This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
In order to complete the IC2 tech tree, you will need at least tens of hours of gameplay. Don't expect that you can complete everything within a single day.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, an iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Iron Plate<br />

{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Copper|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Cutter<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />

|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />

|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br />
[[File:solarflowertop.png|400px| link=|left]]<br />
[[File:solarflowerbottom.png|400px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/><br />
<center>''To provide a significant amount of EU from the sun, you'll need a lot of Solar Panels. If you want more advanced solar panels, or ones that work without sun, get the Advanced Solar Panels addon. This can be found on the IC2 forum.<br />
''</center><br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Second Steps ==<br />
<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />

|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). You can also refer to [https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Nether_survival the guide on Minecraft Wiki] or skip this part if you are experienced.<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, it is recommended to create a copy of your world when you are ready to go into nether. In the copy switch to creative mode and enter the nether, so that you can get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go find the closest lava lake. Have an idea of how you can get there, for instance by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, jump into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, or when a player have come into the region not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them to craft Nether brick fences as your blast proof windows in the nether base. Craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE battery to power the pump. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a grey hole texture facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU! Be careful not to drop the pump in lava when moving it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[Charging RE Battery]]. The Charging RE Battery have 3 modes, which can be changed by right-clicking it when holding it in your hand. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*16 Redstone Dusts<br />
*10 Tin Ingots<br />
*8 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />

<br />
Walking around with 40,000 EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced Charging Battery]]! A single one of them can carry 400,000 EU, ten times that of the Charging RE Battery!<br />

=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Steel]]. You can make Steel by heating Iron in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get Steel from Iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to Steel. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]] in the future. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of steel (and slag), so you need to build it early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. In this tutorial we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils to heat up the blast furnace faster, or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]] which consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU as the heat source instead .<br />
<br />
Material list with an Electric Heat Generator and a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. Remember to avoid the blast furnace stop working for whatever reason. You will need a lot of its products later.<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything in your ENTIRE E-NET''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might accidentally power it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful! Frequent backing up your world is recommended if possible.<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage block]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />

Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />

Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== Distilled water ===<br />
<br />
This section is mainly for the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]] that will be introduced in the next section. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need distilled water.<br />
<br />
Distilled water can be obtained in two ways. One is to use the [[Solar Distiller]], and the other is to use the [[Steam Boiler]], [[Steam Turbine]] and the [[Condenser]]. The Solar Distiller needs less materials and no EU to run, but it is slower and depends on the sun. The steam setup needs more materials and EU, but it is much faster. The Solar Distiller will be introduced here.<br />
<br />
Materials needed (1 Solar Distiller):<br />
* 11 Glass<br />
* 8 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass |B1=Glass |C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Glass |B2= |C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Universal Fluid Cell |B3=Machine |C3=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Output=Solar_Distiller<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To put water in it, you can shift-click the block holding universal fluid cells that contain water, or you can put water fluid cells into it. The left tank is the water tank, and the right tank is the output tank. Slots on the top-right corner are for upgrades. To get distilled water out, you can either use an upgrade, or put fluid cells in it again.<br />
<br />
The Solar Distiller is very slow, so it is suggested to craft multiple of them.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
This section is also needed to craft the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]]. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need the [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]].<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to enrich fluids on "Fluid enrich Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*9 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />

<br />
Side affect: applying Overclocker Upgrade(s) causes your machine to use more EU to process a single item. They can be stacked in machines. The effects of them are depended on the total amount of them in a machine.<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />

The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />

Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />

<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />

=== Basic Automation ===<br />
<br />
Now that your machines are working, you probably want to save some labor like putting universal fluid cells filled with air into the blast furnace over and ''over'' and '''over''' again. Also, sometimes you want to process a lot of different items. You just wait there for the machine to do its work? NO! Set up some hoppers and stuff to get things going automatically! Here are some pictures of examples on how to do so. Of course you could create your own designs. However, automating stuff, which just makes your life easier, is always optional.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_1.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This is a screenshot of a survival world that is played in for about 16 real life hours. On the left you can see some geothermal generators and some hoppers providing power for everything. Hoppers can averagely spread the lava fluid cells that was put into the top chest, and put the empty fluid cells into the bottom chest. There are upgrades in the metal former, pulling items in from the top chest and ejecting items to the chest behind. The metal former is a pretty slow machine, and these chests really helps when you need to process a bunch of iron and tin into plates / casings... Just don't forget to change modes when using this. On the right side you can see a macerator and a working ore washing plant. The macerator pulls items from the chest next to the macerator, and ejects items to the top chest. The ore washing plant has a default pulling upgrade on the first slot, an ejector upgrade set to eject towards to the pump on the second slot, and an ejector upgrade set to eject towards the top chest on the third slot. There is a single fluid cell in the pump/ore washing plant, which makes the ore washing plant automatically fill up with water, while the upgrade arrangement in the machine avoids the fluid cell to be ejected to the top chest.<br />

