Steel crucibles are a soft cap so is the charcoal in the crucible.

As far as the mining process goes, 2 buildings quality don't matter. Alloying Crucibles and Finery Forges.

Kilns, Smelters and Steel crucibles quality all act as quality modifiers. Kilns and smelters at the very least can boost the final product quality if they're higher in quality than the ore/charcoal involved. I don't have that information yet on steel crucibles.

In the processing of cast->(bloom/slag) and wrought->steel, quality only goes down, not up. If the result "should" go up in quality as a consequence of the equipment/fuel/coal all being of higher quality, it simply remains at the quality it had before being processed.

finery and crucible are softcap only
