Hulls
What the body is made of decides what it can do. Read iron or copper.

Pages of the entry
The hull decides where an automaton can work and what it does not fear. A willow hull is light and floats. An iron one is heavy, does not burn and shrugs off blasts. A terracotta one does not burn. A copper one oxidizes and slows down like copper — honeycomb on the automaton stops the patina.
A fluxsteel hull is as heavy as iron, but where the flux runs above its bed it works a fifth faster. A stillmetal hull mends itself — but only while it stands idle: still metal loves rest.
A wax hull holds two current inlays: runes press into soft wax best (the entry "Current Inlays"). But fire and lava burn it twice as hard — keep it away from forges and the Nether.
A burl hull is a living burl of wood that is still growing: under the open sky by day it closes its wounds three times faster than Self-Mending, and it holds two inlays. It is the frailest of hulls, and in a cave or at night it does not mend at all.
