So you're lucky enough to be assigned to be the Smith (also known as the Metalworker or Tinkerer). This guide aims to provide how all the new machines and tools work and hopefully be officially added to the wiki once it gets merged. With your new machines, you are able to be more efficient at ore refining than the Ore Redemption Machine, this is your main job. On the side, you can take the ores you've been delivered and make them into a variety of items that can modify external wear, energy weapons, and tools. You have two workplaces, one on the station that will be a place you can pawn off or give away your creations and a room on Lavaland where you will be spending most of your time.
Your Smithing Machines
The Smart Hopper
This is the place the wonderful Shaft Miners and Explorers (if you're lucky that they're mining.) will drop off the ore they will mine. Once dropped off, the raw ore will be liquefied into the magma crucible and the Miners/Explorers will get their much desired points once they swipe their ID.
Magma Crucible
The main hub of your ore storage. After all the ore has been deposited, the magma crucible will sort the slurry of ore into their respective tanks and they will be ready for you to work with. If you're ever curious on the amount of ores you currently have, use a multitool (very OOC but if this gets merged which to poke hayden to add this function to the multitool page if needed) on your magma crucible to get a full list. The main thing you will be doing with your magma crucible is casting your liquid slurry into a Casting Basin.
