Connect the documented inputs
For Steel Mill, inspect Iron Ore, Coal in the industry window before selecting a supply route. Follow each required input to its documented producer and check a complete path into the facility. Where no required cargo input is listed, do not invent a resource delivery merely to fill a recipe field.
Plan the output destination
The listed output of Steel Mill is Sheet Metal, Steel. Find the next processor or a town district with actual demand for that output. Check the pickup terminal, cargo-compatible vehicles and any transfer warehouse. Output waiting in stock is a different constraint from missing input deliveries.
Separate boosts and climate
The industry table lists these cargo boosters: No cargo booster listed. Worker supply is recorded separately. The documented free-game climates are Temperate, Dry, Tropical, Subarctic; this is the table scope rather than a promise of a particular generated map location. Compare optional supply with downstream transport capacity before expanding the chain.
Verify the recipe in your save
The production rule in Quick facts is attributed to the official manual. It is not an independent release-build benchmark and does not establish annual output, a selling price or a vehicle capacity. Record the save difficulty, economy settings, mods and installed version when comparing production. Release-build version: Unknown.
