I've noticed that the Voidworks, an electrical entity, has smoke rising from a chimney above the little rotating gear on the roof.
Contra, the Voidforge, a burner entity, does not.

Correctly, however, the Forge's little window does show a burning animation, similar to the vanilla Furnace, and the Works has a steady glow.

Assuming the window burning/glow can stay consistent with the forge/works, could an update be rolled out that has smoke rising from the Forge instead of the Works?

The voidforge gives off puffs of smoke like many other burner entities. The voidworks has that little bit of colored haze, because it still gives off some pollution so it stands to reason it would be emitting something. The voidforge doesn't have that extra graphic because in my initial tests I didn't think it looked very good mixed with the puffs of smoke.

Fair enough. I must not have seen the puffs from the Forge and it just seemed much more intuitive that the Works wouldn't give off any smoke/haze-column at all.

You can close the thread if you like, thanks for clarification.
