Once Human: How to Craft Steel Ingots

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent in various survival and crafting games, I cannot stress enough the importance of Steel Ingots in Once Human. These versatile items are essential for progression, especially during the initial and intermediate stages of the game. Their use in ammunition, weaponry, buildings, tools, and machinery makes them a valuable addition to any gamer’s inventory.


In the early and mid stages of “Once Human,” Steel Ingots play a crucial role. They’re essential for creating ammunition and weapons. Not only are they cost-effective, but they also serve as a foundational resource. You’ll encounter them frequently in various aspects of the game such as building structures, crafting tools, and operating machinery. Thus, having an adequate supply of Steel Ingots is highly recommended.

As a seasoned miner with years of experience under my belt, I can tell you that crafting steel ingots is no easy task. It all starts with mining iron ores, which are essential components for producing these valuable building blocks. However, if you don’t have an effective loadout or know the precise locations of these elusive ores, accumulating them can be quite a challenge.

To make Steel Ingots, you need to gather the required materials and then learn how to forge them. You can find this skill in the Infrastructure tab, specifically in the third section.

It’s fortunate that you don’t have to put in extensive effort or make significant advancements in “Once Human” to acquire Forging Techniques; instead, possessing the Bronze Pickaxes Memetic is sufficient.

How to Craft the Bronze Pickaxe in Once Human

A Bronze Pickaxe is crucial for extracting Iron ores to make Steel Ingots. It’s useful in various scenarios too. To manufacture a Bronze Pickaxe, gather these resources:

2x Hide These can be accumulated from animals, primarily by hunting them.
5x Log These can be accumulated by chopping down trees in the wild.
7x Bronze Ingots This can be crafted using the 5x Tin Ore, 3x Copper Ores and 1 unit of Charcoal. Tin Ores are mainly found in areas like the Dayton Wetlands and the Broken Delta.

Where to Find Iron Ores

Fortunately, unlike Silver, which is scarce, Iron Ores are abundant and can be discovered in various places such as the Highlands, the Despoiled Camps, and the Overlook Lumberyard.

The best location to locate Iron Ore is the Iron River, which, as the name suggests, is abundant in iron-containing components. The area is ranked level-28, meaning that the enemies present there are not only relatively stronger but harder to defeat as well. Hence, if you plan to move towards the Iron River and mine the Iron Ores, make it quick, complete quests (if any), and leave as soon as possible.

Using the

in Iron Rivers is a viable option to head back to your base and start crafting the Steel Ingots.

How to Craft Steel Ingots

At your destination, you can begin producing Steel Ingots by utilizing either the Furnace or Electrical Furnace. Before starting this procedure, ensure you have some Charcoal on hand. This charcoal can be obtained from Wood that is already present in the Furnace. Once prepared, initiate the smelting process for Steel Ingots with 5 Iron Ores and one unit of Charcoal.

If you use Electric Furnace, you don’t need any Charcoal to craft Steel Ingots.
