Iron Purity

The Purity of a Bar of Pig Iron icon.png Bar of Pig Iron comes from the Iron Ore Boulder icon.png Iron Ore Boulder the Iron Ore icon.png Iron Ore used to make it, was Chipped from.

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 at least one 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. The number of metal bars depends on the alloying artifact bonus, the smelter’s previous run, and chance.

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.