Hoppers were used here, but you can also use upgrades. You can also see the blast furnace and the electric heater, being next to the double chest that has 2 hoppers below it. Notice that the electric heater is the one that has a cable connected to it.<br />

<br />
In this screenshot you can see the self-detecting dropper that is responsible to send items, in this case the empty universal fluid cell up to the double chest. To the right side, there are 2 hopper filters under the double chest, which is the output chest for the blast furnace. One is to filter out the empty universal fluid cell, and the other one is to filter out the steel ingot, which is not necessary. Slag is left in the double chest.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is another screenshot of the automatic blast furnace system. The blast furnace is behind the compressor, with the compressor being set to eject towards the blast furnace, and the blast furnace set to eject towards the double chest. If you directly set the blast furnace to eject towards the compressor, steel will also end up in the compressor as it can be compressed into Steel Blocks. That's why a vanilla hopper filter is used to do that job.<br />

<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with relatively high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the wind turbine, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, crafted like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Kinetic Wind Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator has a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />

<br />
=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
Now that you have got your Electric Jetpack, you can now fly up to avoid creeper explosions! But don't forget to charge it.<br />
<br />
==<big>The Way to Industry</big> ==<br />
<br />
=== Automated Mining: The Miner ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD Scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|A2=Iron Plate|A3=Iron Plate<br />
|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=Gold Casing<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced RE-Battery|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=OD Scanner}}<br />
<br />
If you have diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*11 Redstone Dusts<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Gold Ingots<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 OD Scanner<br />
<br />
You need to craft 1 [[Energy Crystal]]. This recipe should be remembered.<br />
<br />

|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=OD Scanner|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Bigger Portable Batteries ===<br />
<br />
The miner use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to put in more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged [[Charging RE Battery|Chargin RE Batteries]], and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

=== Advanced Alloy ===<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

You can also make [[Reinforced Glass]], which is more Creeper-resistant than normal Glass:<br />

=== Synthetic Diamonds ===<br />
<br />
Having trouble finding all of those diamonds? You can use the [[Compressor]] to convert all of that coal you have been hoarding into diamonds! HAYO!<br />
<br />

<br />
As it can be inferred from the recipes, crafting 1 diamond requires 64 coal dust, 8 flint, one obsidian/bricks/iron block and some EU. Bricks is recommended as it's made from clay, found in relatively great abundance in riverbeds. <br />
<br />
=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*10 Redstone Dusts<br />
*7 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Bronze Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|C1=Energy Crystal|C3=Advanced Alloy|C2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Although you have crafted the [[Mining Laser]], it can't be charged it yet, which requires the MFE Unit, which needs 16 Diamonds. If you don't have that many diamonds but you have 5 stacks of slag, it is recommended to craft the [[Thermal Centrifuge]] first, which needs the Mining Laser, and you can get coal dust out of slag by processing it in the Thermal Centrifuge, and you can use the coal dust to craft diamonds needed for another Mining Laser and the MFE again. <br />
<br />
The Mining Laser have different firing modes. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click''' (under default controls). The firing modes can be found [[Mining Laser|here]].<br />
<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mode. However, if you want to mine fast, use the 3x3 mode or scatter mode.<br />
<br />
Note: Explosive mode can inflict serious damage on entities.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has uses besides processing ores and slag. It can be used to process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*20 Iron Ingots<br />
*16 Coal Dusts<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Steel Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />

