Nerosteel Ore

The primary metal of the Greenxertz planet.

Overview#

Nerosteel is an iron-class metal and the backbone of mid-game crafting — rockets, the Oxygen Suit, machines and station blocks are all built from Nerosteel Ingots. Greenxertz is its home and its abundant source, but a small, deep seam also occurs on the Overworld so the metal that gates your first rocket is reachable before you ever leave home.

Obtaining#

• Mining: requires an iron-tier pickaxe or better. Drops Raw Nerosteel (Fortune-affected).
• Generation:

  • Overworld: a rare, deep seam — roughly y −56 to y 16 (peaking below sea level), about a

    40% as common as on Greenxertz (4 veins per chunk vs 10). Enough to bootstrap the power grid and a first rocket.

  • Greenxertz: common throughout the dimension, in a triangular band roughly y −32 to y 72 —

    the place to mine it in bulk once you arrive.

Use#

• Smelt or blast Raw Nerosteel (or the ore) into a Nerosteel Ingot.

• The Nerosium Grinder turns 1 ore into 2 Raw Nerosteel.

• Nerosteel Ingots craft the Rocket Launch Pad, Fuel Tank,

  Oxygen Generator, Station Floor/Wall, the Oxygen Suit, and the rockets themselves.
