v0.31:Steel
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Steel is the best common metal for smithing Template:L and Template:L. Products made with steel have a very high value, equal to that of Template:L.
Steel can be smelted at a Template:L by a Template:L with the Template:L Template:L activated.
Recipe
Steel production is fairly complex compared to the creation of other alloys. Note: in steelmaking, Template:L or charcoal is used as an ingredient AND, if possible, as a fuel. Regardless of the type of smelter used, the same amount of fuel is required to create steel.
The first step is to create Template:L:
- 1 bar of iron
- 1 Template:L stone
- 1 unit of fuel
Produces:
- 1 bar of pig iron
The second step combines the pig iron with more iron to produce steel:
- 1 bar of iron
- 1 bar of pig iron
- 1 flux stone
- 1 unit of fuel
Produces:
- 2 bars of steel
The total reaction consumes 2 units of flux, 2 units of fuel, and 2 bars of iron. This produces 2 bars of steel.
