Cold Blast Furnace Core
Starts the Cold blast furnace.
Place the core first, then ctrl plus shift plus right-click it to raise the build outline of the Cold blast furnace and its shopping list; the rest of the furnace is laid around it. Its side variant fixes which way the furnace faces and the layout turns with it, so place a core that already faces the way the furnace should, and it wears the refractory tier it was crafted from. Once the structure is complete the core is the block to look at: it reports the state, the heat balance against iron's melting point, an air-starved or chilled fire, and how long a dying furnace has left.
