Editing v0.34:Furnace

{{quality|Exceptional|23:22, 17 April 2011 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''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]]. 

All these are constructed using the Furnaces submenu (via {{k|b}}, {{k|e}} ).  

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


== [[Wood furnace]] ==
:*''Shortcut:'' {{k|b}}, {{k|e}}, {{k|w}}<br>
:*''Materials used:'' [[wood]]<br>
:*''Items made:'' [[ash]], [[charcoal]]
::*''Feeds into:'' fuel for other furnaces, [[steel]] making, [[Ashery|asheries]] and [[soap]] production

== [[Smelter]] ==
:*''Shortcut:'' {{k|b}}, {{k|e}}, {{k|s}}
:*''Materials used:'' [[bituminous coal]], [[lignite]], [[ore]], [[metal]] [[bar]]s, [[flux]], [[fuel]] (and metal objects to be [[melt]]ed)
:*''Items made:'' [[coke]], metal [[bar]]s
::*''Feeds into:'' [[Forge]]s

==[[Magma smelter]]==
:*''Shortcut:'' {{k|b}}, {{k|e}}, {{k|l}}
Magma versions use [[charcoal]] or [[coke]] for [[pig iron]] and [[steel]] production ''only''.  If the magma source fails, they cannot be used with [[fuel]].

== [[Glass furnace]] ==
:*''Shortcut:'' {{k|b}}, {{k|e}}, {{k|g}}
:*''Materials used:'' [[sand]], [[pearlash]], [[rock crystal]], [[fuel]]
:*''Items made:'' [[glass]] objects
::*Glass objects are final products

==[[Magma glass furnace]]==
:*''Shortcut:'' {{k|b}}, {{k|e}}, {{k|a}}
Magma glass furnaces use only magma as heat source and require no additional [[fuel]]. They produce the same objects as a regular Glass Furnace.

== [[Kiln]] ==
:*''Shortcut:'' {{k|b}}, {{k|e}}, {{k|k}}
:*''Materials used:'' [[potash]], [[ash]], [[cassiterite]], [[clay]], [[clay loam]], [[sandy clay]], [[silty clay]], [[fire clay]], [[kaolinite]], [[gypsum]], [[alabaster]], [[selenite]], [[satinspar]], [[fuel]]
:*''Items made:'' [[ceramic|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:'' {{k|b}}, {{k|e}}, {{k|n}}
Functions just like a regular kiln, but uses magma instead of [[fuel]].
