Electric Furnace
An electrical version of a furnace that uses electricity instead of a fuel source.
Crafting one takes 5× High Quality Metal, 200× Metal Fragments at a Workbench Lvl 2. A recycler breaks one down into High Quality Metal, Metal Fragments. 9 skins exist for it, topped by Popstar Electric Furnace.
How to Get an Electric Furnace in Rust
5× High Quality Metal + 200× Metal Fragments → Electric Furnace (Workbench Lvl 2, 30s)
The Electric Furnace is craftable at a Workbench Level 2 once researched — the blueprint costs 30 scrap to research or unlock through the tech tree. Crafting one costs High Quality Metal and Metal Fragments, and takes 25 seconds.
Or skip crafting it entirely
It's also common loot in Military Crates, Elite Crates and Locked Crates, so if you're already running monuments for other gear, keep an eye out — finding one saves the HQM and the blueprint unlock outright.
Why bother over a regular furnace
It runs on electricity instead of Low Grade Fuel, which matters if you've already got a generator or solar panels set up and would rather not babysit fuel — the tradeoff is it needs a power connection and a bit more base-planning to place well.
