Chest Feed¶

Smelters and kilns automatically take supported inputs from the one nearest built chest within their radius. If that chest is empty or open, they wait - they never look for another. Look at the smelter to see its radius and the chest it takes from; Shift + mouse wheel changes the radius of that smelter. Processing uses the source chest owner's applicable bonuses.
