Smelter
The metallurgical gate to the late game. Raw Iron Ore is thermally converted into Iron Ingots here, and localised Clay deposits are baked into structural Bricks. The Smelter is the ultimate barrier to entry for the Industrial Phase - without it, the Iron Ingots required for Bonfire Level 4 and the Bonfire Level 5 Titanium path cannot be produced. Operates continuously with input materials on hand; companion assistance can automate fuel replenishment and material loading.
