I prefer to use the salvaged shelf to put electric furnaces on. 1 shelf could fit 6 furnaces, and you save on space a bit Then you add an electric splitter for each level of the shelf, so 2 splitters, 2 branches (each branch out 10 = 3funace+splitter), and then you could use the second splitter output for the conveyors.

[@DownPixel]

I watch you a lot and your clips are terribly useful, just keep going, please i LOVE YOU Jfarr 💙

[@luckymikemadziar]

I have been doing this for several wipes and what a time saver! Just dump your ore and go! Another great video!

[@JfarrYT]

Thanks mate and really is such a time save. Also, you start to see your profits go way up, due to always cooking the raw resources that otherwise gets left in the box for later.

[@i_be_eternity]

Agreed. My teammates always yell at me for it but every time we always have what we need. I’ve even set up full base sorting and that gets us out of the base and fighting more often and back to fights more quickly. Makes me think they just don’t like playing rust.

[@KILL_KR4ZY]

First time using electric furnaces and the auto system (recently moved from Rust Console Edition to the proper PC version) and this worked a treat, took me about 10mins first attempt. Excellent guide, thanks Jfarr!

[@ChescoYT]

Jfarr your video production quality is A+ Thank you!

[@mr.boomguy]

This is a nice and simple tutorial setup, but I've got experience in electricity now, so In have a better suggestion. - First, if you're using electric furnaces, you might as well use a medium battery because you've techtree'd through it already - Second, if you're aiming for a large setup, begin to techtree into wind turbines, because I begin to find solar quite inreliable due to the equational. Idk if it's bad weather or the batteries don't charge up fast enough. Third, every component uses 1 power, do putting multiple branches are wasting energy. Instead, I would recommend to use splitters for a large setup. It will save you a lot of energy in the long run.

[@JfarrYT]

Thank you for the suggestions. I wanted to go through the step of using the existing battery to showcase how that's done along with using the root combiner. But a medium battery definitely would be a better solution for expanding later.

[@mr.boomguy]

@@JfarrYT Ok. I understand. Thank you for the reply

[@8oooomoooo8]

you can achieve the same goal without splitter and with one conveyor less, just need to adjust filters in a different way: Furnace -> chest 1 -> conv/filter to chest 2 -> chest 2 -> conv/filter to chest 3 -> chest 3. Nicely made video, very clear.

[@Credon59]

thanks Jfarr, always enjoy your videos.

I don't really play Rust that often anymore but these guides are so good that I have to watch them.

[@vincetru1113]

[@AKay-_-]

Just played a wipe where I had this set up but also linked the refinery. Great information.

[@vinslevrai]

hey it would be great to have a video on respawn times :D

[@badgeit45it17]

jfarr is a legend great content in every video

[@GeekGarageDK]

also you can use igniter to turn on any wood based furnace and a sprinkler to turn them off if needed

[@JfarrYT]

Great suggestion. Handy if you have a large system and don't want to keep going over and turning them back on or off.

[@swolobagins2276]

Pretty sure you only need a button and doesn't need power supply to. Coz button magically creates power while pressed

[@nicholass3892]

Use 4 conveyors in all. 1 for raw ores, 1 to supply wood, 1 for finish product and 1 for charcoal. First thing you need to set limits to your wood and raw ore. Wood should be limited to a max of 8 and ore to a max of 5, hqm 2. connect the filter pass of the raw ore conveyor to the turn on of the wood conveyor, connect the filter pass of the wood conveyor to a timer and set the timer to 0.25 connect the power out of the timer to the igniter. Take an AND switch and connect the filter fail of both the raw ore and finish product conveyors to it, use the output of the AND switch to the turn off of the wood conveyor. No need for sprinklers and it will not randomly turn off. sometimes you need to flush a system for it to start but thats on a rare occasion. As you drop raw ore into the drop box it will be pull via the raw ore conveyor and turn on the wood conveyor which in turn transfers the wood and ignites the furnaces. When there is no more raw ore and no more finish products to transfer the wood conveyor is shut off. I do this all the time cause Im really lazy.

