Foundry Information

After restoring the Mine and excavating various ores you will need the Foundry to make ingots.

You can build a maximum of 3 foundries since Township update v4.3.0.

• Foundry 1: Level unlocked = 21, Population required = 730, Cost = 2000 coins
• Foundry 2: Level unlocked = 21, Population required = 920, Cost = 8000 coins
• Foundry 3: Level unlocked = 45, Population required = 4950, Cost = 15000 coins

Making Ingots

The Foundry uses ores from the warehouse. When an ingot is done tap the foundry worker to collect it.

Description	Preview
Drag and drop one of the ores in a furnace. If you have 5 of any ore in the warehouse you can create 1 ingot. If you don't have enough ores the number is shown in red meaning you have to buy or excavate more ores in the mine.

Ingot Information

Foundries cannot be upgraded, but the Efficient Smelting booster reduces smelting time by 50%.
To make the most out of the booster have plenty of ores to use the foundries over 2 days.

Ingot		Materials	Selling Price	XP	Time	Booster
Bronze Ingot		5 Bronze Ores	96 coins	0	1h	30m
Silver Ingot		5 Silver Ores	144 coins	0	2h	1h
Gold Ingot		5 Gold Ores	204 coins	0	3h	1h30m
Platinum Ingot		5 Platinum Ores	300 coins	0	4h	2h

Ingots Uses

• Upgrade factories to make them more efficient, obtain extra shelves, and earn more coins/xp for filling orders with goods. Reduce the travelling time for trains and ships up to 50%
• Sending off ships with ingots increases the chance of obtaining rarer goods and treasure chests.
• Building the Academy of Industry, producing coins at the Mint, and buying decorations.
• Note: Using ingots for ships，producing coins at mint，or to buy landmarks is not recommended because upgrades are more important.However if you are at a high level，and if your factories already are advanced，then go all out。
