An '''Arc Furnace II''' is a direct upgrade from the [[Arc Furnace]] machine. It carries twice the already-hefty [[Worker]] and [[Electricity]] requirement in addition to [[Water]], some of which can be recovered by passing the byproduct [[Steam Hi]] through [[Cooling Tower]]s. In exchange, it doubles throughput of [[Silicon]] smelting.  
An '''Arc Furnace II''' is a direct upgrade from the [[Arc Furnace]] machine. It carries a 50% higher {{infoicon|Worker|ui-yes}} and a 83% higher {{infoicon|Electricity}} requirement in addition to {{infoicon|Water}}, some of which can be recovered by passing the byproduct {{infoicon|Steam Lo}} through [[Cooling Tower]]s. In exchange, it doubles throughput of {{infoicon|Silicon (Poly)|text=Silicon}} smelting without increasing the need for {{infoicon|Coal}} or {{infoicon|Graphite}}.  


Additionally, it incorporates smelting recipes for [[Iron Ore Crushed]], [[Copper Ore Crushed]], and [[Glass Mix]] similar to those available in the [[Blast Furnace II]] which make it possible to replace all Blast Furnace II machines on the island. Notable differences between these recipes are that the Arc Furnace II requires a small amount of [[Graphite]] instead of a large amount of [[Coal]]. This change reduces the overall Coal requirement drastically for smelting Iron or Copper by 87.5% (12 /60s vs 1.5 /60s) and for smelting Glass by 90% (15 /60s vs 1.5 /60s). Both recipes also produce 50% less [[Exhaust]] per unit produced.
Additionally, it incorporates smelting recipes for {{infoicon|Iron Ore Crushed}}, {{infoicon|Copper Ore Crushed}}, and {{infoicon|Glass Mix}} similar to those available in the [[Blast Furnace II]] which make it possible to replace all Blast Furnace II machines on the island. These recipes switch 15 Coal for 6 Water and 3 Graphite (plus 4 Tflop and 5.5 MW power consumption), whilst generating 6 Steam Lo and reducing {{infoicon|Exhaust}} output by 24/min. Assuming that all Graphite is made from Coal and {{infoicon|Chlorine}}, this amounts to a 90% reduction in Coal usage.


==Recipes==
While {{variants|Nuclear Reactor}} or {{variants|Solar Panel}}, are strongly recommended for powering the Arc Furnace II, [[Boiler (Coal)]] is still a viable option. Even with coal power, overall Coal usage still drops by 16.7-25.0% relative to a Blast Furnace II, depending on how efficiently the {{infoicon|Steam Lo}} byproduct is used. Similarly, Exhaust drops by 2.0-4.5 per furnace.

An Arc Furnace II is a direct upgrade from the Arc Furnace machine. It carries a 50% higher Worker and a 83% higher Electricity requirement in addition to Water, some of which can be recovered by passing the byproduct Steam (Low) through Cooling Towers. In exchange, it doubles throughput of Silicon smelting without increasing the need for Coal or Graphite.

Additionally, it incorporates smelting recipes for Iron Ore Crushed, Copper Ore Crushed, and Glass Mix similar to those available in the Blast Furnace II which make it possible to replace all Blast Furnace II machines on the island. These recipes switch 15 Coal for 6 Water and 3 Graphite (plus 4 Tflop and 5.5 MW power consumption), whilst generating 6 Steam Lo and reducing Exhaust output by 24/min. Assuming that all Graphite is made from Coal and Chlorine, this amounts to a 90% reduction in Coal usage.

While Nuclear Reactor [IIFBR] or Solar Panel [Mono], are strongly recommended for powering the Arc Furnace II, Boiler (Coal) is still a viable option. Even with coal power, overall Coal usage still drops by 16.7-25.0% relative to a Blast Furnace II, depending on how efficiently the Steam (Low) byproduct is used. Similarly, Exhaust drops by 2.0-4.5 per furnace.
