The Steel Sheet is a large flat panel of steel. It is the main sheet stock for Welding and for forging pans and buckets.

Welders use it for barricades, crates, ovens and armour. Build Metal Sheet Barricade covers a door or window with one sheet. Make Scrap Metal Helmet and Make Scrap Metal Body Armor turn sheets into heavy protection. At the forge it becomes a Frying Pan, Roasting Pan, Baking Pan, Baking Tray or Bucket. Many crafts also cut it into four Steel Sheet - Small.

Sheets are common in metal shops, welding workshops, garages and sheds. They can also be forged from a Steel Block or welded from small sheets. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.

Uses

Welding takes the most sheets. Build Metal Sheet Barricade uses one sheet, one Welding Torch fuel and Welding Rods at Welding level 3. Feeding Trough Metal (Double) takes four sheets at level 3. Build Metal Crate (Shoddy) takes two sheets and two small sheets at level 3, and the full Metal Crate needs level 7. Build Metal Barrel Oven needs level 5.

Scrap armour and weapons come next. Make Scrap Metal Helmet uses two sheets at Welding level 5. Make Scrap Metal Body Armor uses four sheets with Leather Strips and Buckle at Welding level 6. Make Scrap Metal Chopper welds one sheet onto a Steel Rod or Iron Pipe at level 5.

At the forge, one sheet and four charcoal make a Frying Pan, Roasting Pan, Baking Pan or Baking Tray at Blacksmithing level 2. Forge Bucket adds Wire and needs level 3.

Cutting it down is just as common. Snip 4 Small Metal Sheets and Saw Steel Sheet need only snips or a metal saw. Cut Metal Sheet uses a Metal Bandsaw. Split Metal Sheet works at a forge at Blacksmithing level 3. Cut 4 Small Metal Sheets uses a welding torch at Welding level 4. Each gives four Steel Sheet - Small.

How to Get Steel Sheet

Forge Steel Sheet hammers a Steel Block into a sheet at a Simple Forge or better. It needs Blacksmithing level 4 and must be learned first.

Make Metal Sheet welds four Steel Sheet - Small back into one sheet. It takes two Welding Torch fuel and needs Welding level 4.

Research Craft on the sheet teaches Sheet Metal-Reinforce Weapon.

Locations

Metal shops and metal shipping rooms always hold sheets. Garage storage crates hold one more often than not. Welding workshops and welding storage hold them more than half the time. Garage and shed counters and shelves hold one about one time in three. Warehouses, tool stores and metal fabrication rooms hold one about one time in five.

Notes

  • One sheet barricades a door or window with a welding torch.
  • Snips cut one sheet into four small sheets with no skill needed.
  • Four small sheets weld back into one full sheet.
  • Scrapping a full sheet yields four times the metal of a small sheet.
  • Garage storage is the most reliable place outside metal shops.
