Electric Furnace
The Electric Furnace is the powered version of a normal furnace. It smelts standard furnace inputs through your Energy and Electricity network instead of burning coal or other fuel by hand.
How to use it
- Connect the machine to a powered energy network.
- Put a smeltable item into the input slot.
- Make sure the output has space.
- Collect the finished item once the process is done.
Behavior
- The Electric Furnace follows the same general recipe family as a vanilla furnace.
- It does not need burn fuel because the machine runs on stored or incoming power.
- If the network cannot keep up with the power draw, the machine pauses until power is available again.
Module support
- The Electric Furnace supports all four Machine Modules: Speed, Efficiency, Capacity, and Productivity.
- On plain smelting lines, Speed and Efficiency are usually the easiest first upgrades to notice.
Tiers
| Tier | Speed | Power Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Electric Furnace (I) | 1x | 4 W |
| Electric Furnace (II) | 2x | 6 W |
| Electric Furnace (III) | 4x | 10 W |
Tips
- This is one of the easiest starter machines to automate because it replaces both a furnace and its fuel supply.
- Pair it with cargo or adjacent storage once you are running several smelting lines at once.
