Factorio Electric Furnace Layout Blueprint
Place the first row of smelters.
Factorio electric furnace layout blueprint. Blueprint string for 3 wide version. Note that the blueprint overlaps with itself at the top to tile. The block is centered around a substation that powers the 8 electric furnaces and can fit 10 beacons around it to improve efficiency. 24 on each side of a central output belt.
You should construct on a 14 14 tiles grid at the start. Included in the blueprints are two ready made end game setups. Seamless space saving blueprints 14 14 tiles there are many examples in factorio download game related to how to build up something on a small and cramped location by only using the substation range of 14 14 tiles. Leave a 1 tile space then place an output belt going in the direction of your planned main bus.
As its name implies it uses electricity rather than fuel to operate removing the need for a fuel belt. 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. One with speed modules one with production modules. Design blueprint i ve made a configurable beaconed smelting setup that makes 1 full blue belt worth of iron copper plates.
46 furnaces two removed and replaced with substations 72 tiles occupied with furnaces edit corrected from 75 i forgot to subtract the substations. It occupies a 3 3 area instead of a 2 2 area. This design uses two columns of furnaces.
