Steel is a Tier 5 alloy of iron and carbon. As of version 1.19.7, it is the highest tier metal that can be created in the game: steel equipment and items have the highest durability, mining speed, attack power and damage reduction of all craftable tools.

Creation

See also Steel making

Steel is created through a complex process of heating and refining iron ores under very high heat and pressure. Creating steel from iron requires players to have set up a pulverizer , iron anvil, forge, large quantities of fuel including charcoal , coke , or any coal and the creation and use of a new structure called a cementation furnace. This furnace is made from special material known as refractory bricks, made from fire clay , and a variety of crushed minerals, as well as requiring special iron structures and a granite or andesite stone coffin.

The steelmaking process first produces an intermediate product called blister steel. Much like iron blooms, blister steel needs to be processed manually with a hammer or through use of a helve hammer before it is ready for use.

Usage

Steel ingots need an anvil Tier 3 (iron) or higher to be smithed into tools and equipment. The tier of metal doesn't matter for the hammer (or helve hammer) used. While a Steel anvil exists, there's currently no need for an anvil so advanced.

Notes

Tier 1 tools include stone and flint; no anvil is possible. Thus the tier numbers for metals/tools don't match the tier numbers for anvils.
