Wolfram Bar

Wolfram Bar is a crafting material used in multiple fabrication recipes. It is produced by smelting Wolfram Ore and can be exported to several corporations in exchange for rewards. The item functions as an intermediate component for plates, powder, wire and alloyed ingots in production chains.

Two Wolfram Ore smelt into two Wolfram Bar in a Smelter; the process requires 2 seconds. Wolfram Bar is directly used to craft Wolfram Plate (1 Wolfram Bar → 1 Wolfram Plate in a Fabricator, 1 second), Wolfram Powder (1 Wolfram Bar → 3 Wolfram Powder in a Furnace, 2 seconds), Wolfram Wire (1 Wolfram Bar → 2 Wolfram Wire in a Fabricator, 4 seconds), and it is a component in making Wolfram Steel Ingot (2 Wolfram Bar + 2 Goethite Ore → 1 Wolfram Steel Ingot in a Pyro Forge, 1 second).

Wolfram Bar can be exported to corporations for value and rewards. The export value for each listed corporation is 1. Exporting Wolfram Bar to Future Health Solutions at corporation level 2 yields a Regeneration Chamber as a reward. Exporting to Future Health Solutions at level 3 yields a Medtool. Exporting to Moon Energy Corporation at level 2 yields a Recipe Station. Exporting to Clever Robotics at level 2 yields Personal Storage, and at level 3 yields Storage Depot v1.

• Production note: The Smelter recipe is efficient for converting Wolfram Ore into Wolfram Bar at a 1:1 ore-to-bar rate per unit time (2 ore → 2 bars in 2 seconds), making batch smelting practical for mid-tier manufacturing.
• Fabrication uses: A single Wolfram Bar converts to a Wolfram Plate in 1 second or to two Wolfram Wire in 4 seconds; choose production based on downstream demand (plates for structural components, wire for electronic assemblies).
• Refinement option: Turning a Wolfram Bar into Wolfram Powder in a Furnace yields three powder units and can feed processes that require powdered tungsten materials.
• Alloying role: Wolfram Bar participates in high-temperature alloy production; two bars plus Goethite Ore produce a Wolfram Steel Ingot in a Pyro Forge in 1 second, useful for advanced crafting recipes.
• Export strategy: Exporting low-value bars is useful for early corporation reputation and to obtain specific equipment rewards; plan exports to match corporation level requirements to maximize desired rewards.
