Furnaces convert ore to metal, consuming fuel.
There are two main types of furnace: Charcoal-fired furnaces with relatively short firing times, and large Petroleum-fired furnaces with much longer firing times but greater efficiency.
The most time and resource efficient CC furnace is the Gyration Cell.
| Furnace | Fuel Type | Max Ore | Fuel Req | Typical Ore:Metal | Typical Fuel:Metal | Maximum Fire Time | Typical Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bullet Furnace | Charcoal | 200 | 5 | 100:1 | 2.5:1 | 5 minutes | 188 ore + 4 charcoal = 2 metal | |
| Compression Furnace | Charcoal | 500 | 20 | 33.33:1 | 1.33:1 | 20 minutes | 484 ore + 20 cc = 15 metal | May cause heavy metal pollution |
| Blast Furnace | Charcoal | 1000 | 10 | 17:1 | 0.37:1 | 10 minutes? | ||
| Gyration Cell | Charcoal | 1500 | 50 | 10:1 | 0.33:1 | 15 minutes | Low pollution, currently the best CC furnace | |
| Persephone Furnace | Petroleum | 20000 | 1-1000 | 8:1 | 0.035:1 | typ. 4+ days | Believed to produce no pollution | |
| Hades Furnace | Petroleum | 20000 | 1-1000 | 6:1 | 0.06:1 | typ. 4+ days | No reported pollution this tale |
