Steel Mine
The Steel Mine extracts metallic ores from the planetary crust and refines them into industrial steel.
Steel is the most widely used construction material in the galaxy and forms the backbone of planetary infrastructure and fleet construction.
Mechanics
- Produces Steel per hour.
- Production increases significantly with each level.
- Planetary richness modifiers may influence extraction efficiency.
Lore
Steel remains the structural foundation of most starship hulls, orbital stations, and planetary megastructures.
Modern mining complexes bore deep into planetary crusts using automated drilling rigs and orbital scanning systems to identify high-density ore veins.
Entire mountain ranges have been hollowed out by these operations across the frontier.
Strategy
Steel Mines are typically the **highest priority early economic building**.
Steel is required for:
- Ships
- Buildings
- Defenses
