Steel Foam Mod

Author of the Steel Foam Mod: mlie

Steel Foam Mod introduces Steel Foam, a lightweight and fire-resistant alternative material that can be produced from steel and used for construction, offering a different balance between durability and resource efficiency.

Steel Foam Mod Features

  • New material: Adds Steel Foam, an aerated iron-carbon alloy that is cheap, light, and easy to work with.
  • Fire-resistant properties: Suitable for situations where fire safety is important.
  • Brittle behavior: Strong but fragile, making it less durable under impact.
  • Material conversion: Convert 5 steel into 75 steel foam at the electric smelter, and smelt foam back into steel.
  • Crafting requirement: Requires level 10 crafting skill to produce Steel Foam, while converting it back into steel is easier.
