Electric Furnaces

##Description This mod adds an electric boiler, electric versions of the stone and steel furnaces (which can fast-replace the existing ones), and level 2 and 3 versions of the electric furnace, with faster smelting speeds and more module slots. New research to unlock the higher tiers of electric furnace is also added.

###Electric stone furnace

• Available from game start.
• Smelting speed: 1
• Power consumption: 90 kW
• Pollution: 1 per minute (2.5 including boiler emissions)

###Electric steel furnace

• Unlocked by researching Advanced material processing.
• Smelting speed: 2
• Power consumption: 180 kW
• Pollution: 2 per minute (5 including boiler emissions)

###Electric Furnace 1 (unmodified from base game)

• Unlocked by researching Advanced material processing 2.
• Smelting speed: 2
• Module slots: 2
• Power consumption: 180 kW
• Pollution: 1 per minute (4 including boiler emissions)

###Electric furnace 2

• Unlocked by researching Advanced material processing 3.
• Smelting speed: 3
• Module slots: 2
• Power consumption: 180 kW
• Pollution: 1 per minute (4 including boiler emissions)

###Electric furnace 3

• Unlocked by researching Advanced material processing 4.
• Smelting speed: 4
• Module slots: 4
• Power consumption: 240 kW
• Pollution: 1 per minute (5 including boiler emissions)

###Electric boiler Available from game start. Requires 900 kW to run at full speed, produces 900 kW of steam. While you could conceivably use this as part of a solar/stored-steam setup, its intended function is to provide an alternative source of steam for any recipe that requires it (coal liquefaction, for example).
