In other words, is the fuel definitely used as a carbon source? I'm pretty sure this used to not be the case.

The damage %age relative to iron of just about everything else (silver weapons, copper weapons, etc.) is listed in the respective article. Do we know it for steel (I've noticed it's missing for adamantine as well,) or how to find it?--Eurytus 9:51 2 April 2008 (EST)

It is there, though it may not be in a standard location. --Savok 23:53, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

Carbon required?

The math on this page seems to be slightly off.

One carbon (coke or charcoal) is needed to create pig iron, and one to combine iron and pig iron into steel. This assumes a magma smelter.

However, four smelting operations are involved: two to make iron, one to make pig iron, and one to make steel. So if you're using a non-magma smelter, wouldn't this mean four MORE fuel, for a total of six, rather than just four total?

In other words, is the fuel definitely used as a carbon source? I'm pretty sure this used to not be the case.
