About

An Ore Smelter icon.png Ore Smelter is an Ignitable Structure used to Smelt Ore into Ore Metal Bars. It has room for 25x items. An Ore Smelter must be built outside. An Ore Smelter only accepts Charcoal icon.png Charcoal as Fuel.

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.
