Iron Smelter

Benefit



 * The Iron Smelter is a tricky decoration to evaluate. On the one hand, it costs a whopping 380 Nanopods for just one, and it can only work singly on an attached Iron Mine or Advanced Iron Mine. On the other hand, it is the maximum bonus of +20% available in comparison to the other bonus buildings, and if you added up the Nanopod costs . . . it becomes comparable in value. Plus, as it is amply noted on the game forums and in the item description, Iron is something you really can't have too much of. It is best paired with an Advanced Iron Mine, to increase the yield from 60 to 72 per hour.
