The '''Electric smelter''' is used to extracts [[steel]] from [[steel slag chunk]]s and metal [[weapons]] and [[armor]]. Colonists assigned to [[Skills#Crafting|crafting]] will make use of it.

== Acquisition ==
It is built with {{Required Resources}} in {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} after the research [[Research#Electricty|Electricity]] has been completed.

== Summmary==
Electric smelters are placed on the ground and require 700 W of [[power]]. Powered electric smelters can convert [[steel slag chunk]]s, metal weapons, and metallic armor pieces into usable metal. Steel slag chunks are melted into {{Icon Small|steel||15}} [[steel]], while weapons and armor can be smelted to return 25% of their crafting cost. The smelter can also destroy weapons and apparel, even if nonmetallic. [[Smelting Speed]] is not affected by skills, but can be increased by [[manipulation]] and [[Global Work Speed]].

While powered, smelters output light in a 6 tile radius; the nearest {{P|Light Radius}} tiles are above 50% light level and considered "lit", negating the work speed penalty from darkness.

Smelters also produce heat while in ''process of smelting'' things (amount comparable to output of one [[heater]]). No heat is produced when idle, even if powered on.

== Analysis == 
[[File:Graph1.png|thumb|left|This graph shows dependence item sell price multiplier($) from item hit points. ]]
Smelters will convert regardless of [[quality]], damage, [[biocoding]], or [[Apparel#Tainted_Apparel|tainting]]. Steel slag chunks, tainted clothes, and biocoded weapons are outright unsellable. Meanwhile, damage will quickly reduce the value of an item.

Destroying items is rarely worth it. The destroy bill can help get rid of unsmeltable items like cloth apparel and stone [[club]]s. However, most of them can be sold for silver, which brings a little profit (as opposed to none at all).

For smeltable items that you can sell, the table below describes the sale value (excluding sell/buy penalties and pawn trade skill) of the items at each quality, alongside the value of the raw resources that can be attained by smelting. Items made of different kinds of [[stuff]] do not have data. In parenthesis are the hit point percentages at which the item's value is equal to that of the raw resources. Above this percentage it is better to sell the item, where as below the percentage it is better to sell the raw resources. Note that this only considers selling each, so the cost to buy the same raw resources is not included.

In general, very damaged (under 60% health remaining, the value of an item drops rapidly after 60 percent) items are better to smelt, as the sale price is reduced while the amount of resources recovered are unaffected. Note that items with 90% or more health remaining retain full value.
