Getting Started with Multi-Slot Factory Smelting
The Compressed Furnace Mod replaces massive walls of individual furnaces with single factory blocks capable of bulk smelting.
Choosing a Machine Tier
The mod provides processing blocks across three distinct tiers:
- Tier 1: Features two input slots for basic bulk processing.
- Tier 2: Expands your capacity with four input slots.
- Tier 3 (Triple Compressed): Offers six input slots for massive processing tasks.
Higher tiers process significantly more materials at once without enlarging your base footprint.
Operating the Machine
1. Place your factory machine on the ground and right-click to open its menu.
2. Insert standard fuel, such as coal or wood, into the fuel area. The machine saves fuel by only burning fuel when it actively cooks an item.
3. Place your materials into the input slots. The machine automatically splits your items evenly across all matching input slots to speed up the work.
4. When cooking starts, the front of the dark block displays glowing orange moving face animations indicating that it is running.
