What does an Iron Minion collect if used with an Auto Smelter or Dwarven Super Compactor?

When paired with an Auto Smelter or Dwarven Super Compactor, an Iron Minion collects Iron Ingots instead of Iron Ore. The Dwarven Super Compactor combines the functions of the Auto Smelter and Super Compactor 3000, enabling automatic smelting and compacting of items into their enchanted forms given sufficient resources.

Can the Auto Smelter and Super Compactor 3000 be interchanged with the Dwarven Super Compactor?

Indeed, the Dwarven Super Compactor can substitute both the Auto Smelter and Super Compactor 3000, combining their functionalities. It is, however, costlier, necessitating an extra 56x Enchanted Mithril (or 8,960x Mithril) for crafting.