=== HV Era: The MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player <s>unless you're producing UUM</s>.<br />
<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, 4 gold cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times, and finally charge your mining laser.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Steel Rotors ===<br />
<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Steel Rotors for the Wind Turbine (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. All rotors eventually wear out, but replacing your wooden rotors with steel rotors give a large buff to your wind generators.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Block Cutting Machine ===<br />
<br />
Yes, you heard it right. This magical machine that can cut blocks into plates, logs into ''more'' planks and planks into ''more'' sticks! <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Steel Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Tin Ingot<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B2=Basic Machine Casing<br />

}}<br />
<br />
The Block Cutting Machine is '''entirely useless''' without a blade in it. There are Iron blades, Steel blades and the Diamond blade. Steel blade is good enough for almost all purposes, with an exception of Steel blocks. If you have a lot of diamonds, you can also craft the diamond blade, but it is not recommended unless you need a lot of steel plates.<br />

<br />
Finally, you don't have to wait for the Metal Former <s>''that sucks at making plates''</s> to do its <s>stupid</s> thing! HOORAY!<br />
<br />
=== Nano Suit ===<br />
<br />
Your armor is wearing out? There are the EU-based armors! Actually, there are two types of it: the [[Nano Suit]] and the [[Quantum Suit]]. The Quantum Suit is unaffordable now, thus we will craft the nano suit. As you should be wearing the [[Electric Jetpack]], we won't craft the [[Nano-Bodyarmor]] now, but it is needed to craft the [[Quantum-Bodyarmor]] later. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: ''(without the bodyarmor)''<br />
* 112 Coal Dust<br />
* 41 Copper Ingots<br />
* 37 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 16 Tin Ingots<br />
* 15 Iron Ingots<br />
* '''12 Diamonds'''<br />
* 12 Glass<br />
* 10 Lapis Lazuli<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Lead Ingot<br />
* 1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
It needs lot of materials, huh? Now comes '''more''' crafting! <br />

=== More powerful generators ===<br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== IC2 Agriculture ===<br />
<br />
While your advanced miner is slowly mining ores, you can consider cross-breeding crops to get a better yield. More information about this is in [[Tutorial:Crops_and_Cross-Breeding|another tutorial]].<br />

<br />
Note: this section "DAWN OF THE EXTREME VOLTAGE: MFSU" is unfinished. Please help if you can. Apologies for the inconvenience. <br />
<br />

<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />

|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />

|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To craft one, you will need energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device without addons! The MFSU will output EV(Extreme Voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the [[HV-Transformer]]!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=MV-Transformer|C2=Advanced RE-Battery<br />
|B3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=HV-Transformer}}<br />
<br />
Place the HV Transformer with the five-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the MV Transformer or your MFE. This way it will "step-down" the extreme voltage to high voltage.<br />
<br />
=== Replication ===<br />
<br />
There is a [[Tutorial:Replication|separate tutorial]] about replication.<br />
<br />
=== Quantum Suit ===<br />
<br />
Once you've replicated enough [[Iridium]], you can craft the quantum suit. <br />
<br />
''unfinished, please refer to [[QuantumSuit Bodyarmor]] for information.''<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />

Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />

<br />
== Disclamer ==<br />
Before reading this tutorial, you need to be informed that the damage of an exploded reactor is often exaggerated here and a properly designed nuclear reactor in IC2 is completely safe even to put inside your home (unless someone messed up the components inside). <br />
<br />
== Nuclear Physics 101 ==<br />
<br />
Welcome, to the Industrial Craft School of Nuclear-arity!<br><br />
Here, we shall give some tips and tricks to avoid turning your '''shiny new home''' into a '''melted slag heap'''!<br />
<br />
=== Further Reading ===<br />
Nuclear reactors are very valuable, have enormous energy-producing potential, and without a doubt have a steep learning curve.<br />
<br />
A complete breakdown of how each reactor component works is available on [http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=446 the IC2 forum], or on the [[Nuclear Reactor]] page of the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Step 1: Finding [[Uranium_Ore|Uranium Ore]] ===<br />
[[file:Uranium_ore.png |200x200px| link=|right]]<br />
There is no easy way to find Uranium Ore short of mining, mining, mining. It appears randomly in '''very''' small veins, and has been seen on the surface at sea level. It also appears rarely in the walls of caverns. It must be mined with an Iron or better Pickaxe.<br />
<br />
=== Step 2: My First Reactor(tm) ===<br />
<br />
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster Chernobyl-4] [[Nuclear Reactor]] is expensive to build, relying as it does on hard-to-obtain elements like Glowstone and [[Dense Lead Plate]]s. Don't expect to build one in your first week.<br />
<br />
If you think you have the material to make one, then let's do it!<br />
<br />
Advanced materials you will need:<br />
<br />
*1 [[Advanced Circuit]]<br />
*1 [[Generator]]<br />
*3 [[Reactor Chamber|Reactor Chambers]]<br />
<br />
Wait... what? Reactor chambers? What on Earth? <br />
It's the core of the nuclear reactor, containing all your precious reactor components and fuel. <br />
Well, hopefully containing it... more on that later.<br />
<br />
First you'll need 12 [[Lead Plate]]s for the Reactor Chambers.<br />
You can then use these to build your 3 Reactor Chambers:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Lead Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Lead Plate|B2=Machine|C2=Lead Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Lead Plate|C3=<br />

