The Smelters can easily be mastered over time -- no need to rush them. Hiring Tom for free, or free with a Booster, is correct, but spending diamonds to "buy" Tom is wasteful as Tom’s benefits are only temporary. Diamonds are best spent on adding additional slots to your machines as these have long-lasting benefits. When you are able to hire Tom for free, there are much better items for you to have him provide to you. These items are either items that can sell for a lot of coins, like Blankets, if you are at the early levels of the game and are in need of coins to purchase additional machines. Later in the game, Tom is best used to provide items that your Townspeople are requesting but that you have a limited supply of for some reasons or another – again, Blankets. Good luck with Hay Day. Be patient and play smart. :-)
