Tips[edit | edit source]
- 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.
