Sometimes smelters and crafters take way too long to finish and produce the item you want. It would be very nice if we had a power up where we could boost a smelter or crafter for a few minutes.

It could work pretty much like supercharge army camp or supercharge mine; you use it, and the speed gets multiplied for 5 minutes.

There are artifacts to address this, think those are enough. Do we really need powers for this? Seems like it would be lesser value than SM or SAC, and it would just result in getting more of these type of powers and less of the others from wheel spins, etc.

There are artifacts for everything, but the one thing I find myself waiting for at the end of levels is for crafters/smelters to complete the techs, I got all the ores and armies I need, so SM or SA serve no purpose whatsoever at that point in time.
The only power that can really help out is a time warp, but that affects everything. Hence, the call for a power that makes a crafter or smelter works 20x speed for 5 or 10 minutes.

To avoid getting too many of those powers from wheel spins, I think an artifact similar to the Supercharge Mine would be better. You can upgrade it if that's important to you, and use it as you see fit. "Boost Smelter/Crafter" seems like a great name for it. (;

I seem to have a different problem, where for the levels that require the expensive bars for techs such as requiring >10 Terbium, Erbium, Samarium, Lanthanum, Neodymium, Dysprosium, Yttrium, etc. It's not the smelting time that's an issue for me but the ore itself. Just not enough ore, so I wait for the ore to accumulate, and the smelting finishes before I have enough for the next bar.
