Steel making: Difference between revisions

#First, place the grate blocks and the coffin. These are the centre blocks of the structure. The coffin half will always be placed with the open side towards the player. As soon as the full coffin is placed - without coffin lid, for now - the player can {{SneakClick}} for the building help.{{-}}

#The full size of the furnace takes up a 5x5 space as shown below.{{-}}

#Raise the walls up by two blocks, and don't forget to place the iron door at some point in the process.{{-}}

#Build up the roof, covering every open block with one above in a stair pattern. The finished furnace should have a two high chimney as shown below.{{-}}

The confusing part about building a refractory furnace is the space below the actual brick structure. For the process to work, the player needs to be able to access the two spots below the coffin placed on the grate blocks, as the steel making requires fuel layers to be placed on those two blocks. Due to the fact that coal will behave similar to snow if piled up to high, it is recommended to put stabilizing blocks to the side of the two open spaces for the coal. It is not required that this space can be closed off airtight, the player can choose to leave a permanent hole or put in a coke oven door. Note that none of the refractory brick blocks can be removed to access this space, instead the opening needs to be created one block below the lowest brick layer. A functioning furnace underbelly could look like this:{{-}}

If the structure was build correctly, there will be no further indication of missing or misplaced block when {{SneakClick}}ing the coffin.
