Blast Furnace

Blast Furnace

Smelts various materials such as Iron and Copper. The output is a molten material that needs to be sent via Molten Channel transport, for instance, into a Caster for further processing. Molten materials cannot be transported via Trucks.

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