      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

How much pig iron does a blast furnace put out?

10 posts in this topic

I was testing out a blast furnace in creative (darn graphite still eludes me in survival). I tossed in 8 charcoal to get it started, then 8 magnetite, 8 flux, and 8 more charcoal. When I pulled the pig iron from the crucible, I got 3 full molds and one nearly full mold. I was under the impression that 8 ore should only produce enough for 2 ingots. Is this a bug or is the blast furnace simply more efficient?

I have the same experience. I'll throw 20 ore in along with the 20 flux and charcoal, and more often than not I get more than 5 ingots and then some.

This isn't a bug. Move along citizen.

I fired up my creative world to test the new blast furnace mechanics. Despite waiting for several days, the iron never melted down. Also, the patch notes mention that the blast furnace needs to be lit like a bloomery, but this is impossible since right clicking opens the UI, and the furnace still lights up without doing so.

Did you keep supplying it with charcoal?

Yes, I fed charcoal in as it depleted. It was really boring and I got nothing for it.

Blast Furnaces were corrected in hotfix 20 to fix this issue. It wasn't as much a bug as it was outdated code.

What issue was fixed exactly? My blast furnace is no longer producing pig iron, it's just sitting there eating charcoal.
