40d:Furnace
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Furnace is an umbrella term for different workshops that are used to heat materials, and that often produce only intermediary--products, items that are then used to create something else for the final product.
Every furnace must be built from fire-safe materials and designed by a building designer. It can be powered by fuel or, in the case of magma furnaces, by the heat from magma - if the latter, they do not consume the magma, merely must be over it. Magma furnaces must be placed with one of their edge tiles above magma with depth of 4 or more; this can be accomplished by digging a channel for the magma, or hanging it directly over open magma source.
All these are constructed using the Furnaces submenu (via b, e ).
See main articles for a full discussion, esp of magma versions.

[edit] Smelter
- Shortcut: b, e, s
- Materials used: bituminous coal, lignite, ore, metal bars, flux, fuel (and metal objects to be melted)
- Items made: coke, metal bars
- Feeds into: Forges
[edit] Magma smelter
- Shortcut: b, e, l
Magma versions use charcoal or coke for pig iron and steel production only. If the magma source fails, they cannot be powered by fuel.
[edit] Glass furnace
- Shortcut: b, e, g
- Materials used: sand, pearlash, rock crystal, fuel
- Items made: glass objects
- Glass objects are final products
