Smelter Arena

Posted by the builder as Efficient 12+ 3x3 Base

Smelter Arena is a small group (5–8) Rust base design in the Tea Time base library, built from 2,103 building entities — multi-tc. Measured from the blueprint: 12 storeys, with annexes. Materials run about 104k wood, 53k stone, 223k metal frags, 1.6k HQM. A base this size fits the Twig plot (3,000 entities). Study the foundation footprint below, then connect to The Greenhouse — Tea Time's free creative build server — and rebuild it yourself with unlimited resources, free plots and no wipes.
