how to melt silver abiotic factor

[SanClayton]

Ah, the alchemist's conundrum! You've got a pile of shiny silver ore and a burning desire to turn it into a molten puddle, but the pot just stares back at you, uncooperative. Well, you can put that pot away, because it's time to unlearn everything other survival games have taught you.

Abiotic Factor, in its infinite scientific wisdom, has decided that the tedious step of smelting is simply beneath you. There is no smelter or furnace in the game for you to melt down your silver. The game's crafting logic has streamlined the process, much to the confusion of aspiring metallurgists everywhere.

Instead of getting all hot and bothered, you simply take your raw silver ore directly to a smithy. That's right, you craft your silver-based items straight from the ore itself. The GATE facility is clearly on the cutting edge of materials science, where you can just hammer raw rocks into sophisticated components. So, to melt silver, the secret is... you don't! Just find a smithy and get to crafting.
