Plate is used for construction and research.

• Your available Plate is listed in an inventory, after you get some.

Access

Plate appears, on Crafting, after you research Metalwork on Technologies.

• You can craft Plate, after you research Metalwork.
• Metalwork has a requirement to access and research.

Technology required:
Technology	Requirement	Research cost
Metalwork	invest 40 000 Knowledge in any branch	Iron	750
		Steel	400
		Knowledge	1 700

• You can also get some Plate when you salvage a Cargo train, at Market.

Craft
