I bet you all want the smelter to be free access because you don't want your uber godly shit taken away from you.
Seriously, the smelter should be a mining/engineer/qm thing and even remotely wanting to get access to it should be something difficult due to the sheer amount of crap you can pull off with it.(nanomachines infused bullshit every round forever yay)
The Smelter area should not be overcrowded with mindless greyshirts fooling around 24/7 with bad intents and instead be a productive part of the station. (well we can always dream)
Restricting it to QM/miners and maybe having security watch over what jackass is trying to break into it would be a great way to actually give a purpose to QM apart from making lods of emone and ordering bees. (And actually putting pressure on miners to get materials that people ordered, instead of being happy go lucky spacedwarves who just whack at asteroids until they're bored).
The pleb would still get their materials and bars if they ask nicely and impatient jerks (much akin to the fuckfaces who break into chemistry/bar each round) would be stopped in their dumb, nearly grievous crap. This would also get miners and QM to actually learn how to make awesome materials and promote knowledge and cooperation.
