Compression Furnace
- 100 Clay
- 3 Crucible
- 200 Firebricks
- 5 Iron Bars
Operation
- Holds up to 500 ore
- Holds up to 20 charcoal
- Burns 1cc per minute for a maximum of 20 minutes
Current "fire and forget" recipes are (both take 20 minutes):
- 117 ore, 20cc yields 4 metal,
- 250 ore, 20cc yields 8 metal, and
- 484 ore, 20cc yields 15 metal.
Tested Ore/CC Ratios

(For ore/metal and cc/metal ratios, lower is better)
125/20 take 2 less ore per metal than 500/19, but takes 4x CC and time.
- Sprocket did some tests and noticed the base is 50, but can be rounded so
- 17/50/84/117/150/184 should all give the best results
Testing of stoked runs still need to be made. Note that the furnace can never have more than 20 cc per firing used in it, even when stoking.
