Steel

Being used for crafting almost anything, steel may be the most important material when it comes to advanced technology. Getting steel is the very first step to start the atomic age - everything needs better and tougher parts.

Production
Steel can be made with the alloy furnace by combining coal with iron, this will give you two ingots of steel, or by shredding coal and iron, and then mixing them in a crafting table (this is more of a mid-game alternative as it requires the Shredder). Additionally, steel can also be found in abandoned structures such as radio stations and nuclear power plants - they don't need it anymore, right? Right?

Uses
Steel is most commonly used in the form of plates - cells, machine casings, bomb bodies, and grenades are made from it. Pure ingots can be used for crafting various deco elements such as scaffolds and thin walls and for crafting armor and tools. Steel tools will last twice as long as iron tools and mine blocks a little bit faster.

Properties

 * It's an alloy.
 * Alloys don't have atomic numbers and weight.
 * It consists of carbon (coal) and iron.
 * It has a hardness of 6,5 according to the mohs scale.

Trivia
This page was originally created my HBMinecraft, I only moved it to this wiki.
 * Steel can be made of diamonds since diamond is made of carbon (not in the mod though).
 * Thank Andrew Carnegie for mass-produced steel.
