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.
| Furnace | Fuel Type | Max Ore | Max Fuel | 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 | |
| Blast Furnace | Charcoal | 1000 | 10 | 17:1 | 0.37:1 | 10 minutes? | ? | |
| 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 | |
