Steel can be smelted at a smelter by a dwarf with the furnace operator labor activated. It is an extremely durable metal and is highly valuable.
The method for making steel is unbearably accurate. Steel is one of few materials that can resist melting when immersed in magma. Weapons and armor made from steel are 33% stronger than equivalent iron objects.
Recipe
The recipe for steel is:
When the above items are combined at a smelter, the product is two bars of steel; the carbon and flux are lost in the reaction, but the pig iron and iron are combined into steel.
Production chain
The following amount of materials are needed to produce two steel bars:
- Two iron bars
- Two units of flux
- Two units refined coal
The following steps are performed to produce two steel bars from the above materials:
- Make pig iron bars (creates one pig iron bar)
- One iron bar
- One unit of flux
- One unit of refined coal
- Make steel bars (creates two steel bars)
- One iron bar
- One pig iron bar
- One unit of flux
- One unit of refined coal
The tasks Make Pig Iron Bars and Make Steel Bars use the same materials at either smelter. At a normal smelter, the refined coal is needed as a reagent but will also act as the fuel needed for the smelting operation. At a magma smelter, the refined coal is needed only as a reagent.
Once steel bars are produced, they are used just like other normal metal bars. The flux and refined coal reagents are only needed during the smelting.
