v0.31: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.
Contents
Wood furnace[edit]
Smelter[edit]
- 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
Magma smelter[edit]
- 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.
Glass furnace[edit]
- Shortcut: b, e, g
- Materials used: sand, pearlash, rock crystal, fuel
- Items made: glass objects
- Glass objects are final products
Magma glass furnace[edit]
- Shortcut: b, e, a
Magma glass furnaces must be powered by magma, and thus require no additional fuel. Produces same objects as a regular Glass Furnace.
Kiln[edit]
- Shortcut: b, e, k
- Materials used: potash, ash, cassiterite, clay, clay loam, sandy clay, silty clay, fire clay, kaolinite, gypsum, alabaster, selenite, satinspar, fuel
- Items made: ceramic/clay items, pearlash and plaster powder
- Feeds into: pearlash for higher quality glass production
- Plaster powder is a final product used by healthcare professionals.
- Ceramic/clay (earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain) items are final products.
Magma kiln[edit]
- Shortcut: b, e, n
Functions just like a regular kiln, but must be powered by magma instead of fuel.
