Furnace

The Furnace is a place-able Crafting device in Empyrion. It can be crafted at the Advanced Constructor, and can only be placed on a base. It will automatically smelt any given ore deposited into it, at a rate of 10 Ingots per 5 Ore, as with the Advanced Constructor. However, it will do so at a Craft Time of 1.25 seconds, which is twice as fast as the Advanced Constructor, and at twice the power consumption.

The Furnace also produces a hazard level amount of Heat and Radiation while powered, even when not in use. It is best not to stand within a block unit distance of the Furnace for any length of time, and to not place at near any growing plots.
