Steel Ingot

Steel Ingots are smelted from Iron Ore and Coal in Foundries. They are used to produce Steel Pipes and Steel Beams.

Tips

 * Solid Steel is the most efficient recipe, due to conserving Coal which is the rarer component and allowing for the incorporation with a ratio of Iron Ore to ingot greater than 1:1.
 * If a large Iron Ingot pipeline is already established, a Solid Steel foundry can draw from that rather than requiring a separate ore stream.
 * Solid Steel can also take advantage of the Iron Alloy Ingot or Pure Iron Ingot alternate recipes, increasing ore efficiency even further.
 * Compacted Steel can become useful in mid-to-late-game if Sulfur is available in sufficient amounts.
 * Steel is better than iron for most purposes (using alternate recipes), but iron is better for making Iron Plates, and can also be made into Wire, while steel cannot.

History

 * Patch 0.3: Increased the amount of product from two to three, buffing it by 50%. A new alternate recipe is added.
