Rimworld: old west meets sci-fi

Rare Earth Smelter hasn’t been updated since 1.4 but apparently still works.

As I recall, these smelters – of which there are four levels with their own research – output somewhat larger quantities and a few additional resources compared to vanilla smelters.

Since my xenophobes won’t be trading with anyone other than their own species, I look forward to smelting all the weapons which would otherwise pile up.

Went in the options for Vanilla Events Expanded and slid the offset for Trader Caravan Arrival about ¾ the way to the high end, hoping that it will cut down on the number of concurrent visiting caravans. Thus reducing the lag for my trade-friendly colonies.
