Fueling[]
The Foundry requires fueling before it can be ignited. Firewood items as well as Coal can be fed to an unfueled Foundry. Over time it will change from blazing to slowly burning and then eventually extinguish. Once slowly burning, it can be refueled again to prevent it from extinguishing.
Igniting[]
To ignite the Foundry, a Flint Lighter, Bow Drill, Matchstick, or a Burning Torch can be used. Heavy rain will extinguish the fire and prevent it from being reignited as well.
Usage[]
The Foundry is used to craft various steel items such as Steel Rods, Steel Tubes, Cannonballs and Copper Wire as well as a range of various armor sets and steel tools and weapons. Assuming the weather is fine, the Smelting Furnace will change from blazing to slowly burning after 8 minutes. It will burn for another 5 minutes without being refueled. This gives a total time of approximately 13 minutes before finally extinguishing.
