Other stations, like the Kiln (for making glass from sand) and Slime Workbench (for creating slime blocks), are also added to the game. Additionally, players can find unexpected surprises, like a furnace in a ruined house in the jungle temple, which can make gathering resources easier. Such surprises make Terraria hugely enjoyable!
Furnaces are the fiery foundation of any Terraria home!
Basic Furnaces
To create a furnace in Terraria, you’ll need to start with the basic furnaces. The standard furnace and the Hellforge are the two options available to you. The Standard Furnace is the easiest to create, and it doesn’t require much in terms of ingredients. The Hellforge is an upgrade that’ll let you smelt ore even faster, but the ingredients required are harder to obtain. In this post, we’ll show you how to use both furnaces and what items you can smelt in each one.
Standard Furnace
A table showcasing the types of furnaces, fuel types, efficiency ratings, and costs is here:
| Furnace Type | Fuel Type | Efficiency Rating | Approx. Cost |
| Single-Stage | Gas | 80% | $2,500 – $4,000 |
| Two-Stage | Gas | 90% | $2,800 – $5,500 |
| Oil | Oil | 83% | $4,000 – $6,200 |
Standard Furnaces filter dirt and dust particles, making air suitable for people with allergies or asthma. Regular maintenance increases the efficiency and lifespan of a furnace.
Finding the perfect furnace is like dating, we can’t find the one, so we settle for the least messy option.
Crafting station and ingredients
Crafting Basic Furnaces is easy! All you need is a Workbench and a few ingredients. The 20 Stone Blocks and 4 Wood Planks will do the trick. Once it’s set up, your furnace will be a light source for 3 tiles around it. Plus, you can use it to turn ores into bars and sand into glass.
