That's a pretty neat intermediate tutorial, I am very glad for. Because either you find the very basic 'put a valve and an exhaust onto your furnace and stuff oxite and volatiles in' or grand master black magic a la 'Here I have my setup that smelts everything into everything with the flick of a switch in my comfy command-center and also packs it, sells it and keeps an eye on the stock market...' This here is exactly what I need ... after blowing up my base one to many times :D
Love this tutorial. I've referenced in many times over the years. I got back into Stationeers this week and needed a refresh on how to set up my furnace!
For anyone curious, you don't HAVE to wait for night if you have below-ground cold storage. You can go down there and split stacks and don't put them in your hands. Keep the split stacks in your inventory and they won't melt. Drag them straight from your inventory into the furnace. If you haven't dug out a big pit to put a room in for cold storage (or if that doesn't still work these days it was a long time ago) you can just split stacks at night into mining belts and keep those belts in your inventory, but not really necessary since you shouldn't need more than 2 sets each at first, before you automate the fuel. So if you need to plan ahead and know daylight is coming, before the temp rises, mine it, split it, pull it from your hand back into your inventory, and you're good, you can smelt early on during the day too. But if you put it in storage, like a locker, crate, on the ground, in your hands, etc... it will evaporate. As long as it's in your spacesuit inventory, it will be fine and you can drag and drop it right into the furnace.
My furnace didn't come with a manual... Anyway had a volume mixer based setup, might have forgotten to switch off the mixer, non insulated pipes, or maybe the H & O mixture detonated when i released the pressure from the furnace (to refilter it)... Left a nice big crater and even damaged the filtering system some distance away
Question regarding your quality of life upgrade. So once you automate the opening of the furnace, doesn't that mean that you can no longer create alloys like steel? Surely once you stick the iron into the furnace it will automatically spit out iron ingots before you get the chance to put the coal into the furnace.
In the setup with gas mixer and the two tanks, how do you refill the tanks? Do you use a single ice crusher and pass the output through filters or a single ice crusher per tank? What would it be the best way for this specific setup?
Another question, I did the setup with the electrolyzer, but it doesn't build the pressure in the buffer pipes as fast as your video. Is it because they've updated mechanics/physics since the video was made?
lol started to go the suggested "easier" way of just using the Hydrolizer. Got it all hooked up then discovered it uses nearly 4kw of power to run. I really wish the in game stationpedia was more accurate on power consumption of devices :(
How does the auto ingot ejection keep the items in the furnace when you're trying to make alloys? Do you have a lever to turn that function off when smelting alloys?
@@cowsareevil7514 i don't know if it was a recent update, but, as it stands now, if you leave the door open, it will automatically eject ingots as soon as the amount inserted is done melting. its no good for alloys, but great for automating base material smelting into compact ingots, which a stacker can combine to save a lot of space, and without any extra logic applied to boot.
Has the Electrolyzer changed since you made this video? I replicated your setup, but for me it's taking several minutes between the Electrolyzer switching-on and the Pipe Meter pressure getting into the green. For you ( @4:49 ) it takes about 8 seconds. Maybe I'm doing something stupid, but not sure what.
@@robertnett9793 I tried this and even just one electrolyzer drained all the power my base had and never created enough anything to start the furnace...
little info for people who wants to use this build the electrolizer is worthless to fuel the furnace now much better off with 2 ice crushers and gas mixer sadly since updates :-) oh and lets not forget the filtration system for the nitrogen in the oxyte cheers
A patch update changed the electrolyzer to be slower and use more power. You'll need to use stored oxygen and hydrogen fuel mix. That, or have the electrolyzer output into a fuel storage tank to use with the furnace later.
I got problem with that. I got pressure but I can't get high temperature .. but my pipes are much longer Any ideas :) I build advanced furnance but it was even worse :) imgur.com/a/QKnVIBw
@@GURU500uk You have a long pipe and it looks loke a small tank in the fuel line. It will take a lot of fuel to build up pressure. Remove the tank and shorten the pipe and the fuel pressure should build quickly.
This is great. Never thought of turning it on it's side. I have mine magically suspended in the vacuum of space.

The first stationeers tutorial that isn't an hour long AND actually has useful information. Thumbs up.
OMG, amazing, great explanation, easy, quick, to the point... and yet I learned a lot more than other videos... thanks !

Cracking good tutorial, mate. Way better than one of your countrymen TH-camrs who, after 100+ episodes, can't make alloys consistently.
Very nice instructions and tips. I never thought of turning the thing sideways.
Thank you very much for posting this. I had no idea you could use water & electrolyzer to fuel the furnace.
Thanks again!
This was a great tutorial! A simple, straight forward explanation. Just what was needed - Keep it up Cow :) You have gained a new subscriber here

My electrolyzer don't build up pressure as fast as yours do, I got tired of waiting and I added oxite and exploded half my base.
I love the smell of burning fuel-gas in the morning...

You got yourself a new subscriber with that video, great teaching sir!
You can click-drag into the input without sublimating ices. (Press and hold ALT, then just drag and drop, no sublimating!)

Put the coal in first, then the iron. It shouldn't open until you add the iron then.
@@TianarTruegard You still have the problem with other alloys
@@trsiel8953 The only alternative I can think of is to turn off the logic reader until you put all the alloy's material.
excellent tutorial
BEst tutorial out there. Simple. NO faffing.

This is very useful for beginners (me), thanks.
Nice explanation ! thnx!
The auto-open seems like it would prevent you from doing most alloys

Lol file that over their, throws it arcoss the room. Makes me think of my first journeyman I worked under. It was pretty much a weekly event.
i don't seem to be able to connect my pipe meter to a insulated pipe and i don't seem to be able to find a insulated variant got any idea why?
It should work. amke sure you don't have anything else blocking it.

It was changed in the go with flow update. Much slower now. I use the mixer for my builds now.
Well, wouldn't it work, if you just used more electrolyzers?
@@robertnett9793 I tried this and even just one electrolyzer drained all the power my base had and never created enough anything to start the furnace...
Thanks mate this was a huge help!
Where do you get a passive vent? no one mentions this!
The vents come from the pipe bender.
How do you fill the tanks? Water, Hydrogen, Oxygen?
You will need a filtration system
little info for people who wants to use this build the electrolizer is worthless to fuel the furnace now much better off with 2 ice crushers and gas mixer sadly since updates :-) oh and lets not forget the filtration system for the nitrogen in the oxyte cheers
i cant find the electrolyzer anywhere?
It is a variant of the atmospherics kit
Does the electrolyzer fueling method still work with the hydration update?
Yes, but slowly and for a lot of power. I usually use the mixer for my furnaces now.
What have you got against cows?
The electrolysizer don't work anymore?
A patch update changed the electrolyzer to be slower and use more power. You'll need to use stored oxygen and hydrogen fuel mix. That, or have the electrolyzer output into a fuel storage tank to use with the furnace later.
You forgot to file away the electrum.
no way... the only thing im getting with this is regeant mix, not steel and waste my materials for that
love the content but PLEASE stop smacking your lips in the recording lol
I got problem with that. I got pressure but I can't get high temperature .. but my pipes are much longer
Any ideas :) I build advanced furnance but it was even worse :)

You have low fuel pressure. You need high fuel pressure for combustion in a high pressure furnace.
@@cowsareevil7514 I know but how to get high pressure ? I put the valve on output and close it but it's small improvement.
@@GURU500uk You have a long pipe and it looks loke a small tank in the fuel line. It will take a lot of fuel to build up pressure. Remove the tank and shorten the pipe and the fuel pressure should build quickly.
