Smelter
The first production machine: smelts a single ore into ingots.
- Recipe
- 1 ore in, 1 ingot out
- Power
- 4 MW
The Smelter turns a single raw ore into ingots: iron, copper, or Caterium. It is the entry point of almost every production chain and draws 4 MW of power.
Where It All Starts
You build rows of Smelters to feed Constructors downstream. Because each takes one input and one output, manifolding them along a belt is the standard early layout.
