More Info · V

Furnace is an umbrella term for different related workshops that heat materials for different purposes. While a "wood furnace" may be the most basic of these, the list includes smelters and kilns. These different workshops often produce only intermediary products, items that are then used to create something else for the final product.

Every furnace-type workshop must be built from fire-safe materials.

Jobs at a furnace generally require fuel or, in the case of magma furnaces, the heat from magma - if the latter, they do not use up any magma but merely must be placed over it. To operate, magma version 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 an open magma source.

Note that magma versions are not operable without magma. If the magma source fails, they cannot be used with fuel. If the magma depth falls below "depth = 4" at any time during operation (even for a single moment), any and all current job(s) will be cancelled in that workshop.

All furnaces are constructed using the Furnaces sub-menu (via bou ).

See main articles for a full discussion of specific workshops, especially of magma versions.

Wood furnace[edit]

Turns wood logs into ash or charcoal.

Shortcut: bouf
Materials used: wood
Items made: ash, charcoal

Feeds into: fuel for other furnaces, steel making, asheries and soap production

Smelter[edit]

Extracts metals from their ores, and produces coke from raw coal.

Shortcut: boul
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: bouL

Note: The only time the magma version uses charcoal or coke is in the recipe for pig iron and steel production.

Glass furnace[edit]

Turns raw sand into glass items.

Shortcut: boug
Materials used: sand, pearlash, rock crystal, fuel
Items made: glass objects

Glass objects are final products

Magma glass furnace[edit]

Shortcut: bouG

Magma glass furnaces use only magma as a heat source and require no additional fuel. They produce the same objects as a regular glass furnace.

Kiln[edit]

Used to fire clay into items, and to glaze some types of clay items. It also is used to produce gypsum plaster, pearlash, and quicklime.

Shortcut: bouk
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: bouK

Functions just like a regular kiln, but uses magma instead of fuel.
