Background

For the development of modern civilization, steel has played a vital role. Steel is not to be confused with iron. Iron is used as the base metal to produce steel. With the invention of steel, we have overcome the ductility of iron and gained a strong metal to fulfill our need.

Steel is an alloy of iron, composed of carbon content ranging from 0.03% to 1.075%, and often other elements. It has high tensile strength with low cost, thus becoming a major component for the construction of buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, automobiles, machines, appliances, and weapons. It is one of the most familiar materials in the world, with an industry of productions exceeding 1.3 billion tons a year.

Gameplay

Steel is a very important resource in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic and is widely applicable. Steel is used in almost every construction to be built. Steel exports are very profitable, although the price depends on the global market. Steel can also be used as a semi-finished product, for example in the production of vehicles, trains and ships.
