The Smelter

Unlocked by scrapping Sir Cumference. The round one digested everything; now his furnace digests for you. Queue spare parts and they melt, one at a time, into Alloy.

• Yield scales with tier (Nerfed 1 up to GOATED 300) plus any levels invested. Parts leave your stash the moment they queue, so this is also the bulk-scrap valve.
• Alloy buys permanent capacity: Ballast Plating (+Weight), Stash Racks (+Storage) and Bay Extensions (+max drones). Each rank doubles in price.
• Capacities are additive on purpose. They gate options, not throughput; the damage math never touches Alloy.
• Equipped parts and the Mech Core never melt. The furnace has standards.
