Steel Extraction

⚒️ Convert unwanted stone chunks into steel — Clean your map and get resources at the same time!
🔧 4 extraction options:
4 crafting for 1 stone = 10 steel
6 crafting for 3 stones = 30 steel
12 crafting for 1 stone = 20 steel
16 crafting for 3 stones = 60 steel
🧠 Skill-based steel yield: Higher Crafting skill unlocks bonus steel output from the same chunks (e.g., 30 → 60 steel).
📚 Experience gain: Colonists gain Crafting XP while extracting steel — they get smarter with every chunk!
📋 Ingredient filter UI: Choose exactly which stone types (granite, slate, marble, etc.) to use for extraction. One bill covers them all — no UI clutter!
🧰 Fully integrated into vanilla crafting: Works at both the Crafting Spot and Stonecutter’s Table.
🏕️ Great for tribal starts or resource-scarce biomes where steel is rare or deep drills are a late-game luxury.
Recipes are available from the start and require no research.
Works with all vanilla stone chunk types.
I suggest to play with Mad Skills.

Because skill decay is just stupid for me.
