How to build a furnace in raft?
In the game Raft, the item you're looking for to smelt materials like ores and scrap is called a Smelter. There isn't an item explicitly named a "furnace," but the Smelter fulfills this role. There are two main types: the standard Smelter and the more advanced Electric Smelter.
Here's how to craft both versions based on the materials required:
Crafting the Standard Smelter
The standard Smelter is your initial tool for processing raw materials. It requires fuel (like planks) to operate.
To craft a regular Smelter, you will need the following materials:
- Planks: 4
- Dry Bricks: 6
- Scrap: 4
- Nails: 6
Once crafted, place it on your raft or island base, add raw materials (like scrap or ore), and provide fuel to start the smelting process.
Crafting the Electric Smelter
The Electric Smelter is an upgraded version that typically smelts materials faster and requires electricity instead of fuel items. It uses rarer materials compared to the standard Smelter.
To craft the Electric Smelter, players will need these materials:
- Dry Bricks: 10
- Circuit Board: 1
- Metal Ingots: 6
- Titanium Ingots: 6
This version needs to be connected to a power source, such as an Engine or a Wind Turbine, to function.
Here's a quick overview of the materials needed:
| Item | Standard Smelter | Electric Smelter |
|---|---|---|
| Planks | 4 | - |
| Dry Bricks | 6 | 10 |
| Scrap | 4 | - |
| Nails | 6 | - |
| Circuit Board | - | 1 |
| Metal Ingots | - | 6 |
| Titanium Ingots | - | 6 |
Understanding the materials required for each Smelter allows you to prioritize your resource gathering efforts depending on whether you're building your first smelting station or upgrading to a more efficient setup.
