Furnace
Last checked: · 049-Rev3-L (reference-reported)
Direct answer
The Furnace turns ore or scrap into ingots overnight. Power and compatible inputs are required; the purity of the materials matters, so cheap scrap and metal ore are not equivalent purchases.
Load for an overnight run
Use two Metal Ore objects or two Scrap Metal objects, then check power before closing. The documented result is one Metal Ingot. Inspect input purity and the finished ingot instead of assuming that every run produces the same sale value.
| Ore recipe | 2 Metal Ore → 1 Metal Ingot |
|---|---|
| Scrap recipe | 2 Scrap Metal → 1 Metal Ingot |
| Timing | Overnight |
Choose an upgrade for the job
Flux agents improve ore purity during smelting; they do not replace the metal inputs. Jackson can offer Blast and Junk Processing modules, which change processing options. Preview the machine and read the installed module effects before committing cash to a new loadout.
