a copper golem monument that rules the weathering of copper around it. Two kinds of Tier block play separate roles:

    • The fuel sits on the copper base and sets how long the monument holds: five minutes per Tier, per block.
    • The standing block under the golem sets the reach and the pace, and it is never spent.

    Right-click the copper golem to raise it. Copper Patina raised (radius 24, 900s, oxidation +75%). Pose the golem to freeze or weather copper.

    The golem's pose​

    Right-click the golem to change its pose, and the pose sets what copper within reach may become:

    PoseCopper within reach
    SittingStops weathering, and lightning cannot scrape it. The monument's own copper stays bright.
    StandingWeathers up to Exposed.
    RunningWeathers up to Weathered.
    StarWeathers all the way to Oxidized.

    Radius8162432404864
    Weathering pace25%50%75%100%125%150%200%

    The pace compares with the natural rate, so above Tier 4 copper weathers faster than it would on its own.

    Fuel​

    When time runs low, the monument draws a Qixsilver Reservoir in your Domain, then an Aether Chest on the base, then the next Tier block on the base, clockwise. Sneak and right-click the golem to lower it.

    Configuration​

    These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/copperpatina.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

    SettingDefaultWhat it does
    ticks-per-tier6000Game ticks of patina per consumed ink Tier (duration = this × Tier).
    advance-chance-divisor200Surplus pulse only (speed > 100): chance per eligible block is (speed − 100) / this.
    pulse-ticks40Game ticks between surplus oxidation pulses (skipped when secondary-ink speed ≤ 100).
    max-advances-per-pulse64Cap on blocks advanced in one surplus pulse (lag guard).
