Raw Refractory bricks need to be baked at 850°C for 27 fuel ticks to turn into Fired Refractory Bricks. Those can then be used to craft their tier specific brick blocks and brick grating blocks. The different tiers of refractory bricks have different heat resistances. Tier 1 has a heat resistance of 90%, Tier 2 has 95%, and Tier 3 reaches 100%. All refractory brick blocks have a chance to receive damage in each smelting process. Each tier 1 brick block has a 1 in 10 chance to break, while it is 1 in 20 for tier 2. Tier 3 refractory bricks have a low 1 in 1000 chance to break. Damaged refractory brick blocks can be broken to return some of their materials back, similar to a broken bloomery. Grate blocks do not get damaged at the moment, which means there is not sense in making them out of higher tier bricks.

And iron door can either be found in ruins, or crafted out of 6 iron plates. Stone coffins can be made out of [[Granite]] or [[Andesite]].

To build a functioning cementation furnace, the player needs 1 iron door, 2 stone coffin sections and 2 stone coffin lids, 6 refractory brick gratings, 53 refractory brick blocks and a number of dirt or stone blocks to build the coal burning area beneath the furnace structure itself.

The furnace is a multiblock structure that needs to be build in a specific way to ensure it is functioning as intended. When starting the build of a furnace, the player can {{SneakClick}} the stone coffin with coal or an empty hand to trigger a building help overlay. {{SneakClick}}ing will additionally inform the player about the number of still missing or misplaced blocks in the structure.<br>

|It is recommended to try putting down the coffin before even planning where the furnace will go, as it can only be build in the direction the overlay shows. The direction pointed out by the coffin will be consistent in the whole world, but can differ between worlds. Unfortunately, it cannot be changed, and a furnace build in any other direction then the one given by the overlay will not function.
|The direction from where the player accesses the coffin while checking for the overlay will dictate the direction the building overlay is shown. The furnace will always assume that the coffin block the player hits when checking is the one nearest to the future furnace door - regardless if the player accesses from the side of the coffin or from the actual end of it.

The player should allocate at least a 5x5 space for the furnace, and additional space to reach the back or side of the furnace to input coal or coke. The furnace structure is 6 blocks high, but an additional layer below the grate blocks is required. The chimney on top of the structure does not have to be open to the sky at the moment, but if it is blocked there will be no smoke indications shown while the furnace is running. Keep in mind that the furnace is, for now, always build with the door side facing in one specific direction, even if the whole structure is already finished and the coffin is added as the last element, the building overlay will still demand to build the structure with a specific orientation, regardless of how the player build it already. The orientation seems to be different from world to world - further testing or code diving needed.

One stone coffin will hold a total of 16 iron ingots and 40 fuel pieces - either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]]. Place down one layer of fuel with {{SneakClick}} first, then one layer of iron ingots. Repeat until the coffin is full and will not accept any more items. The coffin should allow 5 layers of fuel with 8 pieces per layer, and 4 layers of iron ingots with 4 ingots per layer.<br>

Once filled, the coffin tool tip will indicate that a coffin lid needs to be placed on top of the coffin. Note that the coffin needs to be filled completely, otherwise the process will not start even if the lid is placed and coal beneath ignited.<br>

Line 178: Line 185:
Blister steel in itself is not yet workable steel, instead it behaves similar to iron blooms, and further refining is necessary. To turn blister steel into steel, it needs to be processed on an iron [[anvil]] either by hand or with the help of a helve hammer. Note that the blister steel is less complicated to process by hand then iron blooms, and there is no possibility of pixel loss if processed by hand, making helve hammer processing almost overkill.
