Description

A smelter made from bricks and clay, fits more ore than a forge.

Usage

• Smelting metal ore into lumps

Method

Activate the stone brick, right-click another stone brick, and select Create > Furnaces > Smelter. The unfinished smelter will drop in front of you on the ground. Right-click it with either another clay or stone brick or sand activated, and choose Continue building.

• Subsequent clay can be taken from a single big lump, piece by piece. However, the lump will become progressively more damaged if you fail when attaching it.

To light the smelter, activate a steel and flint with a kindling in your inventory. To then fuel the smelter, activate any wooden item, right-click the smelter, and select Burn.

Notes

• At least 50 masonry skill is required to create and continue building a smelter.
• Only 20 kg of fuel is needed at a time. Adding more fuel is unnecessary until some time has passed. The quality of fuel used here does not affect burning time as does the quality of the smelter itself.
• A smelter will hold, at most, 100 uncombined ore.
• Loading requires a wagon.
• Items can be placed onto it. Wooden or otherwise flammable items placed on the smelter will be burned.
• Does not take damage on a settlement while the upkeep is greater than 30 days.