}}<br />
Almost there! <br />

|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Lead Plate|IA=9<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Dense Lead Plate<br />
}}<br />
*Note: You have to Compress 9 Lead at once.<br />
<br />
Using the Generator, Advanced Circuit, some Dense Lead Plates and your new Reactor Chambers, craft the wonder that is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster Chernobyl-4 Nuclear Reactor]:<br />

<br />
Congratulations! World Domination is a step closer to reality!<br />
<br />
=== Step 3: Finding Your [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident 3-Mile Island] ===<br />
<br />
Siting your [[Nuclear Reactor]] is crucial! '''Proximity and Containment''' is key here.<br />
<br />
These two considerations are interdependent- heavily shielding a reactor with carefully placed [[Reinforced Stone]] means it can be safely sited quite close to your precious mansion/fortress/hobbithole; whereas an unshielded reactor should be sited far, far away from anything and everything you hold dear.<br />
<br />
=== Step 4: Cooling ===<br />
<br />
'''Cooling''' is absolutely vital.<br />
You will need to build and install components into the reactor to keep it cool; an overheating reactor will ruin your day. See the [[Nuclear Reactor]] page for a complete breakdown of heating and cooling in nuclear systems.<br />
<br />
=== Step 5: The Green Glow ===<br />
<br />
At this point, you should have a complete reactor, ideally situated inside a reinforced stone tank of water. No time for congratulations, though... we need fuel for the beast! Raw Uranium ore simply will not do, so it's time for:<br />
<br />
=== Step 6: Cells of Plenty ===<br />
So, how to we process Uranium, you ask? Easy!<br />
You have to [[Thermal Centrifuge|Centrifuge]] it into [[Tiny Pile of Uranium 235|Tiny Piles of Uranium 235]] and [[Uranium 238]] and mix those in a crafting table to create [[Uranium|Enriched Uranium]]. Put that in a [[Canning Machine]] with a [[Fuel Rod (Empty)]] to get a [[Fuel Rod (Uranium)]].<br />
<br />
{|<br />

