Factorio Electric Furnace Efficiency

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories.

Factorio electric furnace efficiency.

A huge thanks to to all the contributors on github as well as the community who made the previous cheat sheets and other resources. Proper handling of oil products. It occupies a 3 3 area instead of a 2 2 area. You may find an essay on the subject which outlines the techniques used in this calculator here.

Factorio 1 0 is here and so are some updated designs. In the old days of factorio people used to make arrays that could accommodate 3x3 electric furnaces. The stack compression ratio and the belt compression ratio. For example iron plate has a stack ratio of 2 1 because it takes 200 iron ore 2 stacks of 100.

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. Efficiency modules effectively reduce pollution by reducing energy usage. The stack compression ratio is how many stacks of input it takes to create one stack of output.

The non electric setup produced 125 copper plates. The efficiency module reduces the cost of electricity to run the machine by 30. Electric furnaces with efficiency 3. This is a compendium of the most common factorio facts as of v1 0 release.

The compression ratio describes how efficiently a crafted item can be transported compared to its inputs. Note that minimal energy usage is 20 of base energy usage. The electric furnace smelts items at the same speed as a steel furnace and also has two slots for modules however it is slightly larger than the other two tiers of furnaces. Features of this calculator include.

The electric furnace is the third and last tier of furnace. This calculator is the result of a few years worth of fooling around off and on with performing calculations using factorio s recipe graph. Here is a picture of my setups. There are two ratios to consider.

With 10 coal as the standard power input. The block is centered around a substation that powers the 8 electric furnaces and can fit 10 beacons around it to improve efficiency. I present to you a neat space efficient tileable and module customizeable electric smelting block. 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.

This is only a sliver of the info available. As its name implies it uses electricity rather than fuel to operate removing the need for a fuel belt. Neat and compact furnace circuit and other designs.
