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 :

(1900 ticks / 40 steel) = 47.5 ticks (0.79 secs) per steel.

  • Plus travel time.

Deconstruction

Relevant stats: Construction Speed, item in question

For 8 Construction skill, healthy pawn, against a wall:

  • 135 ticks (2.25 secs) 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) = 54 ticks (0.9 secs) per steel.

  • Plus travel time.

Smelting

Relevant stats: General Labor Speed, item smelted

Steel slag chunks

For a healthy pawn:

(400 ticks / 15 steel) = 26.7 ticks (0.45 secs) per steel

  • Plus travel time.

Weapons and apparel

For a healthy pawn:

(1600 ticks / 7 steel) = 228.6 ticks (3.81 secs) 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:

  • 300 ticks (5 secs) 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) = 26.7 ticks (0.45 secs) per steel (0% missing lancer)
(300 ticks / 5 steel) = 80 ticks (1.33 secs) 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):

  • 180,000 ticks (50 mins) average to find any deposit. Research Speed = 100%.
    • (4/7.5) = 53% to get steel. 337,500 ticks (93.75 mins) average to find a steel deposit. (not rounded in calculations)
  • Average 9000 steel per deposit.
  • (180000 ticks * .53 steel / 9000 ticks) = 37.5 ticks (0.63 secs) per steel scan
  • 14,000 ticks (3.89 mins) per deep drill cycle. Deep Drilling Speed = 100%.
  • 35 steel per deep drill cycle. Mining Yield = 100%.
  • (14000 ticks / 35 steel) = 400 ticks (6.67 secs) per steel spent mining.

437.5 ticks (7.29 secs) 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):

  • 240,000 ticks (66.67 mins) average to find any deposit. Research Speed = 100%.
  • Average 2250 steel. Mining Yield = 100%.
  • (2400000 ticks / 2250 steel) = 106.7 ticks (1.78 secs) per steel spent scanning.
  • 1,900 ticks (31.67 secs) to mine an ore. Mining Speed = 100%. [Verify]
  • 40 steel per ore. Mining Yield = 100%.
  • (1900 ticks / 40 steel) = 47.5 ticks (0.79 secs) per steel spent mining.

154.2 ticks (2.57 secs) per steel (scan + mine).

  • Plus travel time, plus combat time (multiple days w/o transport pods)

Transport pods

  • 1700 steel per scan.
  • (2400000 ticks / 1700 steel) = 141.2 ticks (2.35 secs) per steel spent scanning.
  • (1900 ticks / 40 steel) = 47.5 ticks (0.79 secs) per steel spent mining.
  • Chemfuel variable work based on how you get it and how far you need to go.
  • 33,095.5 ticks (9.19 mins) total to create 350 chemfuel from corn in a biofuel refinery. Enough for a 10-tile trip. Plant Work Speed & Harvest Yield = 100%
  • 14,400 ticks (4 mins) to build 8 pods + 1 launcher.
  • (14400 ticks / 1700 steel) = 8.5 ticks (0.14 secs) per steel building pods

216.6 ticks (3.61 secs) per steel (scan + mine + pod + fuel from corn).

  • Plus loading time, plus combat time
