so uh

#

how much wrought iron will i need?

A L L O F I T

#

200 easily, until you can get it automated via steam age.

#

possibly more

naive smelt

#

yep

#

steam machines, personal tools, blast furnace, and more wrought iron is needed for.

#

4 block tall blast furnace alone costs 128 ingots

#

the steam machines will need 5-8 plates of wrought iron a piece

#

these costs are reduced dramatically if you can get a better ingot to plate ratio
