Tips and Tricks
-By far the most effective way to process Zinc ore is first use a pair of Crushing Wheels, by doing this you can multiply ore output by 5 instead of the usual 1, then use Bulk Washing on the Crushed Zinc to get 10 Zinc Nuggets and a chance to get 5 more, then craft the nuggets into ingots with Auto Packing to create Zinc ingots.
