The Steelworks is a heavy duty industry that produces Steel 
using high temperatures generated by Coal 
or Diesel 
, and combining Iron 
from Foundry with Sand 
from Sand Quarry.
Processes
The basic Steelworks requires 1 Sand , 2 Coal and 4 Iron to generate 2 Steel per Game tick. There are 3 extensions that can improve the production further or use Diesel as fuel instead of Coal .
Fully upgraded Steelworks will produce 10 units of Steel , using up 2 Diesel , 7 Coal , 20 Iron ingots and 4 units of Sand in the process each Game tick.
Some of the buildings can be connected to the electrical network 
from Era 5 onward, which will further increase their production. The amount of electrification production bonus (if applicable) is shown in the brackets at each building.
The base process of the Steelworks is:
