The '''steel plate''' is an advanced material made by smelting [[iron plate]]s again. It is used in many advanced recipes, including electrical distribution logistics, military items, and upgraded production machines. Some of these products in turn are used in the [[Production science pack]], which requires a total of 25 steel plates.


The Steel bar is an advanced material made from the Iron plate. It is used in many advanced recipes such as Heavy Armour and Piercing Bullet Magazine. Production of this item is enabled by [[Steel processing|Steel Processing]].
Because the recipe for steel contains a ratio of 5 iron : 1 steel, it requires less space to transport once processed. Because of this, it is easier to transport the finished steel instead of smelting the steel where it needs to be used.

The steel plate is an advanced material made by smelting iron plates again. It is used in many advanced recipes, including electrical distribution logistics, military items, and upgraded production machines. Some of these products in turn are used in the Production science pack, which requires a total of 25 steel plates.

Because the recipe for steel contains a ratio of 5 iron : 1 steel, it requires less space to transport once processed. Because of this, it is easier to transport the finished steel instead of smelting the steel where it needs to be used.
