/// SUPPORTED THIRD-PARTY PLUGIN

Quick Smelt

Free guide for configuring this third-party plugin in the Hub. Install the plugin separately from its official source.

Prepare your file

  1. Check the installed version

    This guide describes Quick Smelt 5.1.5. Use the same version in the configurator.

  2. Import your configuration

    Open the configurator and import your current JSON. For a new installation, you can start from the provided example.

  3. Edit and download

    Adjust the settings, fix reported errors, and download the JSON. Keep a copy of your old file before replacing it.

Your configuration is not saved on the site. Keep the exported file; you can import it again later.

Plugin instructions

Quick Smelt 5.1.5

Quick Smelt changes furnace processing speed, fuel use, output, and accepted inputs. It has no required plugin dependency and runs on Oxide. When Use Permission is true, grant quicksmelt.use to the players whose furnaces should use these rules.

Configuration

  • Speed Multipliers changes how frequently each oven processes items. Fuel Usage Speed Multipliers changes how fast fuel burns, while Fuel Usage Multipliers changes the amount consumed.
  • Output Multipliers is a two-level dynamic map: oven shortname, then output item shortname. global can act as a fallback at either level.
  • Whitelist and Blacklist are dynamic oven maps containing input item shortnames, not output items. Review overlaps deliberately.
  • Smelting Frequencies (Smelt items every N smelting ticks) processes items every Nth smelting tick; larger values make processing slower and less frequent.
  • Debug enables diagnostic logging and should normally remain false.

All maps are intentionally lossless JSON because server owners replace placeholder keys such as furnace.shortname and item.shortname with arbitrary Rust shortnames (furnace, furnace.large, campfire, and so on). The pinned source does not validate multiplier signs or frequency bounds. Zero, negative, or extreme multipliers/frequencies can cause broken balance, excessive production, unexpected fuel behavior, or runtime arithmetic problems; test a complete ruleset off production.
