Conducting an Experiment on Ores

I've been selling ore at mostly 1 coin for quite a while now 😅

Ever since the introduction of the task line I've kept the smelters at the point of:

"Collect items to free up production que!"

When I take a mining task for a derby I check to see if I need to make any particular jewellery and collect any made bars I need

Then refill the smelters, using collecting ore/products to keep my barn full so as not to collect any more already made bars

(animal feed is good for that because it fills 3 spaces whilst creating a bar uses 3 spaces, so you can place the 3 ore for smelting, pick up a bag of animal feed you've made from the mill and so on and so forth till smelter is full without you actually having collected anything more from it)

I always have excess ore I need to sell at some point and given the state of the newspaper I just sell for 1 gold

Goes reasonably fast depending on the type, with coal being the slowest to sell

On the flip side if I need to quickly be at barn capacity to stack stuff better then Its very easy to do nowadays with all the available ore to buy 😅
