About this build
Two rows of 48 electric furnaces: the first row smelts iron ore into iron plates and the second row turns those plates straight into steel, all from one red belt of iron ore.
Saves a separate iron line just for steel. Built in Factorio 1.1 by its author; 2.0 converts it when you import it, so check it once after placing.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 73 × 21 tiles.
- It works in the base game without Space Age.
- It has 96 crafting machines, so connect enough power before you switch it on.
- It is large: construction robots will place it much faster than building by hand.
- It was made in Factorio 1.1; the game converts it when you import it, so check it once after placing.
