Furnaces
Furnaces are buildings used in
mining in order to smelt ore stones into
metals. There are many types of furnace which can be built, each with its own special characteristics. All furnaces run on
charcoal.
| Name | Cost | Size | where | Brief Description |
| Smelting Pot | 1 Crucible, 50 Firebricks | 5x6 | inside | Inefficiently smelts pure crystals from mining. |
| Craft Furnace | 4 Crucible, 120 Firebricks, 12 Leather, 36 Boards, 12 Flint, 2 Iron Bar | 13x13 | inside | Efficiently smelts pure crystals. |
| Amalgamation Furnace | 12 Cut Stone, 1 Iron Pot, 20 Leather, 240 Firebricks, 40 Small Topaz | 9x9 | inside | Allows alloys when the Primary and Secondary Crystal count is nearly equal.
Brass is the only case this is entirely true. Other cases result in poor yields. Steel is optimized when Zinc is added to the mix of Iron/Alum - OldJoe |
| Fragile Furnace | 20 Cut Stone, 6 Crucible, 24 Leather, 4 Copper Sheeting, 4 Bearings, 2 Iron Bar, 2 Sheet Glass, 300 Firebricks | 15x15 | inside | Smelts 1/3 to 2/5 primary crystal and allows mixed junk for the balance so long as the crystal count is lower. |
| Precious Furnace | 60 Firebricks, 40 Leather, 24 Copperwire, 40 Slate, 400 Small Quartz, 4 Copper Straps | 5x8 | inside | Smelts the secondary crystal so long as it is less than 1/3 of the total crystal count. |
| Fleet Furnace | 30 Cut Stone, 1 Iron Pot, 60 Leather, 600 Firebricks, 40 Small Quartz, 40 Small Diamond | 11x21 | inside | Smelting Quicksilver. |

This furnace was the prize in a blacksmithing contest.
Craft Furnace
Info
- Efficiency 5 Metal per 6 Clusters
- You can load up to 25 stones.
- Yield depends on number of crystals on the stones, but can range from 14-45.
- Cost to fire: 25 Charcoal.
- Time to fire: 120 seconds (2 Minutes.)
- Function: Smelts primary ore at high efficiancy.
- Ore: Use pure metal crystals.
Building Cost:
- 4 Crucibles
- 120 Firebricks
- 12 Leather
- 36 Boards
- 12 Flint
- 2 Iron Bars
Amalgamation Furnace
Info
- Efficiency 5 Metal per 6 Clusters
- You can load up to 22 stones.
- Cost to fire: 18 Charcoal.
- Time to fire: 420 seconds (7 Minutes.)
- Function: Produces Alloys. See the Alloy page.
- Ore: The target metal pair must have nearly equal crystal counts. A bit more coppper or steel usually helps. But various ratios of metals can be used.
