Overview

The Arc Furnace is similar to its larger counterpart the Refinery in that it refines Ores into Ingots. However, it is limited to only refining Iron Ore, Nickel Ore, and Cobalt Ore. The arc furnace is 8x smaller, is slightly more efficient for 12.5% in refining these ores, requires far fewer Components to build, refines at 1.2x the speed, and costs 40% less power to use.

However, unlike the larger and more expensive Refinery, it has no attachment ports allowing it to be upgraded. Despite its inherent speed benefits, a fully specialized Refinery is superior to the Arc Furnace for all specializations except physical space and resources to construct.

Usage

Operating the Arc Furnace is similar to the Refinery. A simple example of its use is below:

Example Tutorial
  1. Build/place your Arc Furnace anywhere you like
    ArcFurnace03.jpg
    • If connected to a Conveyor Network, the furnace will automatically draw Ores from another inventory. However, for this example we will be placing the ores in manually.
  2. While close to the large conveyor port door; open the inventory.

  3. Drag your ore from your inventory on the left, and place inside the Arc Furnace. It will now begin processing automatically.

Use Conveyor System If "on" allows the arc furnace to automatically draw iron ore from other inventories connected to it

Based on game data file content.
Ore consumed per second = Refinery Speed * Blueprint Input / Blueprint Processing Time.
Ingots produced per second = Refinery Speed * Refinery Material Efficiency * Blueprint Output / Blueprint Processing Time.
