Heavy industry (Steel Works)

Steel works produce steel from ore, power and labor. Ore and labor is obtained from the connected transport or markets.

Power can be provided to the steel works in two ways. The first is burning coal. The second is from electricity, either inefficient low-voltage power from connected transport or high-voltage power directly from powerlines. Burning coal on site is more laborious. Windmills will barely provide enough power.

Steel works cause heavy pollution. You can see when Heavy Industry is working in the usual way, by clicking on it, and every so often the animation will come to life.

(3600 hi-volt or 7200 lo-volt) + 28 labor + 612 ore => 36 steel

(3600 hi-volt or 7200 lo-volt or 72 coal) + 46 labor + 612 ore => 36 steel

28 labor + 612 ore => 7 steel
