Smelter (Small)
Machine
A small-scale metal processing building.
MachineRecipe chain depth 41 supported recipe route
WHY CONSIDER IT
It turns a metal plan into an operating line; compare its role with upstream ore handling and downstream ingot demand.
When it fits: Use it for a compact initial metallurgy route or when the plan calls for this footprint.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 10 Xenoferrite Plates, 4 Machinery Parts, 4 Electronic Components at Assembler I / Assembler II / Assembler III; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. Smelting needs ore and operating support; its construction recipe does not describe sustained yield or heat.
