Current Issues
It should be noticed that, due to a possible bug, if a player tries to smelt many ores at once and the empty items slots in the smelter module (including the one on top of it) are fewer than the number of ores being smelt, the excessive products might be lost.

Putting a stack of ore in smelter while it is functionning will produce imcomplete stacks that you will not be able to move.
