How do I create steel armour?

[charlie]

I have the updated anvil after I destroyed the penguin UFO but there's no option to. And now I've beat the Penguin UFO what is there for me to do? No quests..

You have to build the ship upgrade after builind the metalwork station, which unlocks silver and steel armor.

silver armor goes into steel armor, just as copper goes into iron

[Astasia]

I was mistaken, full steel is 30 armor. Each race has a different name for their steel armor, but it is indeed T2 and unlocked after killing the first boss (and crafting the two items mentioned).

I've done the upgrading of my ship, and i saw a few more things I could craft, but I've yet to see the new armor I can make. It would be nice to find since literally EVERYHING kills me.

Never mind....

So wait, what exactly do I do now? I have a good weapon, iron armour and nothing else seemingly to do?

It's a sandbox game, this game isn't something for you if you need quests to play a game.

i dont think he needs quests so much as a means for progression. i know being slow on this game and seeing everyone else wearign all this cool gear with guns and stuff that do like 5634802674832 damage makes me wonder how to do that too. it may be a sandbox game, but you cant legitimately get that type of gear without progressing through the story.

... There arent much of a story yet.

To unlock tiers you need to craft and use the starmap upgrades.

[Important!!!] Its not the improved work stations that give access to the next tier (they are also needed to make said recepies, but they dont unlock them), its using the starmap upgrades [Important!!!]

To craft the first starmap upgrade you need a metal working station.
To craft a metal working station you need to defeat the UFO for a magma core (item needed to make said metal working station).

THis is what I love about playing this game, figuring those things out, having that upgraded anvil and thinking about what item you're going to craft next, shall it be this metalworking station? Grinding for it, crafting it, and then seeing how many cool stuff you can create with it. Awzumsausage! Is the Unfinished Robot worthed? I don't want to look it up on google because I want to see it for myself :)
