Rustexa tools

Smelting Calculator

Tell Rustexa what ore you have and how many slots you are using. It works out what comes out, how long it takes, and exactly how to fill the furnace to finish soonest.

10s each → 10 Metal Fragments

0.7s each → 1 Jar of Honey

How many slots are you using?

up to 30

Your smelt

Nothing in the furnace

Add some ore and Rustexa will time the whole smelt instantly.

Data & sources

What Rustexa will not tell you

  • How much wood a furnace burns per second, and therefore the exact wood cost of a smelt.
  • How much charcoal you get back per wood burned.
  • How many slots each furnace has — you tell Rustexa how many you are using.

Nobody publishes those numbers anywhere Rustexa can check, so it leaves them blank rather than inventing them.
