Editing Steel/Calculations

{{Main|Steel}}

==Mining steel ore==
Relevant stats: [[Mining Speed]], [[Mining Yield]], [[difficulty]].

*Steel ore has 1500 HP, and each "swing" takes 80 HP regardless of skill. Always 19 swings. Mining Speed directly multiplies time per swing.
*Steel ore gives {{icon small|steel}} 40 steel. Mining Yield & difficulty are direct multipliers.
*Variable travel time.

For 8 Mining skill, healthy pawn :
*{{ticks|1900}} to mine an ore. Mining Speed = 100%. {{Check Tag|Verify|Empirically tested. I took a stopwatch on a mining 8 pawn, then rounded to a pretty number.}}
*40 steel per ore. Mining Yield = 100%.
*(1900 ticks / 40 steel) = {{ticks|1900/40}} per steel.
*Plus travel time.

==Deconstruction==
Relevant stats: [[Construction Speed]], item in question

*All items give half their {{icon small|steel}} steel. For half-quantities of steel, the game will randomly round up or down.
*Deconstruction speed seems to be more or less equal to an items' Work to Build.

For 8 Construction skill, healthy pawn, against a wall:
*{{ticks|135}} to deconstruct a steel wall. Construction Speed = 100%.
*2.5 steel per ore.
*(135 ticks / 2.5 steel) = {{ticks|135/2.5}} per steel.
*Plus travel time.

==Smelting==
Relevant stats: [[General Labor Speed]], item smelted

===Steel slag chunks===
For a healthy pawn:
*{{ticks|400}} per chunk. [[General Labor Speed]] = 100%
*15 steel per chunk.
*(400 ticks / 15 steel) = {{ticks|400/15 round 1}} per steel
*Plus travel time.

===Weapons and apparel===
For a healthy pawn:
*{{ticks|1600}} per item. [[General Labor Speed]] = 100%
*7 steel per autopistol / steel knife. More steel for any other item (25% of item worth)
**You also get any other resources used to craft the item, other than [[component]]s/[[advanced component]]s and [[chemfuel]].
*(1600 ticks / 7 steel) = {{ticks|1600/7 round 1}} per steel

==Shredding==
Relevant stats: [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency]], [[Mechanoid Shredding Speed]], mechanoid type, Missing Body Parts, whenever done on a [[machining table]]

For 10 Crafting skill, healthy pawn:
*{{ticks|300}} to shred a mechanoid. [[Mechanoid Shredding Speed]] = 100%. Constant per mechanoid.
*15 steel per scyther or lancer. 0% Missing Body Parts.
*(300 ticks / 15 steel) = {{ticks|400/15 round 1}} per steel
*10 steel per militor -> 5 steel @ 50% Missing Body parts
*(300 ticks / 5 steel) = {{ticks|400/5 round 1}} per steel

==Deep Drilling==
Relevant stats: [[Research Speed]], [[Deep Drilling Speed]], [[Mining Yield]]

For 8 Intellectual + 8 Mining skill, healthy pawn(s):
*{{ticks|180000}} average to find ''any'' deposit. [[Research Speed]] = 100%.
**(4/7.5) = 53% to get steel. {{ticks|180000*7.5/4}} average to find a steel deposit. (not rounded in calculations)
**Average 9000 steel per deposit. 
**(180000 ticks * .53 steel / 9000 ticks) = {{ticks|180000*7.5/4/9000 round 1}} per steel scan
*{{ticks|14000}} per deep drill cycle. [[Deep Drilling Speed]] = 100%.
*35 steel per deep drill cycle. [[Mining Yield]] = 100%.
*(14000 ticks / 35 steel) = {{ticks|14000/35}} per steel spent mining
*{{ticks|(180000*7.5/4/9000) + (14000/35)}} per steel scan + mining.
*Plus travel time.

==Long-range mineral scanner==
Relevant stats: [[Research Speed]], [[Mining Speed]], [[Mining Yield]], means of travel

For 8 Intellectual + 8 Mining skill, healthy pawn(s):
*{{ticks|240000}} average to find ''any'' deposit. [[Research Speed]] = 100%.
