Steel or Bronze?

[GingerHunter797]

Today I figured out I could make bronze from copper and steel. So I turned all my steel into bronze. I was just wondering which is better, steel or bronze. I cant tell a difference between them.

For tools, Bronze last longer than steel. But I wouldn't convert ALL of your steel into bronze, because most of the other things that can be built in minetest require steel, such as rails, buckets, carts, etc.
You can learn a lot about which tools last the longest by looking on the wiki:

Once you get deep enough to start finding diamond, you hardly use bronze at all anymore. I think we need more recipes that use copper and bronze.

IF( technic or an other copper-using mod is installed )
don't use bronze
ELSE
use bronze because it's a tiny bit better than steel

...anyway, I've never used bronze tools, since I usually play with Technic. Even when I don't, mese comes soon enough that I don't worry too much about metals.
