So I have the “efficient smelters” artifact, of the common quality, which has an effect of “smelter ingredients reduced by 1%” (passive). I assume this means total amounts of ore required for smelting an item are reduced by 1%.

However, whether I equip this artifact or swap it for a different one, the (stated) amount of ingredients required does not change. It still says 486 copper bar, 514 tin bar, 694 iron, etc. I know 1% is a small amount, but it should still show a measurable reduction.

In comparison, my “Mine Boost” artifact which increases ore from mines by 3.5% does[\i] show up the way it should in my mines tab.

So I’m wondering if the efficient smelters is not working or just not showing up correctly.

It is a bug. Sorry about that. This will be fixed in the next update.

No worries, just wanted to make sure it was known.

"Speedy Smelters" artifact doesn't work too!

Still haven’t seen a dig site or artifact ><

All maps that require ~1 week to finish and higher have them. :)
