| “ | Smelting ore down to usable ingots has never been this easy! Feed it whatever ore you find, set the recipe, and out comes the life-blood of any successful factory! | „ |
| ~ Caterina Parks's assistant Steve |
The Smelter is a building used to smelt raw ores into ingots.

Overclocking
Main article: Clock speed
The Smelter can be overclocked using Power Shards. Overclocking increases the input/output speed of the Smelter at the cost of exponentially increased power demand.
| Clock speed | 25% | 50% | 75% | 100% | 150% | 200% | 250% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consumption (MW) | 0.64 | 1.6 | 2.73 | 4 | 6.84 | 10 | 13.43 |
Tips
- All Smelter recipes have more effective alternatives in Refineries, obtained as alternate recipes. In the late game, Smelters can be completely replaced by Refineries, at the cost of requiring a bit more space and drawing more power, but greatly increasing ingot yield (except for Aluminum).

Early game development
Prior to Closed Alpha, In early game development there was not a dedicated smelter, but that function was combined in a multi-purpose Manufacturing Plant. In Sprint 6 (week 12) smelters become its own buildable.
