The benefit is that steel slag chunks are renewable, as raiders and thus [[drop pod]] raiders are renewable. Even when steel ore is available, smelting allows non-miners to generate a supplemental source of steel. Later in the game, [[deep drill]]s can provide vast amounts of steel, but smelting is often faster (especially for non-miners) | The benefit is that steel slag chunks are renewable, as raiders and thus [[drop pod]] raiders are renewable.

− | It takes {{Required Resources|Electric smelter}} to make an electric smelter, which is quite costly (12 chunks to break-even). This | + | It takes {{Required Resources|Electric smelter}} to make an electric smelter, which is quite costly (12 chunks to break-even). This can discourage an electric smelter in the early game, before you have enough things to smelt. Since these chunks won't be going anywhere, you can wait an extended period of time before you actually build the smelter. Once you have smelted enough things, the smelter will provide a continuous stream of steel through chunks, weapons, and apparel. |
