Plasteel is the strongest material in the game. Commonly used for high tech items, especially ship engines and other modules, which are needed to build a spaceship to escape the planet and win the game.
Can be obtained by
- trading,
- disassembling a dead Mechanoid,
- mining compacted plasteel deposits,
- using a deep drill on an underground plasteel vein.
Plasteel can be used to make some very tough defensive turrets and walls, so consider setting some aside to shore up your frontline against raiders. Plasteel can also be used to craft very powerful melee weapons and armor, and is needed for advanced components.
Ore
Compacted plasteel tiles have 8,000 health each, making it the slowest ore to mine and the toughest object in-game. They can be found in smaller veins, ranging from 2 to 8 tiles in size. Each mined block has a base yield of 40 plasteel, however this is modified by factors such as the Difficulty setting and the mining yield of the pawn.
