{{Info|'''Plasteel''' is the [[Max Hit Points|strongest]] [[material]] in the game. Commonly used for high tech items, especially [[ship engine]]s and other modules, which are needed to [[Ship|build a spaceship]] to escape the planet and win the game.}}

== Acquisition ==
Plasteel can be obtained in the following ways: 
* Mining compacted plasteel deposits.
* [[Trading]].
* [[Quest]] rewards.
* Using a [[deep drill]] on an underground plasteel vein.
* Using a [[long-range mineral scanner]] to find plasteel ore deposits.
* Shredding dead [[centipede]]s, [[termite]]s, [[diaboli]],{{BiotechIcon}} [[tunneler]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} [[centurion]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} and [[war queen]]s.{{BiotechIcon}}{{Check Tag|Wb others?|There are still several mechanoid pages that don't have their shred yield listed. Do any of them yield plasteel?}}
* [[Mechanoid]] raiders may also come with plasteel in their inventory, in addition to the amount you gain from shredding them.

== Ore ==
[[File:Compacted_plasteel.png|frameless|left|Compacted plasteel in game]] 

'''Compacted plasteel''' tiles have 8,000 health each, making it the slowest ore to mine and the toughest object in-game. They can be found in smaller veins, ranging from 2 to 8 tiles in size. Each mined block has a base yield of 40 plasteel, however this is modified by factors such as the [[Difficulty]] setting and the [[Mining_Yield|mining yield]] of the pawn. Notably, a healthy pawn requires [[Skills#Mining|Mining]] skill of 8 or better for maximum yield.

== Usage ==
Plasteel is used in the following crafting recipes:
{{Ingredient List}}
In addition, plasteel is a metallic material for buildings and items that use the [[stuff]] system. It can be used for [[wall]]s, [[door]]s, and other buildings, in addition to [[longsword]]s and other melee [[weapon]]s. Plasteel has the highest HP and highest sharp damage of any material.

== Trivia ==
*The term  "Plasteel" has been used in sci-fi as early as 1942 to describe materials with properties of both plastic and metal, including seminal works such as Dune and Star Wars.
