iron ore can only become iron ingots in it's not really useful for anything else would be really nice if we can automate that stuff as well so let's see what we have available to us in the production tab we have a basic smelter what does that do well smelts or into ingots and goods can be further persistent to do things that sounds really good so let's build a basic smelter so shift left-click we have the little choked up for it now on top left we want one of those eight iron plates paint iron rods and four cements alright well this guy's taking a lot oh we can see that this is full now it can't actually mind any more so let's take that out so we can keep mining what a beta construction has been in luck that means our ship has been sent so we can go back to our trading post now let's pick a new thing let's, let's research can very splitters mergers and containers that sounds really good okay so that requires 25 iron rods 225 iron plates I'll take care of that in a bit let's let's carry on with the smelter alrighty we have the iron plates and rods that we need but we need cement what does cement require it requires stone okay I know that there's stone right there so I'm gonna go dig some of that up make some cement as well okay now that we have the cements I'm going to build a smelter in front of a miner and you can see on the hologram that there's like an input and output the green box on the left with an arrow pointing in is input orange with the arrow pointing out is output I'm gonna face the input towards the miner like so right click to get out of the menu and then I'm going to build a conveyor belt which we just researched but they require our in plate so I'm gonna make some iron plates first so we have iron plates now so I'm going to build a conveyor belt I'm gonna you can see it snaps to the output of the miner so click on that and we can build it wherever we want but let's build it directly to the input here maybe yeah Hey look we got iron ore it's doing it go go go go go it goes up or does it what's going on
