Furnace

How the processing station fits

Furnace is part of the material-processing chain rather than the four specialised equipment benches. Feed it the correct raw input, provide any required second slot or upgrade, then collect the processed output before starting the final recipe.

Setup and use checklist

1. Place the Furnace on stable, accessible flooring with room at its output side.
2. Open the station and confirm its category matches Smelts ores into bars, including the two-input copper-and-tin route for bronze.
3. Carry or link the required inputs and leave space for output.
4. Start one test craft, collect it, and verify the next recipe or journal entry unlocks.

Base layout advice

Group the Furnace near the storage holding its most common inputs, but keep walking space around interaction and output points. Put refining stations close to fuel and raw-material storage; put equipment benches near bars, thread, leather and rare vault components. In co-op, duplicate high-traffic stations only when queue time is a real bottleneck.

If a station or recipe is missing

Update the client and dedicated server first. For equipment benches, remember that the 0.12 migration returned resources from older Fletching Benches and Smithing Anvils so the new furniture could be rebuilt. For processing furniture, check whether its improvement must be placed within range. Pick up one required material, reopen the build menu and avoid deleting unrelated base pieces.

Continue with the recipe index, compare inputs in the resource hub, or verify the correct furniture in the crafting-station guide. Keep one spare ingredient in storage so the journal can rediscover a recipe after a major Early Access update.
