Smelting Basic Upgrade
Basic Upgrade that greatly increases efficiency when crafting Smelting recipes.
Notes
The Smelting Basic Upgrade is an Efficiency Module that improves smelting recipes by reducing both resource consumption and craft time on the station it's installed in. This tier of upgrade works in any workshop, regardless of room quality, making it a practical early investment for players running kilns or other basic smelting stations. Stacking multiple upgrades has limited effect; the total benefit from modules is capped, so one is generally sufficient until higher-tier Advanced or Modern upgrades become available.
