GeneralCamo: Fixed the HAYO

'''Steel''' (the metal formerly known as '''refined iron''') is a metal resource added by IC². It is ''not'' generated as ore, but must be created from [[Iron]] in a {{Gin|Blast Furnace}}.

== Forms ==
As steel has no ore, it does not go through [[ore processing]]; steel ingots are produced in a {{Gin|Blast Furnace}} from iron (in some form) plus 6000 mB of Air, obtained by placing {{Gin|Universal Fluid Cell}}s in a {{Gin|Compressor}}.

Steel also has no dust form; if [[Macerator|macerated]] in ingot or dense plate form, it will return {{Gin|Iron Dust}}.

(Note that the blast furnace UI below is outdated.)

|Output1=Steel Ingot
|Output2=Slag}}
|{{Grid/Machine
|Type=Macerator
|Top=Steel Ingot;Dense Steel Plate
|Output=Iron Dust;Iron Dust,8}}
|}

These forms of steel are seen during [[metal shaping]]:
* {{Gin|Steel Ingot}}
* {{Gin|Steel Block}}
* {{Gin|Steel Plate}}
* {{Gin|Dense Steel Plate}}
* {{Gin|Steel Item Casing}}
* {{Gin|Shaft (Steel)}}

== Uses ==
Steel in plate form is used in crafting {{Gin|Advanced Machine Casing}}s for making the more complex machinery of IC².

It is also used to make:
* subcomponents for the steel and carbon rotors {{Gin|Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)|}} {{Gin|Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Carbon)|}} used in the {{Gin|Kinetic Wind Generator}}
* steel and diamond blades {{Gin|Block Cutting Blade (Steel)|}} {{Gin|Block Cutting Blade (Diamond)|}} for the {{Gin|Block Cutting Machine}}
* {{Gin|Steam Turbine Blade}}
* {{Gin|Kinetic Steam Generator}}

== HAYO ==

Now some further instructions for those customers, who bought the slightly less expensive versions of this products-row in crafting blueprints form.

I would still recommend that you BUY all [[machine]]s instead, but if you really want to, you may craft them as well.

First of all, you need the basic resource for all kind of advanced machines:

It's secret knowledge revealed to you now, but with a little machine, you can actually '''smelt iron ingots to even better iron ingots called steel'''! Isn't that great?

'''They look better AND for sure are much more useful!'''

Cell of highly refined water, made from placing a [[Water Cell]] into an extractor to make a hydration cell.

Simply right-clicking the cell onto some IC [[Crops]] will consume some of the water and hydrate the plant for a while. Hydration Cells can no longer be used inside a [[Crop-Matron]], due to the fragile nature of the cell that they are contained in. Instead, Water can be directly pumped in or manually inserted using [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s of Water.

As well, we recently started experiments with a liquid called H2OEX2, simply referred to as "HowToHex". HowToHex can be refined from basic water by using the patented Extraction device "Dejuicer Device of Doom", created and sold by our co-corporation "Industrial Craft Machine Corp.". Fill a metric litre of water (simplifie to the intelligence level of a common employee: a bucket) into a patented "Tin Cell" and refine this cell within the Extractor. Thanks to some recent optimization provided by "Player Industries", an associate of "Industrial Craft Machine Corp.", you no longer need to refine it twice to get a Hydration Cell! Isn't that neat?
