===[[Bullet Furnace]]===
+
Furnaces convert ore to metal, consuming fuel.
  
−
*1 [[Crucible]]
+
There are two main types of furnace: [[Charcoal]]-fired furnaces with relatively short firing times, and large [[Petroleum]]-fired furnaces with much longer firing times but greater efficiency.
−
*50 [[Firebricks]]
 
  
−
====Operation====
+
The most time and resource efficient CC furnace is the Gyration Cell. There are many public facilities with Gyration cells.
−
 
 
−
Can load upto 5 charcoal, each charcoal provides 1 minute of additional Max FireTime.
 
−
 
 
−
It is possible to load less and start the reaction and then top it up, to a maximum of 5 over time.
 
−
 
 
−
it is a automatic process if you load max 5cc. just let it time out and collect.
 
−
 
 
−
Current "fire and forget" recipe is 50 ore, 5cc yields 1 metal.
 
−
 
 
−
===[[Compression Furnace]]===
 
−
 
−
*100 [[Clay]]
 
−
*3 [[Crucible]]
 
−
*200 [[Firebricks]]
 
−
*5 [[Iron Bars]]
 
−
 
 
−
====Operation====
 
−
 
 
−
*Holds up to 500 ore
 
−
*Holds up to 20cc
 
−
*Burns 1cc per minute for a maximum of 20 minutes
 
−
 
 
−
====Metal Yields====
 
−
The base formula is MetalYield = Round(OreAmount*3/100) - that is for every 33.3 ore you put into the furnace you get 1 metal out. However due to the way the game rounds off this formula it is possible to get a significantly better yield by hitting the right "breakpoints".
 
−
 
 
−
For example, a good recipe to use is 484 ore and 20 charcoal. That batch will smelt for 20 minutes and produce 15 metal. The table below shows the recipes that give the most beneficial round-off gains.

It is recommended to simply use the 484 ore + 20 cc => 15 metal recipe unless you really want to squeeze some extra mileage out of your ore at a significant increase in charcoal costs. If you want to save significantly on your ore you will have to go to the extreme recipes such as 50 ore + 20 cc => 2 metal or even 17 ore + 20 cc => 1 metal. However by using the 17 ore recipe it's possible to almost double the metal yield of the base formula by paying more than 25 times the charcoal cost.

* Many people use the 250 Ore + 20 cc = 8 Metal as a compromise between ore, charcoal and time efficiency.

Furnaces convert ore to metal, consuming fuel.

There are two main types of furnace: Charcoal-fired furnaces with relatively short firing times, and large Petroleum-fired furnaces with much longer firing times but greater efficiency.

The most time and resource efficient CC furnace is the Gyration Cell. There are many public facilities with Gyration cells.
