To set up a mining camp will take another 3 days, so it all takes around 11 days, and in the end you will be getting 27-45 plasteel per day. It usually takes around 8-9 days to find a plasteel meteorite that will give you around 300-500 of the material. Long range scanner is one of the most efficient ways to get plasteel. So once you discover it, send a mining party - a single deposit can have around 1000-2000 of plasteel. The chunk will probably be guarded, but since it is very light, you will be able to bring the whole thing to your base. Buld a Long Range Scannerīuilding this thing allows your scientists to search for some plasteel chunk.

The first choice of getting some plasteel is to smelt the starting knife - you won’t get much out of it, but it is something anyway. Once you discover a large deposit, it can cover almost all your needs (turrets, space ship). Plasteel is a rare material that exists in a form of mountain veins, and it is quite difficult to be found on a map - you may get one such vein on a large map, though.īut often, when you find such a vein it should have a large deposit of the material the same with deep drilling.
