21.1 Million Steel

Don't begin one of these HQ levels just because you've unlocked it.

Make sure its required building is ready and plan for the Steel requirement before committing your resources and speed-ups.

Steel appears as part of progression beyond HQ30.

Sources listed in the supplied guide include:

Don't automatically count Tyrant as a Steel source. Check the live rewards on your server to see whether Steel is actually included.

The supplied information describes a special event around the HQ31–35 rollout that can provide significant Steel through daily tasks.

If this event is active on your server, take advantage of it before it disappears.

That Steel can make the push to HQ31 considerably easier.

Having enough Steel doesn't mean you're ready.

The other major bottleneck is:

HQ31–35 construction timers can become extremely long. According to the supplied guide, the longest unbuffed timers can reach several months.

That's why construction bonuses become increasingly important after HQ30.
