Extracts usable steel from steel slag chunks and metals from weapons. You need to research electric smelting before you can build an electric smelter. To smelt items, select the table and click on "Bills" then "Add Bill". In the bill for smelting weapons the player may click 'Config' to choose which weapons to be smelted. Ensure that at least one colonist is assigned to crafting.
Metallic weapons can be smelted to return 25% of their crafting cost. Any weapon can also be destroyed, though this is not recommended as they can be sold for silver and destroying them does not refund anything at all.
