For example iron plate has a stack ratio of 2 1 because it takes 200 iron ore 2 stacks of 100.
Factorio electric furnace steel setup.
The steel furnace is the second tier of furnaces.
However it is slightly larger than the other two tiers of furnaces.
It s possible for you to learn much more about how to excellently use your 14 14 grid for the steel furnace.
The steel column also needs to be 24 furnaces long.
Steel furnace is comparable to electric furnace in terms of smelt speed however the latter can make use of modules as well as electricity to further enhance the furnace s capabilities.
Now that factorio 1 0 has released i felt it s time to get back in the game to fix the old designs and maybe make something new.
It occupies a 3 3 area instead of a 2 2 area.
The setup is very similar.
As its name implies it uses electricity rather than fuel to operate removing the need for a fuel belt.
The stack compression ratio is how many stacks of input it takes to create one stack of output.
Steel takes 5 times the amount of time to smelt as iron plates and requires 5 iron plates so a direct feed array is perfect.
This guide began with a single furnace setup i wished to share but then i refined a few other ideas to be presentable.
The stack compression ratio and the belt compression ratio.
Luckily steel and electric furnaces both have the same smelting speed so the ratios will be the same for both and on top of that their speed is exactly double that of a stone furnace so 2 so we can just half all the above numbers.
You can t find any remarkable difference to the stone furnace.
This setup will apply many different belts or inserters with electric poles.
The electric furnace smelts items at the same speed as a steel furnace and also has two slots for modules.
Meaning you need 24 12 per side for full saturation of yellow belt 48 24 per side for red belt and 70 35 per side for blue belt.
Keep in mind that you will need 5 arrays like this one in order to produce a full belt.
This array will smelt ore into plates into steel.
There are two ratios to consider.
Although players used to produce arrays that could harbor 3 3 electric furnaces in the early days of the game remember that they just as fast as steel furnaces and if you use solid fuel material like coal are also more economical in terms of conserving energy.
New research to unlock the higher tiers of electric furnace is also added.
The compression ratio describes how efficiently a crafted item can be transported compared to its inputs.
Description this mod adds an electric boiler electric versions of the stone and steel furnaces which can fast replace the existing ones and level 2 and 3 versions of the electric furnace with faster smelting speeds and more module slots.
