High Oven

The High Oven is a multiblock structure added by Tinkers' Steelworks. It can be used to melt metals similarly to a Smeltery, or can make more advance recipes such as Steel, Pig Iron and Nether Quartz.

Construction


To create the high oven, the player needs a High Oven Controller and at least 25 of any compatible structure block. To build it, the player must first make a 3x3 base layer of structure blocks, then add as many 3x3 layers of structure blocks with an air block in the center as desired, and then cap it off with another 3x3 layer structure blocks. Up to one High Oven Controller can be placed at any layer except the top or the bottom, and must be placed in the center column.

High Ovens can be built from the following structure blocks:
 * Scorched Bricks
 * Scorched Stone
 * Scorched Cobblestone
 * Scorched Paver
 * Cracked Scorched Bricks
 * Scorched Road
 * Fancy Scorched Bricks
 * Chiseled Scorched Bricks
 * Creepy Scorched Bricks
 * Scorched Drain
 * Scorched Duct

Usage


Once a valid structure is built, the High Oven Controller can be right clicked to reveal an interface. The interface will show the current temperature, the fuel slot, and the ingredient slots. It will also include input slots on the side, which will be 1 slot per layer of the oven (not including the top or bottom layer), with a maximum of 6 slots with an 8 block tall oven. Lastly, it includes a tank, which can store up to 20,000 mb per layer (not including the top or bottom layer).

Heat
A High Oven has a heat display at the top of the GUI, which shows the current heat of the oven. It has a minimum of 20°c when "cold", and a maximum of 2000°c, though that maximum heat is raised by 500°c per layer after the first (not including the top and bottom layers) up to a highest maximum of 9,500°c with an 18 block tall oven. In order to melt materials the oven must reach a certain heat, which is based on the inputted item.

In order to heat the oven, a valid fuel must be placed into the fuel slot. Only "pure" fuels are accepted, and each fuel has a different rate of heat and burn time. Note that based on which mods are installed, some fuel choices may be unavailable.

If the oven uses up its current piece of fuel and there are no more pieces of fuel, or the structure becomes invalid (eg, a block is broken), it will rapidly start losing heat, which will stop as soon as the structure is repaired or more fuel is supplied.

Ingredients
In order to produce more complicated recipes, the high oven needs to be supplied with an oxidizer, a reducer, and a purifier in the respective slots. Each of these ingredients has a consumption chance, which determines how often the ingredient is consumed when making recipes. Some recipes also support multiple different oxidizers, reducers, or purifiers, in which case any can be provided and the recipe will still work. Note that based on which mods are installed, some oxidizers, reducers, or purifiers may be unavailable.
