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. 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. 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 an open magma source.

All furnaces are constructed using the Furnaces submenu (via b, e ).

See main articles for a full discussion, esp of magma versions.

Wood furnace

Shortcut: b, e, w
Materials used: wood
Items made: ash, charcoal

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

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

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.

Glass furnace

Shortcut: b, e, g
Materials used: sand, pearlash, rock crystal, fuel
Items made: glass objects

Glass objects are final products

Magma glass furnace

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

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

Shortcut: b, e, n

Functions just like a regular kiln, but must be powered by magma instead of fuel.
