To my knowledge this is the smallest and fastest 70g solution to Refined Bronze. This level is solvable without a calcifier, so a low-cost solution makes waste. The trick to get area low is to keep only the fire atoms around, rather than generate a long stick with salt and fire. Prior solutions took many more hexes due to swinging around massive waste.

This solution has 3722 instructions, so programming it was a bit of a nightmare. I could in principle make a looping form that handles 4 columns of output at a time, but the way I store the fire requires special handling in each of the 3 cases in this video.
