"Iron, although it is not the most precious, yet it is the most necessary of all metals for the use of man; notwithstanding it may be disputed, whether the good or hurt it hath done in the world, be the greater…"

– James Hodges, Treatises upon Metals, Mines and Minerals

To refine the various ores of the earth into usable metals requires the significant skill and forbearance of the trained metallurgist. Metallurgy allows you to construct and use Ore Smelters.

Smelting

The amount Ore Metal Bars produced in your Ore Smelter icon.png Ore Smelter is based partially on chance but mostly influenced by the Ore/Lime ratio and your Alloying Artifact Bonus. Currently, the best Ore/Lime ratio is 13x Lime icon.png Lime and 12x Any Ore icon.png Any Ore of one type. To smelt place your Lime and Ore in a lit Ore Smelter. After about 40 minutes 1x, or rarely 2x, of your Ores will be replaced with a corresponding Ore Metal Bar and the rest of your Ore will have become Dross icon.png Dross. Each time a Dross is produced there is a chance for it become A Face in the Dross icon.png A Face in the Dross instead. Using a Little Limestone icon.png Little Limestone in place of one of your Limes may also increase the number of Metal Bars that are created.

Ore Metals

Ore Metals are Metal Bars that can be made from Metal Ore Mine icon.png Mined straight from the earth. Any Ore icon.png Any Ore Chipped from an Ore Boulder icon.png Ore Boulder can be smelted in a lit Ore Smelter icon.png Ore Smelter to make Ore Metal Bars.
