Metal
Metal
Found in: Engineering, Auxiliary Tool Storage, E.V.A., Robotics,
Atmospherics, Mining Station. Shaft Miners have the ability to smelt more.
Used for: Constructing various things from supportive elements to decorations
Strategy: Hold in active hand and activate to start building
Description
List of things you can make with having metal in your hand and activating it:

Things you can do with it in your hand:

  • Finish wall girders into walls.
  • Repair broken walls.
  • Add armor to turret frames.
  • Refill robotic fabricator, autolathe or protolathe.

Plasteel
Found in: Small stacks exist in Engineering, E.V.A. and Robotics.
Shaft Miners have the ability to smelt more.
Used for: Reinforcing walls and building an AI core
Strategy: Hold in active hand and activate to start building
Description
Plasteel is an alloy of plasma and iron.

List of things you can make having plasteel in your hand and activating it:

Found in: Small stacks exist in Engineering, Auxiliary Tool Storage, E.V.A.,
Atmospherics and Robotics. Shaft Miners have the ability to smelt more.
Used for: Constructing windows and other things
Strategy: Hold in active hand and activate to start building
Description
Here's the list of things you can make with having glass/reinforced glass in your hand and activating it:

Rods
Rods
Found in: Small stacks exist in Engineering, Auxiliary Tool Storage, E.V.A..
More can be made from metal.
Used for: Constructing grilles and other things
Strategy: Hold in active hand and use it on things
Description
Here's the list of things you can make with having rods in your active hand:
  • Grille (By clicking in your hand)
  • Lattice (For floors, by clicking on the tile)
  • Kabob
  • Reinforcing tables
  • Reinforcing floors (By clicking on the tile)
  • Flamethrower
  • Reinforcing glass into reinforced glass. (Have rods in hand while clicking glass sheet)
  • Can be turned back into metal sheets by being welded with a Welding Tool

Floor Tiles

Found in: Ready stacks can be found nowhere, can be made from deconstructing
tables or growing Tower caps and cutting them up.
Used for: Constructing various things from sandals and coffins to decorations
Strategy: Hold in active hand and activate it to start constructing
Description
Obtainable by cutting Tower cap logs with a hatchet.
