expedition 3 is the best way to efficiently farm steel, but most of us cant really sit in front of the browser all day playing.

expedition 18 is good for me because i prefer to just send my ship off and come back few hours later. S success gives you 450 steel per 5 hours.

If you are feeling lucky you can always go 3-2. Anything other than pure DD team lineup gets sent to the steel node. Now that they have fix the steel exploitation you have to finish the node after the steel node to get the steel. You most likely ended up spending all the earned steel for ship repairs afterwards but hey RNG may be good to you.
