I keep screwing up the math.

Assuming I don't have lava, how many resources total will it take for me to create one full set of steel plate mail armor, including:

Plate Armor
Leggings
Greaves
Gauntlets (does it make 1 or 2 gauntlets when you assign this task??)
Helm
Boots (same question - do I need to queue it up twice to get 2 boots?)
Shield

After all that the expense for a weapon almost seems trivial...

Well, each steel bar is 5 logs for charcoal, 2 flux, 2 iron ore. Boots/gauntlets are indeed produced in a pair for 1 bar, so I'm getting 11 bars total there, plus 7 charcoal for the forging... 62 logs, 22 flux, 22 iron ore? I could be wrong.

Whoops, that's not right, you're getting 2 steel bars for each 5 logs/2 flux/2 iron ore. So you'd only need to go through that 6 times. 37 logs, 12 flux, 12 iron ore, and you'd have 1 steel bar left over.

Holy shit that's a lot of wood. Even if you use bituminous coal that's still a LOT of fuel.

[Captain Goatse]

Use a cleaner language, please.  However, bituminous coal/lignite are plentiful, you should not worry about that.

[Akael]

Isn't there a bug in this version that makes one bituminous coal "ore" produce only one unit of coal when smelted?

[RPB]

No, that was the first new release. The current version has that fixed.

That was a bug in 32a, fixed in 33a.  All smelter operations now output the correct amount of bars.
