Cattastrafy Posted February 17, 2025 Report Posted February 17, 2025 Heya homies, Made my first Furnace. Followed a youtube guide, the wiki, and filled in the ghost blocks with all the things. At the end it stopped saying I had anything out of place, and wouldn't allow me to hide or show the ghost structure anymore (guess that means I did it right?) when looking at the coffin. So I filled it, no problems, fueled it underneath, directly under the coffin two slots, no problem. It's still cooking but, I don't see a message box at the top when I look at the coffin while its working to view the % completion. At no point did it say its "ready to be lit" or anything I don't think. How do I know if I'm just wasting charcoal on this if I messed something up? Just keep it going a week and see?
idiomcritter Posted February 17, 2025 Report Posted February 17, 2025 just curious, are you checking with the iron door open or closed (should be open on checking)...

Ahh, didn't know, but yes the door was open. The furnace was lit and fueled so I couldn't be in their with door shut. Hoping that it being fired means it's working, not sure if you can fire it without everything set up or not.

Dilan Rona Posted February 17, 2025 Report Posted February 17, 2025 I used charcoal. Never had problems with my furnace setup.

I was commenting on that you don't have to use charcoal for the fire below the coffin. When I created my first furnace I thought I had to use charcoal or coke because that is what you have to use inside the coffin.
Cattastrafy Posted February 17, 2025 Author Report Posted February 17, 2025 Yeah something's wrong here. I'll have all but one block in place, put coffin in, it'll tell me that one block is missing, I'll add block, the ghost structure looks complete, it no longer says anything is outta place, the option to hide/show structure disappears entirely, and no message above coffin when i look at it as if its not ready to proceed cause something's wrong.
Zane Mordien Posted February 17, 2025 Report Posted February 17, 2025 You already filled the coffin with iron? 1
Cattastrafy Posted February 17, 2025 Author Report Posted February 17, 2025 It turned out as I expected: I'm stupid. Thought I was supposed to fill it with 12 iron bars/coal, turns out it's 16! Lots of good info in here for me though thank you all! 3
Zane Mordien Posted February 18, 2025 Report Posted February 18, 2025 LOL, it happens. Glad you figured it out without pulling out all your hair. 2
LadyWYT Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 6 minutes ago, wesley van der veen said: can you make iron it in No. The cementation furnace is for refining iron ingots into steel. To refine iron from iron ore, you'll need to smelt the iron nuggets in a bloomery to get iron blooms. The iron blooms will then need to be worked into ingots at the forge, either by hand or via the helve hammer.
