I present to you a neat space efficient tileable and module customizeable electric smelting block.
Factorio electric furnace efficiency.
The standard electric setup produced 116 copper plates.
Luckily steel and electric furnaces both have the same smelting speed so the ratios will be the same for both and on top of that their speed is exactly double that of a stone furnace so 2 so we can just half all the above numbers.
Here is a picture of my setups.
With 10 coal as the standard power input.
In the old days of factorio people used to make arrays that could accommodate 3x3 electric furnaces.
A huge thanks to to all the contributors on github as well as the community who made the previous cheat sheets and other resources.
The stack compression ratio is how many stacks of input it takes to create one stack of output.
The block is centered around a substation that powers the 8 electric furnaces and can fit 10 beacons around it to improve efficiency.
Features of this calculator include.
You may find an essay on the subject which outlines the techniques used in this calculator here.
For example iron plate has a stack ratio of 2 1 because it takes 200 iron ore 2 stacks of 100.
This is only a sliver of the info available.
Factorio 1 0 is here and so are some updated designs.
Neat and compact furnace circuit and other designs.
Electric furnaces with efficiency 3.
This calculator is the result of a few years worth of fooling around off and on with performing calculations using factorio s recipe graph.
Proper handling of oil products.
Efficiency modules effectively reduce pollution by reducing energy usage.
The stack compression ratio and the belt compression ratio.
However we know that electric furnaces are the same speed as steel furnaces and they are more energy efficient if you are using solid fuels like coal or solid fuel.
The electric furnace is the third and last tier of furnace.
The efficient electric setup produced 456 copper plates.
Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories.
This is a compendium of the most common factorio facts as of v1 0 release.
As its name implies it uses electricity rather than fuel to operate removing the need for a fuel belt.
Note that minimal energy usage is 20 of base energy usage.
The compression ratio describes how efficiently a crafted item can be transported compared to its inputs.
There are two ratios to consider.
The non electric setup produced 125 copper plates.
It occupies a 3 3 area instead of a 2 2 area.
Such as the wiki reddit and factorio discord from which this is all based on.
