Steel Ingot
Steel Ingots are made by combining Iron Ore and Coal in a Foundry.

Steel Ingot acquisition
Use the resource map to locate accessible Iron Ore and Coal deposits. Place the appropriate Miner on each node, transport both outputs, and process them together in a Foundry.

Before you go
- A Foundry with the Steel Ingot recipe available.
- Iron Ore and Coal delivered to the Foundry.
- Power and a clear ingot output route.
Farming steps
- Find an Iron Ore node on the map and check its purity and access.
- Find a Coal node and plan a route to bring both resources to the same factory.
- Place a Miner on each selected node and connect their outputs to the Foundry.
- Build and power the Foundry, then select Steel Ingot.
- Supply both inputs; each standard batch consumes 3 Iron Ore and 3 Coal and produces 3 Steel Ingots.
- Send the ingots to storage or to a Steel Beam, Steel Pipe, or other production line.
- At 100% clock, the standard recipe processes 45 Iron Ore and 45 Coal per minute to produce 45 Steel Ingots per minute.
- If resource or purity randomization is enabled for your world, use map settings that match it before choosing nodes.
- Unlocked alternate recipes can change the Foundry inputs and yields.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep both raw material feeds balanced and the ingot output clear. Continue production to match downstream demand.
Common mistakes
- Looking for Steel Ingots on a node instead of producing them in a Foundry.
- Feeding Iron Ore without Coal, or Coal without Iron Ore, and expecting the standard recipe to run.
When to stop or switch
Stop or reduce Foundry production once ingot storage and connected consumers have enough.
