Mega Furnace
A Factorio 2.0 mod that adds giant late-game electric furnaces and a complete high-throughput logistics tier.
Designed to shrink massive smelting arrays into just a handful of machines, with matching belts and inserters to feed them at the rates they demand.
Entities
| Entity | Footprint | Crafting Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Furnace | 15×15 | 100 | 4.5 MW, 2 module slots |
| High-Energy Mega Furnace | 15×15 | 160 | 15 MW, 500 kW idle drain, 4 module slots |
| High-Throughput Inserter | 1×1 | — | 5 filter slots, belt stacking (Space Age) |
| High-Throughput Transport Belt | 1×1 | 0.1875 (3 tiles/tick) | Bright-green tint |
| High-Throughput Underground Belt | 1×1 | 0.1875 | Max distance 13 |
| High-Throughput Splitter | 2×1 | 0.1875 | — |
| High-Throughput Loader | 1×1 | — | Requires AAI Loaders |
Technology Tree
- Mass Smelting — unlocks Mega Furnace (prerequisites: Logistics 3, Nuclear Power, Utility science pack)
- Mass Smelting 2 — unlocks High-Energy Mega Furnace (prerequisites: Mass Smelting, Rocket Silo)
- Mass Logistics — unlocks High-Throughput Inserter (prerequisites: Inserter Capacity Bonus 6, Mass Smelting)
- High-Throughput Logistics — unlocks the belt/splitter/underground tier (prerequisite: Mass Logistics)
Furnaces use a custom mega-furnace-assembly crafting category available only to Assembling Machine 3.
Space Age Support
When the Space Age DLC is active, the mod automatically adapts:
- Belt stacking — the High-Throughput Inserter gains
stack = true, placing items on belts as stacks just like the vanilla stack inserter. Stack size inherits from the base inserter and scales with research. - Recipes — turbo belts, quantum processors, tungsten plates/carbide, and foundries replace their vanilla counterparts where appropriate.
- Science packs — advanced technologies also require metallurgic, electromagnetic, agricultural, and cryogenic science packs.
- Upgrade chain — logistics entities correctly slot between express/turbo tiers and the high-throughput tier.
Compatibility
- Factorio
>= 2.0.0(tested on 2.0.76) - Space Age
>= 2.0.0(optional) — recipes, science, and stacking adapt automatically - AAI Loaders
>= 0.2.0(optional) — adds a matching High-Throughput Loader tier
Installation
- Place the mod folder or zip into Factorio's
modsdirectory. - Enable "Mega Furnace" in the in-game mod manager.
