Function

The Arc Furnace is similar to its larger counterpart (Refinery) in that it refines ores into ingots. However, it is limited to only refining Iron Ore. The furnace is 8x smaller, requires far less materials to build, refines at 1.2x efficiency, and costs 40% less power to use.

Placement

The furnace may be placed anywhere, takes 2 block spaces, and has 2 large conveyor ports. It should also be noted the Arc Furnace can be placed only on large ships/station.

Usage

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

• Build/place your Arc Furnace anywhere you like

• 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.
• While close to the large conveyor port door; open the inventory.

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

Examples
