Research Basic Steelmaking

Research Basic Steelmaking is a research entry in Foundry that unlocks the basic steelmaking branch of the technology tree. It is primarily a prerequisite step for progressing into steel-related production and the machinery or processes that depend on it.

Its research cost is listed as:

• 35
• 35
• 20
• 20 seconds per item

Because this is a research node, it is completed through the normal research system rather than being built or crafted directly. The main practical consideration is the time investment: the last value indicates a 20-second research time per item, so planning for researcher throughput matters if you want to reach steel production quickly.
