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 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
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. 175px) Drag your ore from your inventory on the left, and place inside the Arc Furnace. It will now begin processing automatically.
