Bloomery

Description

A Bloomery (named after the chunk of iron it produces) is an upgrade of the Crude Smelter. It is used to melt iron at a low temperature to make wrought iron (bendable). Adding Coal (charcoal preferably) will produce some steel of average quality. Until the 13th century, it was the most advanced building in the Christian world for producing refined metal.. Muslim nations will instead upgrade to the Early Furnace, superior to the Bloomery, thanks to their knowledge of wootz steel manufacturing process.
