It lends itself to automation. The Maximum pressure for the furnace is 60 MPa before the furnace will, in short order, explode. Adding Hydrocarbons, i.e. coal, will increase the pressure. Contains two embedded [volume pumps](/wiki/pipe-volume-pump) to control flow in and out, in order to use them, the furnace must be powered, and setting both to zero will put the furnace in a state of quiescence, but the furnace will slowly lose pressure and temperature. The capacity of the furnace is in excess of 5kg of materials so it is possible to make a full 500g ingot of an advanced alloy in one go. In the early game, a regular [Furnace](/wiki/furnace) will be easier to make and operate. ## Recipes *See [Advanced Furnace/Recipes](/wiki/advanced-furnacerecipes) for details.* See [Advanced Furnace/AllRecipes](/wiki/advanced-furnaceallrecipes) for a complete list ## Data Network | Parameter | Type | Access | Description | |---|---|---|---| | Power | Boolean | Read | Can be read to return if the Advanced Furnace is correctly powered or not, set via the power system, return 1 if powered and 0 if not | | Open | Integer | Read/Write | 1 if device is open, otherwise 0 | | Mode | Integer | Read/Write | The Advanced Furnace's smelting result. | | Error | Boolean | Read | 1 if device is in error state, otherwise 0 | | Pressure | Float | Read | The current pressure reading of the Advanced Furnace | | Temperature | Integer | Read | The current temperature reading of the Advanced Furnace | | Activate | Integer | Read/Write | Activates the Advanced Furnace when set to 1.

Fuel can be either a 2:1 Volatile to O₂ mixture, raw gases from Volatile and Oxite ices, or Superfuel. Raw gases can be collected by putting Volatile Ice and Oxites into an Ice crusher, or by melting the gases in an enclosed area and pumping the gases into a canister with an active vent. Superfuel can be made by collecting N₂O and mixing it with Volatiles at a 1:1 Ratio. Raw gasses made from ices will have a ratio of 3.6% Nitrogen, 32.7% Oxygen, and 63.7% Volatiles, and the Volatile to Oxygen ratio will be 1.95:1 instead of 2:1, but it will burn adequately well. Do not degas the ores, Stellite, Hastelloy and Waspaloy all rely on the nitrous oxide produced from the silver ore and lead ore used in their production. Do not substitute an ingot for an ore. Feed the ores into the furnace in the listed order. Use the listed amount of ores, using less ore or more ore will result in an different pressure and temperature. | Canister Pressure @ 0°C | Gases | Ingredients | Temperature | Pressure | Alloy | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | **     3,600 KPa**  **[Fuel](/wiki/fuel)** |  **62.7 Mols** **[Volatiles](/wiki/volatiles)**  **32.1 Mols** **[Oxygen](/wiki/oxygen)** | 50 **[Silver Ore](/wiki/ore-silver)** 50**[Cobalt Ore](/wiki/ore-cobalt)** 100**[Silicon Ore](/wiki/ore-silicon)** | **1.84 kK** | **15.2 MPa** | 50**[Stellite](/wiki/ingot-stellite)** | | **(2x) 8,400 KPa**  **[Fuel](/wiki/fuel)** |  **286 Mols** **[Volatiles](/wiki/volatiles)**  **146 Mols** **[Oxygen](/wiki/oxygen)** | 100 **[Gold Ore](/wiki/ore-gold)** 50 **[Nickel Ore](/wiki/ore-nickel)** 50 **[Steel Ingot](/wiki/ingot-steel)** | **1.75 kK** | **24.1 MPa +++** | 50**[Inconel](/wiki/ingot-inconel)** | | **(3x) 7,225 KPa**  **[Fuel](/wiki/fuel)** |  **371 Mols** **[Volatiles](/wiki/volatiles)**  **190 Mols** **[Oxygen](/wiki/oxygen)** | 100 **[Steel Ingot](/wiki/ingot-steel)** 50 **[Copper Ore](/wiki/ore-copper)** 50 **[Cobalt Ore](/wiki/ore-cobalt)** | **1.89 kK** | **30.8 MPa** | 50**[Astroloy](/wiki/ingot-astroloy)** | | **     8,500 KPa**  **[Fuel](/wiki/fuel)** ** (8x) 8,600 KPa** **[Pressurant](/wiki/carbon-dioxide)** |  **146 Mols** **[Volatiles](/wiki/volatiles)**  **74.8 Mols** **[Oxygen](/wiki/oxygen)**  **1,900 Mols** **[Pressurant](/wiki/carbon-dioxide) ^^^** | 100 **[Silver Ore](/wiki/ore-silver)** 50 **[Nickel Ore](/wiki/ore-nickel)** 50 **[Cobalt Ore](/wiki/ore-cobalt)** | **1.02 kK** | **27.6 MPa** | 50**[Hastelloy](/wiki/ingot-hastelloy)** | | ** (3x) 7,333 KPa**  **[Fuel](/wiki/fuel)** **(24x) 9,750 KPa** **[Pressurant](/wiki/carbon-dioxide)** |  **376 Mols** **[Volatiles](/wiki/volatiles)**  **192 Mols** **[Oxygen](/wiki/oxygen)**  **6,800 Mols** **[Pressurant](/wiki/carbon-dioxide) ^^^** | 100 **[Lead Ore](/wiki/ore-lead)** 50**[Silver Ore](/wiki/ore-silver)** 50 **[Nickel Ore](/wiki/ore-nickel)** | **683 K** | **51.4 MPa** | 50**[Waspaloy](/wiki/ingot-waspaloy)** | +++ For Inconel the mixture pressure will overshoot the range slightly, either make the alloy when the pressure rises into the range, or a short wait will be necessary in order for the pressure to drop back into range. ^^^ These recipes use CO₂ @ 0°C as a pressurant. Other pressurants such as Nitrogen, Pollutants, and Oxygen are possible, but they may result in different outcomes. ### Fuel mixing  - rudimentary setup for mixing H₂, O₂, and dilutant* In this setup, the furnace's input is connected to a gas mixer to provide fuel, and often a dilutant (used to increase the pressure without spending extra fuel). The [Furnace temperature and pressure math](/wiki/furnace-temperature-and-pressure-math) article contains formulas useful for crafting recipes to hit temperature and pressure targets. ### Hot and cold mixing This setup involves a hot tank and a cold tank of gasses, which are then mixed to achieve a target temperature and pumped in to achieve the target pressure. On most worlds maintaining a cold tank is quite easy (because the atmosphere on most worlds is below the temperature needed to smelt ore). Maintaining a hot tank is a little trickier, and either involves a lot of energy spent on [Pipe Heater](/wiki/pipe-heater)s, or an auxiliary furnace to combust fuel and pipe the exhaust into an insulated tank. Another easier option is to have the entire setup, furnace, pipes and tanks, in an enclosed vacuum chamber, so heat remains in the gases. Note that the outside atmosphere on worlds with no air doesn't count, it must be an enclosed chamber with all air pumped out
