{{Rewrite|reason=It would be very useful to have the reasonable optimum steel returns per tick as well as the average ones so we can see what is best in late game colonies. Not theoretical optimums but reasonable ones for example, is deep drilling with a Intellectual 20 scanner and Mining 20, Dual Drill Arms miner better than a 2-archotech-armed smelter, not a Manipulation 355% smelter with every possible bonus}}
