The Blast Furnace is a Crafting Table. It is an upgraded version of the Bloomery, with additional capabilities, including the important function of making Steel Bar. The Blast Furnace creates Air Pollution, as well as Slag as a byproduct when smelting, but in lower quantity than the Bloomery. The Blast Furnace requires Iron Pipe or Copper Pipe to avoid build-up in the output.
The Blast Furnace needs water to function. Water is supplied using pipes and a Mechanical Water Pump or Electric Water Pump. Based on the type of water pump will depend on the type of power supply you need.
When the Blast Furnace is using water, it will create Sewage. Sewage needs to be dumped somewhere but it will damage the ecosystem with pollution. Using a Waste Filter can prevent pollution.
