Kiln

The Kiln is an RF-powered electric furnace that processes any vanilla smelting recipe. It works like a furnace but uses RF energy instead of fuel, and is faster and more efficient for automated setups.

Yields: 1× Kiln (requires Machine Core, 5× Iron Ingot, 3× Redstone)

Behavior

The Kiln is a direct replacement for a vanilla furnace in automated setups. Place an item in the input slot and the Kiln will smelt it using RF energy, depositing the result in the output slot.

Key features: - Processes any vanilla smelting recipe (ores, raw metals, food, etc.) - Input from top and sides; output from bottom (same as a vanilla furnace) - Uses RF energy — no fuel slot - Recipe book integration — browse all valid recipes in the GUI - Energy capacity: 10,000 RF; max input: 128 RF/tick; consumption: 1 RF/tick while active

Setup

  1. Place the Kiln in your automation area
  2. Connect power — attach a Stirling Engine or any RF source to a side or top face
  3. Feed input — pipe items in from the top or sides (e.g., use an Item Extractor Pipe on a chest)
  4. Collect output — pipe from the bottom into storage

The Kiln will smelt continuously as long as it has power and input items.

Uses

The Kiln is particularly useful for: - Smelting ore → ingot in automated pipelines - Processing raw metals extracted by the Laser Quarry - Smelting Quartz Dust into Quartz Crystal (required for Valve crafting) - Smelting Silicon Mix into Silicon Wafer (required for Chips)

Tips

  • At only 1 RF/tick, the Kiln is very energy-efficient — a single Stirling Engine can power many kilns simultaneously
  • Connect with pipes to fully automate: extract raw materials → kiln → output storage
  • Use the recipe book in the GUI to verify which items the Kiln can process
  • The Macerator pairs well with the Kiln: grind ores into dust in the Macerator, then smelt dust into ingots in the Kiln for higher yields
