The Smelter is an economic building which increases the Metal output of all Mines in the same city it is built in. The Smelter must be built within a city's economic radius and has two technology lines available for research:

• Metallurgy increases the effect of all Smelters.
• Supply reduces the production time of ships and all vehicles (such as artillery units and tanks), improves the hit points, speed and radius of Supply Wagons, and reduces attrition damage taken by unsupplied units (prevents the attrition damage to units that are not moving nor fighting).

Without upgrades, a Smelter increases the Metal production of each Citizen working on Mines in the same city by 50% or 5 Metal per 30 seconds. The Smelter has no effect on rare resources within the economic radius.
