Editing Steel/Calculations

{{Main|Steel}}
Calculations for all items in [[Steel#Acquisition analysis]]. Assume healthy pawns in full [[light]] in Strive to Survive [[difficulty]]. All numbers are rounded to 1 decimal point; unrounded numbers used for all calculations.

==Mining steel ore==
Relevant stats: [[Mining Speed]], [[Mining Yield]], [[difficulty]].

For 8 Mining skill, healthy pawn :
*{{ticks|1900}} to mine an ore. [[Mining Speed]] = 100%. {{Check Tag|Verify|Empirically tested. I took a stopwatch on a mining 8 pawn, then rounded to a pretty number.}}
*40 steel per ore. [[Mining Yield]] = 100%.

(1900 ticks / 40 steel) = {{ticks|1900/40}} per steel.
*Plus travel time.

==Deconstruction==
Relevant stats: [[Construction Speed]], item in question

For 8 Construction skill, healthy pawn, against a wall:
*{{ticks|135}} to deconstruct a steel wall. [[Construction Speed]] = 100%.{Check Tag|Verify|Empirically tested. Margin of error within 1 second}}
*2.5 steel per wall. All items give half their steel.

(135 ticks / 2.5 steel) = {{ticks|135/2.5}} per steel.
*Plus travel time.

==Smelting==
Relevant stats: [[General Labor Speed]], item smelted

===Steel slag chunks===
For a healthy pawn:
*{{ticks|400}} per chunk. [[General Labor Speed]] = 100%
*15 steel per chunk.

(400 ticks / 15 steel) = {{ticks|400/15 round 1}} per steel
*Plus travel time.

===Weapons and apparel===
For a healthy pawn:
*{{ticks|1600}} per item. [[General Labor Speed]] = 100%
*7 steel per autopistol / steel knife. More steel for any other item (25% of item worth)
**You also get any other resources used to craft the item, other than [[component]]s/[[advanced component]]s and [[chemfuel]].

(1600 ticks / 7 steel) = {{ticks|1600/7 round 1}} per steel

==Shredding==
Relevant stats: [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency]], [[Mechanoid Shredding Speed]], mechanoid type, Missing Body Parts, whenever done on a [[machining table]]

For 10 Crafting skill, healthy pawn:
*{{ticks|300}} to shred a mechanoid. [[Mechanoid Shredding Speed]] = 100%. Constant per mechanoid.
*15 steel per scyther or lancer. 0% Missing Body Parts.
*10 steel per militor -> 5 steel @ 50% Missing Body parts

(300 ticks / 15 steel) = {{ticks|300/15 round 1}} per steel (0% missing lancer)<br>
(300 ticks / 5 steel) = {{ticks|300/5 round 1}} per steel (50% missing militor)

==Deep Drilling==
Relevant stats: [[Research Speed]], [[Deep Drilling Speed]], [[Mining Yield]]

For 8 Intellectual + 8 Mining skill, healthy pawn(s):
*{{ticks|180000}} average to find ''any'' deposit. [[Research Speed]] = 100%.
**(4/7.5) = 53% to get steel. {{ticks|180000*7.5/4}} average to find a steel deposit. (not rounded in calculations)
*Average 9000 steel per deposit. 
*(180000 ticks * .53 steel / 9000 ticks) = {{ticks|180000*7.5/4/9000 round 1}} per steel scan
*{{ticks|14000}} per deep drill cycle. [[Deep Drilling Speed]] = 100%.
*35 steel per deep drill cycle. [[Mining Yield]] = 100%.
*(14000 ticks / 35 steel) = {{ticks|14000/35}} per steel spent mining.

{{ticks|(180000*7.5/4/9000) + (14000/35) round 1}} per steel (scan + mine).
*Plus travel time.

==Long-range mineral scanner==
Relevant stats: [[Research Speed]], [[Mining Speed]], [[Mining Yield]], [[difficulty]], means of travel

For 8 Intellectual + 8 Mining skill, healthy pawn(s):
*{{ticks|240000}} average to find ''any'' deposit. [[Research Speed]] = 100%.
*Average 2250 steel. [[Mining Yield]] = 100%.
*(2400000 ticks / 2250 steel) = {{ticks|240000/2250 round 1}} per steel spent scanning.
*{{ticks|1900}} to mine an ore. Mining Speed = 100%. {{Check Tag|Verify|Empirically tested. I took a stopwatch on a mining 8 pawn, then rounded to a pretty number.}}
*40 steel per ore. Mining Yield = 100%.
*(1900 ticks / 40 steel) = {{ticks|1900/40}} per steel spent mining.

{{ticks|(240000/2250) + (1900/40) round 1}} per steel (scan + mine).
*Plus travel time, plus combat time (multiple days w/o transport pods)

===Transport pods===
Other relevant stats: How you get [[chemfuel]]
*1700 steel per scan. 
**2250 base steel/scan, -550 steel for 8 [[transport pod]]s + 1 [[pod launcher]], if [[component]]s are created from steel. (1 pod to arrive, 7 pods + 1 launcher to send 1050kg = 2100 steel).
*(2400000 ticks / 1700 steel) = {{ticks|240000/1700 round 1}} per steel spent scanning.
*(1900 ticks / 40 steel) = {{ticks|1900/40}} per steel spent mining.
*Chemfuel variable work based on how you get it and how far you need to go.
*{{ticks|(2500*9) + (70*9*370/22) round 1}} total to create 350 chemfuel from [[corn]] in a [[biofuel refinery]]. Enough for a 10-tile trip. [[Plant Work Speed]] & [[Harvest Yield]] = 100%
*{{ticks|1600*9}} to build 8 pods + 1 launcher.
*(14400 ticks / 1700 steel) = {{ticks|1600*9/1700 round 1}} per steel building pods.

{{ticks|(240000/1700) + (1900/40) + (1600*9/1700) + (2500*9/1700) + ((70*9*370/22)/1700) round 1}} per steel (scan + mine + pod + fuel from corn).
*Plus loading time, plus combat time

===Transport pods + Farskip===
{{Royalty|section=1}}
Other relvant stats: How you get [[chemfuel]], [[psyfocus]] meditation rate. Assuming you send 2 pawns, which may not exactly be safe.
*2188 average steel per scan. 1 transport pod (-62 steel) to location.
*(2400000 ticks / 2188 steel) = {{ticks|240000/2188 round 1}} per steel spent scanning.
*(1900 ticks / 40 steel) = {{ticks|1900/40}} per steel spent mining.
*{{ticks|1600}} total to build 1 pod. {{ticks|2500}} + {{ticks|70*370}} total for 35 chemfuel fueled from [[corn]] (15 tile trip).
*1.4 full days (84000 ticks) for 70% psyfocus at 50% psyfocus per day. (70% / [psyfocus per day]) days for 60000 ticks = 1 day.
**Meditation also counts as Recreation.
*{{ticks|(60000*.7/.5)/2188 round 1}} per steel meditating for farskip. 50% psyfocus per day.
*(1900 ticks / 40 steel) = {{ticks|1900/40}} per steel spent mining.

{{ticks|(240000/2188) + (1900/40) + ((1600+2500)/2188) + (60000*1.4/2188) round 1}} per steel (scan + mine + pod + fuel from corn + meditation).
