Aluminium Smelter

Aluminium Smelter is a Production Building which turns

Bauxite and

Coal into

Aluminium Profiles. It is available in

Empire of the Skies DLC or

New World Rising DLC and can be built only in the New World.

Productivity[]

It takes 90 seconds to produce 1 ton of aluminium profiles from 1 ton of bauxite and 1 ton of coal, so the production rate is 0.67 tons of aluminium profiles per minute. Productivity can be changed by adjusting working conditions and using items. With New World Rising DLC, electricity can also be used to increase the productivity.
