Smelter
A processing machine for turning extracted ore into ingots.
This is a central transition from resource collection to component manufacture; plan the mine and smelter together.
When it fits: Add it when an ingot-consuming production target is selected.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 16 Limestone, 8 Copper Components at Assembler / Assembler MKII; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. The build recipe is one machine; ore delivery, fuel/power and ingot removal determine whether it can operate.
