A Blast Furnace is used to convert various ores into their molten counterpart. Early game, a blast furnace is used to convert Metal Scrap and Coal into Molten Iron. However, as the game progresses, new recipes can be unlocked which allow for more long-term production of Category:molten products. Blast Furnaces also produce Exhaust and Slag as byproducts of their production.
