Smelter returns only dross
by shizzle » Sat Feb 07, 2015 12:47 pm
I am a new player and started smelting my first iron ore today. First batch was 20 Iron Ore and 3 Limes (which should have returned 1 Iron Bar) - result was all dross. I emptied the dross and filled the whole thing with Iron Ores. Again all dross, no bar. What could be the problem?

I have noticed my smelters returning less than I'd expect them, too. Unsure what the new rules are.
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

Smelter yields have indeed changed. Players have a further incentive to fire in more balanced quantities.

Define "more balanced" please. (exact numbers would be good)

Then I'll just wait here till someone presents hard numbers, or puts them into the wiki.

You'll be waiting forever. I highly doubt anybody will get hard numbers to the new mechanic in the next month.

Yep. Seems like it took us a few months to nail down what we know now, and loftar and jorb weren't even trying to keep it a close secret.
Can we ask if you've added in any random factors?
I am a moderator. I moderate stuff. When I do, I write in this color.
