| == Burner or electric? ==
| | Furnaces with module slots are affected by [[beacon]]s. Currently this is only the case for electric furnaces. |
|
| |
|
| There are several discussions about what is better: steel furnace or electric furnace.

| The furnace chooses the used recipe by itself (it uses the recipe with the right input item). This behavior can be used to furnace, depending on what is currently needed/coming in.

| Note, that this strategy is quite advanced, cause the inserters will fill normally the furnace up to 5 items, so especially when the output is blocked (cause too much produced) you cannot input (the more needed) item.

| == Relationship to [[Assembling machine]] ==
| |
| Since v0.11 the furnaces are technically (c++ code) the same class. This means for example for modding, that a furnace should be able to use two input items.
