TK421: restore previous mention of being able to simply using a furnace to melt ice

2026-03-06T04:00:36Z

216.196.181.219: Added a description to the table of required conditions for ores and alloys

2026-03-06T02:47:02Z

Added a description to the table of required conditions for ores and alloys

216.196.181.219: Rearranged to bring alloy recipes forward and moved additional details about smelting mechanics to the later in the article in order. The goal was to increase focus on functional smelting and deprioritize theory.

 '''Make sure to put the fuel in first, then press the activate button.

For instance, you must put in 12 iron and 4 coal to make 16 steel. You cannot put in 12 iron and 7 coal. The furnace will not manufacture anything if the ingredient ratios are not correct and you will have to eject it all or add resources to balance the recipe.

 It features a gas pipe input port (connected to its internal storage through an internal always-open [[One_Way_Valve_(Gas)|one-way valve]]), a gas pipe output port (which lacks a one-way valve and acts as a bidirectional gas port), and a liquid output port (which acts as an always-open [[Condensation_Valve|condensation valve]]).
