Steel

Steel is an advanced material which can be used to create tools and Armor, and comes in a few different varieties: Steel, Black Steel, Red Steel, and Blue Steel.

In order to create steel, you must first create Pig Iron in a Blast Furnace, and cast it into Ingots.

Tier III

A Pig Iron Ingot can then be worked in an anvil to create a High Carbon Steel ingot, which can be worked again to create a Steel Ingot

Black Steel

Black Steel is an advanced form of steel formed from an alloy of steel and some other metals. In order to create it, you will need to create an alloy called Weak Steel in a Crucible.

Weak Steel

Requirements:

50 - 70 % : Steel
15 - 25 % : Nickel
15 - 25 % : Black Bronze

Molten Weak Steel can be cast into ingots.

Weak Steel Ingots can then be welded with Pig Iron Ingots to create High Carbon Black Steel Ingots. Finally, these can be worked on an Anvil to create Black Steel Ingots.

Black Steel can be used to craft tools and Armor, and also is used as a key ingredient in the creation of Blue Steel and Red Steel.

Blue Steel

Blue Steel is one of the two highest tier metals, along with Red Steel. Similar to Black Steel, the first step is to create an alloy of Weak Blue Steel in a Crucible.

Weak Blue Steel

Requirements:

50 - 55 % : Black Steel
20 - 25 % : Steel
10 - 15 % : Bismuth Bronze
10 - 15 % : Sterling Silver

Recipe: tfc:welding/high_carbon_blue_steel_ingot

Weak Blue Steel Ingots can be welded with Black Steel Ingots to create High Carbon Blue Steel Ingots. Finally, these can be worked on an Anvil to create Blue Steel Ingots.

Blue Steel can be used to create tools and Armor, and a Blue Steel Bucket. The blue steel bucket is a powerful bucket capable of transporting source blocks of lava and molten metals. Blue steel is also used as a crafting ingredient in one of the most sought after items in the game... a Bucket.

Red Steel

Red Steel is one of the two highest tier metals, along with Blue Steel. Similar to Black Steel, the first step is to create an alloy of Weak Red Steel in a Crucible.

Weak Red Steel

Requirements:

50 - 55 % : Black Steel
20 - 25 % : Steel
10 - 15 % : Brass
10 - 15 % : Rose Gold

Recipe: tfc:welding/high_carbon_red_steel_ingot

Weak Red Steel Ingots can be welded with Black Steel Ingots to create High Carbon Red Steel Ingots. Finally, these can be worked on an Anvil to create Red Steel Ingots.

Red Steel can be used to create tools and Armor, and a Red Steel Bucket. The red steel bucket is a powerful bucket capable of transporting source blocks of water and other fluids. Red steel is also used as a crafting ingredient in one of the most sought after items in the game... a Bucket.
