Smelter

“	Smelting ore down to usable ingots has never been this easy! Feed it whatever ore you find, set the recipe, and out comes the life-blood of any successful factory!	„
	~ Caterina Parks's assistant Steve

The Smelter is a building used to smelt raw ores into ingots.

Overclocking[]

Main article: Clock speed

The Smelter can be overclocked using Power Shards. Overclocking increases the input/output speed of the Smelter at the cost of exponentially increased power demand.

Clock speed	25%	50%	75%	100%	150%	200%	250%
Consumption (MW)	0.44	1.32	2.52	4	7.65	12.13	17.33

Tips[]

All Smelter recipes have more effective alternatives in Refineries, obtained as alternate recipes. In the late game, Smelters can be completely replaced by Refineries, at the cost of requiring a bit more space and drawing more power, but greatly increasing ingot yield (except for Aluminum).

History[]

Patch 0.3.4.6: Fixed incorrect material application on the Smelter and Foundry
Patch 0.3.1.0: Updated VFX for the Smelter and Coal Generator
Patch 0.3: Clearance tweaks for Foundry, Constructor & Smelter
Patch 0.1.10: Re-aligned Foundry and Smelter's inputs to allow for tighter connections
Patch 0.1.9: Adjusted alignments of I/O:s on Foundry, Coal Generator, Fuel Generator, Oil Refinery, Constructor, Smelter and Assembler
Patch 0.1.5: Clearance adjustments for Smelters, Constructors, and Assemblers
Patch Closed Alpha 3: Implemented the Significance Manager and added support for Smelters and Constructors
Patch Closed Alpha 2: Building Sounds: Smelter and miner will no longer animate & make sounds when idle.
