Brick Oven
The Brick Oven is a major feature of New Frontier Craft, and one of the most important.
Each recipe requires a different amount of time to cook in the Brick Oven, and each unit of fuel powers the Oven for 5 seconds. So as opposed to the Furnace where each recipe just requires 10 seconds of cooking, recipes in the Brick Oven can take anywhere from 5 seconds (Stained Glass) to over 5 minutes (Steel).
The Oven is crafted out of 8 fired brick blocks, which are created by cooking brick blocks in a furnace to make Fired Bricks. Then, in a crafting table, form the eight fired brick blocks into a square like you would with cobblestone for a normal furnace.
The Brick Furnace has two systems, alloy smelting, and the smelting of the high melting point metals of Titanium, Tungsten, and Osmium.
The Brick Furnace has two systems, alloy smelting, and the smelting of the high melting point metals of Titanium, Tungsten, and Osmium.
- Alloy Smelting works by putting the right ratio of two materials with one another in the smelting grid, and when you get it right it'll immediately start smelting with the fuel in the oven. These recipes are shapeless.
- High melting point ores require the Brick Oven to be smelted. These cannot be smelted in the Furnace, and can only be smelted one at a time in the Brick Oven.
In v3.5, a third system of shaped smelting will be added for certain recipes, like cake.

Trivia
- Under the current system, Stained Glass is considered an alloy
- The first unfinished and unimplemented iteration of the Brick Oven was called the Mallergy Furnace
Future Ideas
- Pizza (and just in general making the Oven a place to bake food)
- A dynamic heat system, reminiscent of the one from TerraFirmaCraft, changing the Brick Oven from being purely time based to time and heat based.
