Dungeon Dross
Abandoned mining gear make your dungeons look used, haunted and dangerous.
The lore of the lost mines...
"Heed my warning, for the depths of the Abyss hold more than just riches. In our greed, we delved too deep, awakening ancient horrors best left undisturbed. The darkness began to creep into our lives, whispering of doom in the shadows. Many of my kin fell to the darkness, their cries echoing through the abandoned chambers. The wealth we uncovered came at a great cost, and the halls that once rang with laughter now lie silent and haunted. Remember this: the deeper you delve, the greater the peril you may find. Riches can turn to ruin if one forgets the dangers lurking in the dark."
About the Collection
When you need a dungeon that looks used, abandoned and scary, look no further than the dungeon dross collection. Filled with rusted mining gear, bent and rusty rails, spikes, shattered beams, chains and rusted grates, the Dungeon Dross set contains over 50 items that will turn your maps from boring caves into abandoned mines filled with terrors and danger.
I'm constantly adding to the collection - so check back for new additions.
All of these items can be found in the Workshop in Dungeon Alchemist, and are original assets I've built.
They are free to use, whether you're building maps for your own campaign, or designing maps to resell. Enjoy!

How to download and use these assets in Dungeon Alchemist
About a year ago dungeon alchemist was kind enough to enable people to import their own models into the app and share them via the steam workshop so other people can easily find and use them. All of my models are published in this way, so you can find them there.
FAQ: Can I use these models for free?
YES! These are all 100% original assets and are free for anyone to use. I place no restrictions on them - forever.
If you're a map maker and reselling the maps, I have no issue with you using the assets I make. I would ask that you'd kindly nudge people to my site (dangerweasel.com) so they can discover other assets I've created as well. A simple link would suffice.
FAQ: I'm making maps, how can I download and use your assets?
Great Question! Here's a handy guide on how to find them and use them.
Step 1 : Download Steam and Purchase Dungeon Alchemist
You'll need to download and install Steam, set up an account and open the store. Then you can search for "Dungeon Alchemist" and purchase that - it's $49.99, which feels a bit steep, but if you're into map making I guarantee it's a great investment that you'll never regret. There's also a free demo you can try out!
Step 2 : Launch dungeon alchemist from Steam
Since the assets are all loaded into the Steam Workshop, you need to ensure that Dungeon Alchemist is launched from steam so it connects to the workshop and can access the assets. This is super important, because if you don't launch from Steam, Dungeon Alchemist won't be able to access the workshop and community contributions.
Step 3 : Open the Workshop
Once you've created a map you want to add custom assets to, open the "Steam Workshop" menu and select "Browse Assets". This will open the catalog of assets built by 3D artists that are available for Dungeon Alchemist.
Step 4 : Find the Collection you Want
From here, the Steam Workshop Asset Browser will open, and you have a choice to either download individual items, or browse collections. I organize all of my items into collections, so it's easiest to find them by going to collections:
Step 5 : Search for the Collection and Download it
In the search box, type in the name of the collection (e.g. Dungeon Dross, Lost Tribe, Graves...) and hit enter. The collection tile will be displayed below. Click on the tile, and voila! the collection comes up with all the 3d Assets. You can download them by hitting the "Download All Assets" button.
If you only want to download one asset, and not the full collection - not to worry! Go back to step 3 above and search on the asset name. It'll come up and you can download each one separately.
Step 6 : Use the assets
Finding and placing the assets in dungeon alchemist is a snap. Just open up the Place Object Menu (chest) and search for the asset name. It'll pop right up and you can place it and move it just like any other asset in Dungeon Alchemist. Downloaded assets are also available in browse, so you can just get to them by looking through the object menus.
Another handy shortcut to downloaded assets is the chest icon with the arrow on it. This contains all the assets you've downloaded.
If ever you're stuck, or something doesn't seem to be working, I'm happy to help and answer questions. I also love seeing how people are using my assets - so if you ever want to share, I'd love to see them.
I hope this helps! Build Awesome maps!
