I haven't even downloaded it but thank you
I will make a guide for this game down the line, but honestly the best thing you could do is look at the itch.io page for tips the dev listed. Experimenting also helps that's how I learned a lot of stuff when I played the old Gain Factory and I'm doing that again with the new mechanics and objects
I wasn't gonna add an electric furnace that turned smelting into just another crafting process. The benefit to the arc furnace is that it doesn't consume fuel, so for recipes that use fuel as an ingredient it simplifies the setup. If you have an automatic graphene setup, it can supply a large number of furnaces. The speed boost also makes it so that fewer furnaces need to be set up.
I wanted the arc furnace to be a late game thing that is useful once you set it up, but that takes some effort to get running. I didn't want the arc furnace to simply replace the oven.
You need to blow up honeycomb using a nuke to turn it into graphene. Nukes can't be automated using the press but they can be automated using rockets and silos.
The cryo generator need a logic component at its source to be active. You can put a logic switch where its orange arrow is and click on the switch to turn it on.
