Steel is a raw resource, crucial throughout the game for different purposes, such as construction of various structures, and production of weapons and armor.
Steel can be mined out of compacted steel on the map, purchased from bulk goods traders, extracted from steel slag chunks and most gear made using steel by pawns at an electric smelter, or salvaged by disassembling mechanoids. Research and construction of deep drills in mid-late game allows extraction of large deposits underground. Although steel is common on most maps, it is still a limited resource, and should not be used carelessly.
Ore
Compacted steel tiles have 1,500 health each, making them one of the faster ores to mine. They can be found in larger-sized clusters, ranging around 30+ tiles in size. Each mined block has a base yield of 40 steel, however this is modified by factors such as the Difficulty setting and the mining yield of the pawn.
