Construction Parts are a fundamental early game crafted product that will be used in large quantities.

They will subsequently be used for advanced tiers of Construction Parts II, Construction Parts III and Construction Parts IV.

Construction Parts may also offer early game trade possibilities with other villages.

Planning should include manufacturing a steady supply, preferably with machines supplied by conveyor belts to avoid using large number of trucks or having machines starved of inputs.

Later in the game, you can choose between Iron or Steel for building Construction Parts. Every 4 Construction Parts costs either 2 steel or 3 iron. However, one unit of Steel takes twice as much ore or scrap to smelt as one unit of Iron. This makes the Steel recipe less efficient in terms of metal consumption. However, the steel recipes also need less Wood and Concrete Slabs than the iron recipe, one less of each.

It may be worth it to continue to use Iron if you are more worried about running out of Iron Ore as a resource. Or, it may be better to use Steel because that will allow you to simplify things by stopping the production of Iron entirely.
