Bullet Furnace
From A Tale in the Desert
Materials / PreReqs
Costs 1 crucible, 50 firebrick to build
Requires the Metallurgy skill
Operation
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.
Smelting Tests
Bullet furnaces 'tick' CC at XX:30.

* Whereas the Bullet Furnace is at 1023 -3792. ** Each test used 10 Tadpoles. *** Test were taken directly after smelting. -- Please test again in 2 RL days. Pollution may not show up immediately. --Nekojin 17:37, 22 December 2008 (EST) -- Ten tadpoles used means you would only detect 10% pollution level, and there may be round-up issues we are unaware of. I'd recommend you use at least 1000 tadpoles to refine the observation. --Pandemonis 23 DEC 08, 1700 GMT --- Also possible that you will not detect pollution until clinker is created / opened Gwyr
