A '''furnace''' is a building used to heat materials. It can be powered by [[fuel]] or, in the case of magma furnaces, by the heat from [[magma]]. Every furnace must be built from [[fire-safe materials]], and magma furnaces must be built from [[magma-safe materials]]. Magma furnaces must also be placed with one of their edge tiles above magma with depth of 3 or more; this can be accomplished by digging a channel for the magma. Other than these requirements, they are identical to [[workshops]].{{ver|0.23.130.23a}}
'''Furnace''' is an umbrella term for different [[workshop]]s 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#Magma_sources|magma source]].
