This building becomes available after you have learned the Metallurgy tech.

Cost

Use

Uses Charcoal for fuel.

Operation

Can load up to 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 5 cc, just let it time out and collect.

Current "fire and forget" recipe is 50 ore, 5 cc 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
