Hades Furnace
| English | français |
| |
|---|---|
| Size | N/A |
| Where | Medium Construction Site |
Used for making metals from ore.
Source
This building becomes available after the Metallurgy 2 technology is learned at a University of Harmony.
Compare all Furnaces.
Cost
- 2 Aluminum Plate
- 5000 Boards
- 5000 Clay Bricks
- 100 Copper Sheeting
- 30 Crucibles
- 500 Cut Stone
- 20 Fine Glass Pipe
- 75 Iron Bars
- 75 Iron Strap
- 25 Pulley
- 300 Steel Sheeting
- 3 Thermometers
- 15 Tin Sheeting
Use
- Smelts all metals
Uses Petroleum for fuel.
Notes
- Holds 1000 Petroleum
- Max runtime is 20d 9h 47m 45s
- Burns 49 petrol per day (49 ticks per day)
- In past tales, Pollution appeared to be a donut-shaped ring around the hades, starting at approx 250 coords and ending at approx 500 coords from the Hades. This is debatable in T7.
- Any ore not converted to metal will result in clinker when opened
Construction
To construct, place a Medium Construction Site at the desired location, then select Projects > Furnaces > Hades Furnace.
It must be built 65 or more coordinates away from any other Persephone Furnace or Hades Furnace.
- If there is a Persephone Furnace or Hades Furnace up to 64 coordinates away, you will get a dialog box, "You must locate any water cooled furnace at least 64 coordinates from any other".
- Has to be 65 or more coords away in both north-south coordinate AND east-west coordinate
It must be built near a water source and away from a road
- If there is no water nearby, or if you construct too close to a road, you will get a dialog box, "Hades Furnaces are cooled with water, and must be built near a natural source, and away from paths."
- A Water icon does not necessarily meet the requirements, and equally you can build where you don't get a water icon.
To prevent attempting to circumvent the distance restriction by constructing two furnaces at the same time or by repositioning it after construction, every time you fire a Persephone Furnace or Hades Furnace a check is made for any furnaces nearby. If there is another furnace 64 coords or less away, ALL affected furnaces will display in the main channel Operating a water cooled furnace too close to another causes it to become unstable. It will not operate when attempting to fire it.
