Overview

The Arc Furnace is similar to its larger counterpart the Refinery in that it refines Ores into Ingots. However, it is limited to only refining Iron Ore, Nickel Ore, and Cobalt Ore. The arc furnace is 8x smaller, requires far fewer Components to build, refines at 1.2x the speed, and costs 40% less power to use.

Usage

Operating the Arc Furnace is similar to the Refinery. A simple example of its use is below:

Example Tutorial
  1. Build/place your Arc Furnace anywhere you like

    • If connected to a Conveyor Network, the furnace will automatically draw Ores from another inventory. However, for this example we will be placing the ores in manually.
  2. While close to the large conveyor port door; open the inventory.

  3. Drag your ore from your inventory on the left, and place inside the Arc Furnace. It will now begin processing automatically.

Based on game data file content.
Ore consumed per second = Refinery Speed * Blueprint Input / Blueprint Processing Time.
Ingots produced per second = Refinery Speed * Refinery Material Efficiency * Blueprint Output / Blueprint Processing Time.

Tips

  • Prior to version 01.052 (16.Oct.2014), the Arc Furnace was only capable of refining Iron Ore.
