This automated furnace activates once 42 items are ready to be processed. The design prioritizes coal efficiency, setting a trigger at 7 items per furnace to maintain an 87% coal usage rate, accounting for potential server variations.
The build’s aesthetic draws inspiration from industrial chemical plants, featuring visible piping for material transport and smoked glass to conceal the internal mechanics.
This furnace is a component of a larger, ongoing automatic item sorting system.
