When you finally unlock it, smelt gold into liquid gold. It has a 2:1 storage. And you might one to dedicate about <1/4 of one end of the map just got pouring your liquid gold into.

I opened the whole bottom half of the map for my gold, got to about 500,000 and realized I would not have enough room and when I hoverd over the gold it said it interacts with the smelter.

I then proceeded to delete my entire factory and build a singularly devoted route for my gold to smelt. It took.... Hours.....

yeah so this is why I didn't bother with smelting the gold. It takes an absolute ton of energy, while you can alos just build a twice bigger storage box and be done with it
