Electric Blast Furnace: Difference between revisions

The EBF is often the first GT multiblock new players make, and as such is a common source of frustration and issues. Unlike single block machines, the Electric Blast Furnace has multiple valid configurations and if incorrectly built will void its recipe ingredients, wasting resources and power. Its recipe capabilities are determined by both the [[Coil]] block used and Energy Hatch(es) it's built with.

 

The EBF is 3x3x4 in size; four blocks tall with a 3x3 footprint. While not affected by rain, any [[Generator]]s or [[Battery Buffer]]s connected to it can catch fire and explode if exposed, so it's best covered or placed indoors. Use F9 to check chunk borders and ensure the EBF is contained in a single chunk. Partially loaded multiblocks are prone to deforming or exploding. LV is the minimum tier for [[Multiblock#Input Hatch|hatches and busses]], but they can be upgraded later for more capacity or greater effect.
