# \ud83e\uddf1 Heavy Metals: Industrial Refinement<\/p>\n
### Tired of the furnace clutter?
\nWe\u2019ve all been there: coming back from a mining trip with stacks of raw iron, only to realize you need to build a literal wall of furnaces just to smelt it all before next week.<\/p>\n
Heavy Metals solves the logistics nightmare without breaking the game’s balance.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udc8e Why use this?
\n– One Slot, Nine Items: Smelt a whole Raw Iron\/Gold\/Copper Block in a single furnace slot.
\n– Compact Bases: Reduce your “furnace room” size by 90%.
\n– Vanilla Logic: No magic, no cheats. It takes the same time and gives the same XP as 9 individual ingots ($1800$ ticks).
\n## \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f How it works:
\n1. Craft your Raw Ores into Raw Blocks (9 ingots block).
\n2. Toss the raw block into Furnace
\n3. Get a solid metal block back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
