Oh, I just realized, fabricator make furnaces obsolete, i mean w/ 3 energy modules inserted into them, for 80kwh + 0.4 pollution, working w/ electricity they are far superior. Yes, they take a bit more space and are slower, but still, they are maybe superior to electric furnaces too, which are blue sci tech.
Maybe plate recipes should have plate ingredients? Or was that intentional for you to be able to replace furnaces w/ fabricators?
