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.

Furnace Fuel Type Max Ore Fuel Req Typical Ore:Metal Typical Fuel:Metal Fire Time Typical Metal/Hour Notes
Bullet Furnace Charcoal 200 5 50:1 5:1 5 minutes? ?
Compression Furnace Charcoal 500 20 32:1 1.33:1 20 minutes 45/hour No pollution confirmed. Tested 0 Acidity, no HM.
Blast Furnace Charcoal 1000 10 17:1 0.37:1 10 minutes? 324/hour FaF
Gyration Cell Charcoal 1500 50 10:1 0.33:1 15 minutes 600/hour Low pollution, currently the best CC furnace
Persephone Furnace Petroleum 20000 ? 8:1 0.035:1 typ. 4+ days 26/hour
Hades Furnace Petroleum 20000 1000 6:1 0.06:1 typ. 4+ days 33/hour Large pollution radius