[@thebigbonk]

@@nicholass3892 if you are going to make a setup that complex, just use electric furnaces, if you need any charcoal just setup a few furnaces with a wood in and charcoal out box, it works well to have this in a compound if you have one and then you wont have to waste wood, only spend it when you need charcoal

[@thebigbonk]

an igniter also turns on electric furnaces

[@SavXBL]

Cheers ToddynhoRJ and happy to hear you think that :)

[@ArmoredsoldierCZ]

I didnt know you can link the furnaces like that. Thanks for showing us. But honestly, i would make it that when the furnaces dont receive anything, then the furnaces would automaticaly turn off. Most easiest probably would it be by connecting furnaces output into aditional small chest input and from that chest sort it all, then make that conveyor shut all furnaces off. Probably with OR switch or timer, basically anything that would help get more power to the shut off connectors (since electricity you get from pass fail is only 1). I havent built this system yet, but im going to. I started like playing with the electric things and this month i built button/transmitter activated timed garage door that automatically closes after certain time with alarm to warn you that the doors are gonna be closing with 2 white lights and 2 red lights. I basically tried to replicate how certain buses have their lights for lighting up the space and for warning you to not be at the doors when closing. Next im thinking if im gonna make like fully automatic ´´freight´´ elevator or something else. Its mostly so i learn how can i use every type of electric component this game has. Not for PVP purposes tho, because im PVE player. Im just so bad at PVP and most importantly i usualy dont have time or mood 24/7 to play this game, so please, dont spam me with hate comments for being PVE player.

[@PigsxArexAwesome]

I have been using a chest with a convayer into my electrical furnaces, then back into the same chest for compact basses

[@twentysheds___5967]

Another well made video, however I would either build a much simpler setup or go all out with auto ignition and wire it up more efficiently.

[@RanDom-if2ee]

Thanks!

[@JfarrYT]

Cheers legend, always happy to help :)

[@bigd6326]

The following config will save you 1 power / 3 furnaces: 1 e-branch -> branch 10 power -> 1 splitter -> 3 e-furnaces. Use the power out on the e-branch to add the next 3 e-furnaces.

[@JfarrYT]

Cheers for sharing. A splitter is definitely the way to go when scaling up with multiple furnaces.

[@jimraynor3132]

Rust is starting to turn into satisfactory

[@Gegi1992]

Wouldnt it make more sense to put the switch before anything else? The way this was set up the conveyors drain the battery even if the furnaces are not running.

[@lucasbotha3087]

very helpfull

[@Steve-tk6xv]

Can you do one system where everything goes into one box (Let's say a drop box) then gets sorted based on which item it is to be smelted, stored, or recycled? So my ore would go from dropbox --> big box A --> furnaces --> storage (when main storage is full everything will start transferring to) --> excess storage Guns, ammo, hazzys, meds, cloth that are deposited in that same dropbox would go from dropbox ---> big box B ---> locker ---> locker ---> locker (when lockers are full it will continue to transfer to ---> excess storage. All other items would go from dropbox---> big box C---> excess storage (to be researched, used, recycled) Is this possible in one system? or would it have to be multiple dropboxes leading to each different one and then I would have to remember put ore in the top dropbox. Put guns and ammo in the middle dropbox and put everything else in the bottom dropbox?

[@moneyninja3852]

Time not considered, is it just as efficient make charcoal with the Oil Refinery as with the normal furnaces? I don't have unlimited resources and I really want the most charcoal possible. Thanks

[@Lee___H]

Your first conveyer doesn't need filtering, it will only process and pull items that go into a furnace. Button to igniter above any furnace will turn them all on at once without needing power

[@JfarrYT]

Was mainly included to allow you to disable one resource from the filtering if you would like to easily fill your furnaces with a particular resource. Also, provides a bit of peace of mind that there isn't an item you can accidently put into the dump chest and it be sucked up and dumped into one of the furnaces.

