A smelter's basic function is to process raw ore into usable metal. As better resources are found, it becomes possible to make magmium from magmex, vulcium from vulcanite and adamantine from adamantite.

Cronodollars smelted into metal will always be quality 255.

+A '''smelter's''' basic function is to process raw [[ore]] into usable [[metal]]. As better resources are found, it becomes possible to make [[magmium]] from [[magmex]], [[vulcium]] from [[vulcanite]] and [[adamantine]] from [[adamantite]].
-A smelter's basic function is to process raw [[ore]] into usable [[metal]]. As higher level [[technology]] becomes available, it becomes possible to make [[magmium]] from [[magmex]], [[vulcium]] from [[vulcanite]] and [[adamantine]] from [[adamantite]].
+[[Cronodollar]]s smelted into metal will always be [[quality]] 255.
-[[Cronodollar]]s can be turned into max quality level metal.  This process consumes more cronodollars than are produced using metal, but if an empire is using something like [[Magmium]], [[Vulcium]], or [[Adamantine]] to mint cronodollars, this can be an effective source of high quality metals.
