Blast Furnace

Blast Furnace - a superior form of furnace for smelting in mass quantities.

Requires 50u of power to operate. It processes inputs at a tick rate of 2 per second with a 25% chance to process two sets of inputs in a tick. Compared to its upgrade, the Arc Smelter, it does not give bonus outputs as often and is unable to process Deuterium Rod or Metallic Hydrogen.

It has an efficiency of around 60% (Fission Furnace has an efficiency of 50%) and provides extra materials.

It should be noted that this is not a straight upgrade to the Fission Furnace or the vanilla furnace. While it is superior at smelting single ores, it cannot create more advanced recipes, such as Nocxium Bars or Silicon Boards.
