If you are an Engineer, it is NOT a good idea to convert all your Iron to Steel through the Mining Smelting ability. The only thing Engineers need Steel for is a Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor, which only requires 4 Steel Bars, and once you've made one of them, you'll never need to make another one unless you vendor or destroy your first one.
Steel can not be mined, it is made.
Considering how extremely useful steel is in modern machinery, it's really hard to understand why this is.
