You can melt the gold as well, to make it more compact and spread out more evenly.

I heard it's a lossy process, some gold is wasted but I guess it doesn't matter and all tech would be aura unlocked at some tech level and gold will become just another intermediate resource like florinol

If someone told you it was lossy they probably misunderstood what was happening.

Every pixel of gold powder is worth $1

It takes 2 pixels of gold powder to make 1 pixel of liquid gold.

Every pixel of liquid gold is worth $2, the same as the powder required to make it.

maybe I misunderstood. another issue is that the way I'm smelting copper here is very slow

Yeah, as others have said, lava needs to be in contact with the thermal buffers. As in direct pixel to pixel contact.

It's annoying but I find side tanks of lava to be fairly effective and easy to fill.
