The Redstone Furnace is an efficient automated Furnace used to smelt pulverized metal (dust) into Ingots and also used for other materials not accepted by the Induction Smelter. Quantities of this catalyst are limited so it is recommended to focus it's use to producing hard to find materials such as: It also produces 3 Metal Ingots from an Ore and 3 Ore from a Nether Ore. This catalyst has the ability to produce a secondary Ingot at a 100% ratio. It is recommended to use a second Pulverizer fed with Cobblestone to provided a constant supply of Sand to the Induction Smelter (Gravel must be sent off separately) It is the catalyst used to produce Rich Slag from most Ore (unless listed in other sections) at a 10% ratio. Produces 2 Metal Ingots from an Ore and 2 Ores from a Nether Ore. The Induction Smelter is particularly recommended for the following Ores, listed by catalyst used: This Machine is very power efficient since it smelts the Ore directly into Ingots.Īn advanced Ore processing facility will use at least 3 of these Machines, one for each main catalyst (there are several speciality catalysts not covered here). Power usage varies depending on the catalyst and the material smelted, but usually uses 3,200 RF for Ores with Sand. This Machine uses a catalyst to enhance the smelting process and also has the potential to produce Rich Slag, a secondary metal Ingot or Slag depending on the catalyst used. The Pulverizer is particularly recommended for the following Ore : The Dust may be used directly in some recipes or Smelted into Ingots using the Redstone Furnace. Power usage varies depending on the material pulverized, but usually uses 4,000 RF for Ores. It also has the potential of producing a secondary product. The Pulverizer turns one Ore into two dust (pulverized metal). These Machines are also used for several other purposes not covered here. The list of Ore and other Items that may be processed by each machine is quite extensive (and will vary with Modpacks), so it's recommended to browse the in-game recipe list by 'Clicking' on the arrow in the Machine to view all the potential recipes, results and amounts. Furthermore the Machines have built in output pumps that ejects to transport systems and may be placed directly next to each other as long as the sides are properly configured. Primary and Secondary Input and/or Output may be combined. These Machines are optimized for automation as the sides are easily configured using a simple colour-coded system. A buffer inventory in the form of a chest and Hopper to feed the Machines will avoid stuffing the Itemduct or clogging up a BC Pipe system. Thermal Expansion offers an easy to build processing system, the machines are the easiest to configure and automate. Using Itemduct to transport materials to Machines is ideal, preferably Opaque to reduce lag. An easily expandable set-up for this is a double row of Workbench with Hoppers underneath and a row of Itemduct in between, the Itemduct will deliver the Ingots to the appropriate Workbench and the hoppers pass on to each other the resulting Blocks to an Itemduct. Optionally, a Player may want to automate crafting Ingots into Blocks using Auto Workbenchs to reduce the amount of storage needed. When setting up an Ore Processing Facility allow ample space for each machines to avoid cramped areas, especially when using BC Transport Pipes. To transport Items from the dig site to be processed, consider using a Tesseract, a railway system or even Steve's Factory Manager amongst many possibilities. ![]() This will avoid stuffing the Itemducts and reduce lag especially when using a transparent transport system. Whatever the Mod a Player chooses to use to build his Facility, the first step is to set up a diversion for unwanted items such as Dirt and Cobblestone using chests or other storage with an overflow to a Void Transport Pipe or Trash Can. Using automated ore processing machines increases the ratio of Ore to Ingot and/ or speed up the process. A typical automated system will easily handle the influx of materials sent from an Automated Miner. ![]() Although some Mods are easier to automate than others, automation is most commonly done with Itemducts, BuildCraft pipes and sometimes RedPower 2 tubes. This Tutorial is a synopsis on how to get started building an Automated Ore Processing Facility using machines and transport systems from popular Mods.
