Just a simple mod that adds a new category to the Smelter, "Smelt ores by product." This allows you task orders to smelt any ore of a given metal with one order, instead of having to select the specific ores.

One caveat, smelting copper ores will no longer have a chance of producing a small amount of silver. Smelting silver and lead ores still produce silver bars as usual.

Also available on Steam Workshop!

Version for 47.05 available here!

-- Installation --

1. Download using the Workshop, or extract the smelt_by_product folder and place it in Dwarf Fortress\mods.
2. Generate a new world!

-- Compatibility --

This should be compatible with any mod that doesn't change the vanilla metal ores.

-- Changelog --

v1.01
