Compass Furnace

Cast three compass alloys by matching the shown heat recipe exactly. A directional spark adds TWO heat to that arm and ONE to its clockwise neighbor, while cooling the opposite arm by one. Any arm above 3 overheats. Rotate moves all stored heat clockwise; Vent cools every arm by one. Cast when current/target values match. Heat carries into the next recipe, so reuse it rather than starting over.
