The stack compression ratio and the belt compression ratio.
Factorio electric furnace efficiency.
The electric furnace is the third and last tier of furnace.
You may find an essay on the subject which outlines the techniques used in this calculator here.
This is a compendium of the most common factorio facts as of v1 0 release.
The block is centered around a substation that powers the 8 electric furnaces and can fit 10 beacons around it to improve efficiency.
This calculator is the result of a few years worth of fooling around off and on with performing calculations using factorio s recipe graph.
Electric furnaces with efficiency 3.
Features of this calculator include.
The non electric setup produced 125 copper plates.
As its name implies it uses electricity rather than fuel to operate removing the need for a fuel belt.
Efficiency modules effectively reduce pollution by reducing energy usage.
A huge thanks to to all the contributors on github as well as the community who made the previous cheat sheets and other resources.
With 10 coal as the standard power input.
Neat and compact furnace circuit and other designs.
For example iron plate has a stack ratio of 2 1 because it takes 200 iron ore 2 stacks of 100.
In the old days of factorio people used to make arrays that could accommodate 3x3 electric furnaces.
This is only a sliver of the info available.
Here is a picture of my setups.
However we know that electric furnaces are the same speed as steel furnaces and they are more energy efficient if you are using solid fuels like coal or solid fuel.
Proper handling of oil products.
The efficient electric setup produced 456 copper plates.
Note that minimal energy usage is 20 of base energy usage.
Meaning you need 24 12 per side for full saturation of yellow belt 48 24 per side for red belt and 70 35 per side for blue belt.
The efficiency module reduces the cost of electricity to run the machine by 30.
It occupies a 3 3 area instead of a 2 2 area.
The compression ratio describes how efficiently a crafted item can be transported compared to its inputs.
Luckily steel and electric furnaces both have the same smelting speed so the ratios will be the same for both and on top of that their speed is exactly double that of a stone furnace so 2 so we can just half all the above numbers.
The stack compression ratio is how many stacks of input it takes to create one stack of output.
There are two ratios to consider.
Factorio 1 0 is here and so are some updated designs.
Such as the wiki reddit and factorio discord from which this is all based on.
I present to you a neat space efficient tileable and module customizeable electric smelting block.
