Advanced Furnaces 2: Improved

Five high-throughput electric furnace tiers with matching conveyors and loaders for Factorio 2.1.

Configurable crafting speed, energy use and pollution.
Optional vanilla and Space Age research progression.
Configurable steel yield and optional direct steel recipes for suitable modded ores.
Wagon loaders with quality-aware filters and stack metadata support.
Updated furnace artwork and matching belt and loader graphics.
Localized furnace names, settings and descriptions for all 50 bundled game locales.

Installation and settings

Requires Factorio 2.1.23 or newer. Disable Load-Furn-2-SpaceAgeFix and Load-Furn-2-2-1-SAFix before enabling this fork. Multiplayer peers need matching mod versions and startup settings.

Wagon loading and additional ore smelting are disabled by default. Wagon loading supports stationary cardinal layouts. The direct iron-ore steel recipe produces one steel from five ore by default; its yield is configurable.

Extra ore smelting requires suitable recipes from installed mods. It excludes fluid and chemical processes, random results, byproducts and recipes with special restrictions. Full overhaul compatibility is not guaranteed; SE research profiles are experimental.