[@Lee___H]

@@JfarrYT there only really 3 items a furnace creates and they are what you want unless you know of a 4th that bricks the automation that I've never seen yet?

Could not for the life of me figure out how to get the powering on with the switch to work but got everything else lol

I always want to do industrial :D but I suck at the game so much :D I don't even have scrap for normal items :D or worse, unable to farm resources :D

[@stevendavis5112]

I run my e-furnaces in sets of 9 on a square half wall shelf

[@stevendavis5112]

Power to a branch. First/left terminal to conveyers. Second/right to a splitter. Splitter to 3 more splitters. Splitters to furnaces. If stacked in nicely they fit on a square foundation with a half wall shelf either above or below them. Place boxes. Place first/ back row and connect to input conveyer. Connect to next 2 furnaces . Place first furnace of the next row and connect to previous row. Place the rest of that row and connect. Repeat same 3rd row same as second. Connect last furnace to either an industrial splitter or a conveyer. A simple in and out of this setup is 34 power with 9 furnaces. ⭐️Important note Turn on ech row before placing the next

[@JfarrYT]

@@stevendavis5112 Thank you for sharing this. Always great to see how different everyone's setups are.

Yah console don't have this I'm just glad game is on console it's so fun to build and kill get to close to my base and I pull trigger wich opens doors full of turrest I got raided because of that they were being nosie up on my front door Alarm goes off he gets scared backs up into my land mine and so I had no idea his friend was their looting his body right after so their were 2 I pushed button door opens my turretgoes off boom dead both dead stay away I'm home so they raided me days later and called me admin no I'm not admin

@@JfarrYT I'd love to! Do you have a discord I could share a screen to? I can also try to explain it here if you'd like, but it could get long. What do you say?

[@JfarrYT]

@@AVMMM I won't be able to call as I'm heading off to work. Just a summary in the comments would be preferred so others can learn from it as well :)

[@i_be_eternity]

@@JfarrYT use splitters instead of just electrical branches. Much cheaper on power. You can power 3 electric furnaces off one electrical branch this way.

[@AVMMM]

@@JfarrYT OK, great. So here's what you want to do: First of all, your end/target boxes could overflow, so what you ought to be doing is to funnel all your furnaces output into a large box first, using an industrial conveyor. Just for the sake of orientation, the conveyor leading from the furnaces to the separation box is going to be called conveyor B, and the conveyor that leads from your dropbox to the furnaces is going to be called Conveyor A! Now, what you're supposed to have is a system that sends material from a dropbox to the furnaces, and takes the output from all the furnaces to a collective Dropbox, from which 3 other different conveyors could pull materials to boxes for as long as there's room for them. If the sorted boxes are full, at least you'll have a compensation system of storage. Now here's the good part; You need to make an additional two AND switches! To understand what I'm going to do, let's assume you're going to have 3 furnaces only (if you'll have more you'll still be able to pull this off but with an expanded system, let's just stick to 3 for the sake of the example). You pull power from the "Filter pass" jack of conveyor A (which is free power) and plug it to one of the input jacks of your first AND switch (we can call it A as well). The output of AND A switch goes to a splitter, which splits 1 power to each "turn on" jack of every furnace. Give AND A second jack 4 power as well. Once you've done that, the furnaces will turn on as soon as you drop materials in your dropbox. We are going to repeat this process with AND switch B, only this time we'll be plugging the "Turn off" jacks on each furnace, to AND B by using a splitter, and don't forget that this time we are using conveyor B, and we plug AND B to 4 power, and the "Filter fail" jack from conveyor B. What you have created now is a system that will automatically turn itself on and off, depending on if it has work to do or not! You are saving a LOT of power that way, and you don't need to do a lot. Just head outside, grub your ore, throw them into your dropbox, and repeat. Let me know if you have any questions, LOVE your channel!
