Function
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, requires far fewer Components to build, refines at 1.2x efficiency, and costs 40% less power to use.
