The most straightforward way to get steel, requiring no infrastructure. However, ore is ultimately limited per map. As you mine more ore, each deposit will be further and further away, increasing travel time to and from the deposit. | The most straightforward way to get steel, requiring no infrastructure.

WALK TIME MATTERS MORE. While very slightly less work efficient than mining steel, there is no reason ''not'' to deconstruct when both options are inheriently limited. It's safer to deconstruct ruins early in the game rather than later, as raids are less dangerous. | WALK TIME MATTERS MORE.

On the colony's end, your means of [[money making guide|making money]], the negotiator's [[Trade Price Improvement]], [[difficulty]] (the setting [[AI_Storytellers#Trade price disadvantage|Trade price disadvantage]]), and the distance/quantity of [[faction base]]s affect how viable trade is. The advantage of trade is not that it is any more time-efficient than mining ore, but that there are many, many different ways of making money; most colonies can depend on at least one. | On the colony's end, your means of [[money making guide|making money]], the negotiator's [[Trade Price Improvement]], [[difficulty]] (the setting [[AI_Storytellers#Trade price disadvantage|Trade price disadvantage]]), and the distance/quantity of [[faction base]]s affect how viable trade is.
