Is there supposed to be mass crafting type material discounts when using a furnace?
I ask the question as it would seem logical it should do it as you do get Mass crafting material discounts on all other machines and the boundless crafting website as an example on copper bars lists 3 options with the largest deposit of 36 copper ore to make 50 copper bars.
This in game does not work though, I tried 72 ore just in case but only 72 bars output.
Was it something that was in the game before release, is it more likely the crafting website error [in which case how many others have qty errors on the site :(] or is it possibly a game bug.?
I fgured it might be skill releated but do not see anything to suggest a mass craft type bonus on the Furnace
Cooking in furnace is not affected by mass crafting and never (as far as i know) was.
Edit:
Yes, it can be explained as omission when processing game files while generating source data for web page… But its way easier to say “website error”
You can get a similar type of effect upgrading the furnace type and using better fuels. In terms of saving resources, particularly fuels, as a better furnace is more efficient and better fuels provide more heat and cook faster. So while you dont get more of the resource youre making, you essentially double and triple your coal or fuel you use in essence by it being able to craft more from a single unit
Could have sworn fuel makes faster speeds and furnace makes more efficient fuels. Then you can go further getting the fuel saving epic whichever it is to save 30% more
