Advanced Furnace???

[BanditWarBoss]

Is there something I am missing I just tested out making some glass, and its about 30 Liquid Gel for 100 glass, which only produces 100 fragments? It takes around 20-30 minutes to craft. Roughly for a full Tablet cycle of fragments its 110 liquid gel and almost 2 hours of crafting?

Whats the point in using this to make glass, considering the time it takes to craft, and how much liquid gel it takes just to get 100 glass?

Am I missing something here?

Broken, like do many other stuff in this game.

But the graphics is nice 😂

If you read the description of the furnaces, it says they need the speed of a moving walker to reach high temperatures. I haven't tested this side by side since I usually leave my furnaces in a base and go do other ♥♥♥♥, but I've heard mixed results some people say having the furnace on a moving walker doubles the speed, others say it barely increases it at all, I don't know. I recommend building a clay base and putting like 6 furnaces inside it to speed things up.

I know for a fact the moving mechanic is not in game yet. With burning starting today, building a clay base with that meany furnaces seems pointless :/

So they should remove permanent bases from the tech tree or at least dramatically cut their building cost.

Clay bases are there for people who plan to spend the entire cycle in one oasis.
Pull in on thaw with resources gathered from previous cycle, drop foundations and start grinding to finish your base.
Day 13 start reclaiming mats and head east.
Repeat.

Even easier with a clan pulling multiple walkers full of mats.

Not as much for a solo but still feasible if you plan for it.
