The strongest material in the game. Used for a lot of high tech stuff, 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 veins contain between 2 and 8 tiles. Each mined block yields 40 plasteel. Each chunk of ore has 8,000 HP, making it the slowest ore to mine and the toughest item in-game.
