The benefits of this device compared to the Iron Furnace are that the Electric Furnace is 12.5% faster and, as the name indicates, uses electricity. By running on electricity instead of burning items, it is able to shut off immediately upon finishing (thus avoiding wasted energy). You can best take advantage of this by having some form of energy storage between the Electro Furnace and the generator(s).

The Electro Furnace is an improved and more costly version of the Iron Furnace.

The benefits of this device compared to the Iron Furnace are that the Electric Furnace is 12.5% faster and, as the name indicates, uses electricity. By running on electricity instead of burning items, it is able to shut off immediately upon finishing (thus avoiding wasted energy). You can best take advantage of this by having some form of energy storage between the Electro Furnace and the generator(s).

The Electro Furnace uses approximately 307 EU per operation. When connected to a Generator, one piece of Char(Coal) will provide 13 operations. On the other hand, an Iron Furnace uses 400 EUs per operation (Coal has an EU yield of 4000 in a Generator and provides 10 operations in an Iron Furnace) and it doesn't stop when there is nothing left to smelt. Additionally, an Electro Furnace can be powered by alternative sources such as Solar Panels.

Usage[edit]

Simply add something to smelt in the top slot and supply the Electric Furnace with EU.

  • The lower slot is used to provide power from a RE Battery or other energy storage item if a direct Cable connection is not available.
