The 
Basic Refinery is a cheaper, entry-level version of the 
Refinery block. This Production block is able to smelt 
Iron Ore and, as of v1.052, 
Nickel Ore, 
Cobalt Ore, 
Silicon Ore, 
Magnesium Ore, and 
Stone.
This block used to be called Arc Furnace.
Placement[]
The Basic Refinery can only be built on large grids. It is 1/8th the size of the regular refinery, having a 1x1x2 footprint rather than 2x2x4 blocks.
Unlike the larger and more expensive Refinery it has no attachment ports allowing it to be upgraded. A fully specialized Refinery is superior to the Basic Refinery for all specializations except physical space and resources to construct.
Another draw back of this smaller refinery is that it only has 2 conveyor ports.
