Mega Furnace

Mega Furnace

A Factorio 2.0 mod that adds giant late-game electric furnaces and a complete high-throughput logistics tier.

Designed to shrink massive smelting arrays into just a handful of machines, with matching belts and inserters to feed them at the rates they demand.

Entities

| Entity | Footprint | Crafting Speed | Notes | | -------------------------------- | --------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | Mega Furnace | 15×15 | 100 | 4.5 MW, 2 module slots | | High-Energy Mega Furnace | 15×15 | 160 | 15 MW, 500 kW idle drain, 4 module slots | | High-Throughput Inserter | 1×1 | — | 5 filter slots, belt stacking (Space Age) | | High-Throughput Transport Belt | 1×1 | 0.1875 (3 tiles/tick) | Bright-green tint | | High-Throughput Underground Belt | 1×1 | 0.1875 | Max distance 13 | | High-Throughput Splitter | 2×1 | 0.1875 | — | | High-Throughput Loader | 1×1 | — | Requires AAI Loaders |

Technology Tree

1. Mass Smelting — unlocks Mega Furnace (prerequisites: Logistics 3, Nuclear Power, Utility science pack)
2. Mass Smelting 2 — unlocks High-Energy Mega Furnace (prerequisites: Mass Smelting, Rocket Silo)
3. Mass Logistics — unlocks High-Throughput Inserter (prerequisites: Inserter Capacity Bonus 6, Mass Smelting)
4. High-Throughput Logistics — unlocks the belt/splitter/underground tier (prerequisite: Mass Logistics)

Furnaces use a custom mega-furnace-assembly crafting category available only to Assembling Machine 3.

Space Age Support

When the Space Age DLC is active, the mod automatically adapts:

• Belt stacking — the High-Throughput Inserter gains stack = true, placing items on belts as stacks just like the vanilla stack inserter. Stack size inherits from the base inserter and scales with research.
• Recipes — turbo belts, quantum processors, tungsten plates/carbide, and foundries replace their vanilla counterparts where appropriate.
• Science packs — advanced technologies also require metallurgic, electromagnetic, agricultural, and cryogenic science packs.
• Upgrade chain — logistics entities correctly slot between express/turbo tiers and the high-throughput tier.

Compatibility

• Factorio >= 2.0.0 (tested on 2.0.76)
• Space Age >= 2.0.0 (optional) — recipes, science, and stacking adapt automatically
• AAI Loaders >= 0.2.0 (optional) — adds a matching High-Throughput Loader tier

Installation

1. Place the mod folder or zip into Factorio's mods directory.
2. Enable "Mega Furnace" in the in-game mod manager.
