Metals
There are several different kinds of precious metals you can pull off the ground—iron, silver, gold, palladium, and plutonium. However, when you pick them up, they are still in ore form. These metals must be smelted to make them valuable—and pretty. To turn ore into ingots, just send them away via an interaction with your lot’s mailbox. When the ingot comes back, the value has improved by up to 75 percent. That’s quite a boost for the §40 smelting fee.
