Smelting is a passive activity where Smelter workers refine raw ores into refined bars over real-time. The smelting process is crucial for advancing your settlement’s capabilities and ensuring you have the resources needed for other activities.

Smelting Strategy

  1. Upgrade Systematically: Focus on upgrading your smelting rank to unlock additional slots and speed improvements.
  2. Maximize Efficiency: Always keep your smelting slots occupied to ensure continuous production of refined bars.
  3. Prioritize Higher-Value Ores: As you unlock higher-tier smelting, prioritize ores that produce more valuable bars to maximize your resource output.

Collecting Smelted Bars

Once the smelting process is complete, players will receive a notification and can collect their refined bars. These bars are essential for upgrading various facilities in Kingsmarch and for use in crafting high-tier items.

By efficiently managing and upgrading your smelting operations, you can ensure a steady supply of refined bars, which are crucial for advancing your settlement and enhancing your gameplay experience in the Settlers of Kalguur league.
