I'm sorry, I really fail to see why should I ever use the vanilla electric furnace when the second tier from this mod is cheaper and has the same crafting speed? I feel like I'm missing something important

Also, I can see the vanilla one produces 1 pollution per minute, but the tooltip says nothing about the tier 2 furnace from this mod. Does it not produce pollution at all?

Thanks for your time.

Took a quick look at the prototypes, near as I can tell these furnaces don't have module slots. That might be the only difference between tier 2 and tier 3 furnaces.

As for pollution, it looks like the tier 2 furnace produces twice as much as tier 1.
