For everyone who has bobs tall tales or not, if you are wondering how to get element for the steam forge without beating Rockwell, you can craft this using:

Red Gems

Blue Gems

Green Gems

Gas Balls

Charge Batteries

For gems I reccomend at least 25 of each, for charge batteries you need 4 or 6, and gas balls I think 20. Hope this helps everyone.
