What does the Vulcan Metalworks do?

The Vulcan Metalworks can be thought as a Smelter/Machine Shop hybrid for the new Aerospace materials and components needed in creating Hoppers (Except for Engines, which are made in the Velociraptor Engine Factory). It can also create the Cryogenic Canisters needed for the production of Rocket Fuel and purified gases.

The Vulcan Metalworks is needed to make Stainless Steel and Alu-Lit Alloy, two new metals used primarily for Aerospace. Stainless Steel is made from a mixture of Steel and Chromium, while Alu-Lit Alloy is made from Aluminum and Lithium.

Stainless Steel and Alu-Lit Alloy are the primary components needed for all Hopper components. Requiring a large amount of them in order to make. From all of this crafting, the Vulcan Metalworks will produce a byproduct known as Slag.

Certain recipes will require more Slag Storage than the maximum a maxed out Vulcan Metalworks can hold. This is intentional, you need to upgrade the Slag Storage tanks at max level in order to perform those tasks.

Slots / Rarity

The Vulcan Metalworks has two different types of Task Slots. Generic Task Slots include most of the recipes that actually produce items. While Slag Management Task Slots are used to manage the amount of slag within the building.

Vulcan Metalworks Setup Recipes

Most buildings in the Aerospace Expansion will require a series of Setup tasks. These are one-time only recipes that you must complete before you can start using a building.