|}<br />
<br />
These are suitable for use in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster Chernobyl-4 Nuclear Reactor], each capable of outputting ''incredible'' amounts of power!<br />
<br />
=== Step 7: The Soothing Hum of Power ===<br />
<br />
Reactors are capable of outputting considerable power: '''each''' [[Uranium Cell]] will output 5 EU/tick, meaning that high-output Reactors need high-level infrastructure to avoid machinery damage: [[HV Transformer|HV_Transformers]], [[MFS_Unit|MFS Units]] and [[Glass_Fibre|Glass Fibre Cables]] are a common sight in a nuclear installation. Uranium Cells also have a considerable lifespan: each can produce between '''2,000,000 to 14,000,000 EU!'''<br />
<br />
=== Step 8: Holy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster Fukushima]! <small>(with apologies to the easily offended!)</small> ===<br />
<br />
If the proper precautions are taken, a Nuclear plant is as safe as a solar panel. <br />
<br />
When things '''do''' go wrong though - they go wrong in spectacular fashion. The resultant blast of an overheated reactor will level everything in a ~30 block radius that isn't Reinforced or Obsidian. Thankfully a [[Reinforced Door]] still provides protection even when open, but be careful of siting anything in line with the power cable output from the containment vessel, as this is the one weak point in any nuclear plant.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Nuclear Physics 201 ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to Nuclear Physics 201. I'll be your professor for this class. While NP101 is a strongly recommended class, it is not required. At this time, please turn in your death and injury waivers.<br />
<br />
There are 2 types of nuclear reactors, Heat (or Fluid) and EU. Contrary to what you may have heard in Nuclear Physics 101, EU does NOT output at 50% of a Heat reactor. Each reactor setup can show some RELATED jumps or dips in power, the power differences are NOT strictly 1:1, and a few EU reactors can actually do BETTER in EU mode than in Heat mode.<br />
<br />
=== Required Work ===<br />
First, anyone making a fluid reactor should immediately begin making distilled water. <br />
<br />
Second, Everyone needs to download the latest IC2 Experimental Reactor Planner Beta from this location:<br />
<br />
https://github.com/MauveCloud/Ic2ExpReactorPlanner/releases<br />
<br />
=== Reactor Setup ===<br />
Both an EU reactor and a Heat Reactor have a "reactor grid" to place components to generate heat or EU, and to remove the heat. A Heat Reactor also has locations to place and remove coolant, on each side of this grid.<br />
<br />
[[file:Both Reactors.png|600px]]<br />
<br />
Basic reactor grid patterns are the same through either EU or Heat generation. For example, you can place a setup for an EU generating reactor directly into a fluid reactor with no errors, and vice versa. The difference you will find is you will get a different final result of EU from an EU reactor compared to a Heat Reactor. <br />
<br />
A Heat Reactor REQUIRES a secondary cooling source. Putting a functional Heat Reactor online without enough EXTERNAL cooling will still blow up your project, no matter how well constructed the internal grid. Exploding your final project for ANY reason will fail you, so MAKE SURE you have enough secondary cooling on your Heat Reactors!<br />
<br />
[[file:Expandable_Steam_Plant.png|600px]]<br />
<br />
=== EU Reactors ===<br />
EU Reactors are simple. plug in your proper grid of parts and it'll output EU. If there's nowhere for the EU to go, it dumps it. That's not to say getting all of those resources is simple! Check the examples below to see how much material goes into making a full-size reactor.<br />
<br />
=== Heat Reactors ===<br />
Heat Reactors take MUCH more to put in place, both in their extra containment shell and their external cooling. A Heat Reactor is created by placing a reactor with 6 attached chambers in the center of a 5x5x5 block of Reactor Pressure Vessel blocks. You will also need one of these blocks to be a Reactor Redstone Port to turn on the reactor, one to be a Reactor Access Hatch to fill the reactor with equipment and coolant, and likely 3 to be Reactor Fluid Ports.<br />
<br />
The external containment shell is 98 Reactor Pressure Vessel Blocks. Likely 5, but as many as 14, will need 7 more blocks each, because the special blocks take 8 RPV blocks each. So likely you will need 98+35 = 133 RPBs.<br />
RPVs take 5 lead to make 4, so you will need 5/4 of 133 in lead, or 170 Lead just to make the Containment Shell.<br />
<br />
You will also need something like 40 Buckets of coolant. Coolant is made with either some lapis and some distilled water, or LOTS of lapis and regular water. You will also want something like 40 additional buckets of Distilled water if you are running a steam plant from this reactor; more in a moment!<br />
<br />
So you have a reactor, and you have it contained properly, and you have it filled with all of the equipment to run a reaction and vent the heat. <br />
<br />
'''DON'T TURN ON THAT REACTOR!''' If you haven't set up a way to carry the heat away from the reactor EXTERNALLY, you will still see it melt or blow up in a red-hot minute!<br />
<br />
'''SEE Black Bordered section in Heat Reactor above.'''<br />
<br />
Put a fluid ejector into a Reactor Fluid Port, and it will eject Hot Coolant into items adjacent. Pipe, Tank or direct attach to a Liquid Heat Exchanger full of heat conductors , and the LHE will change the Hot Coolant into regular coolant and output heat. Have it eject that coolant back to tanks, pipes, or directly to the reactor and you have a loop pulling heat away from the reactor.<br />
<br />
'''DON'T TURN ON THAT REACTOR!''' If you haven't set up a way to pull the heat from the LHE, it will stop working and you will be sitting on a reactor-bomb again.<br />
<br />
'''See Apparatus OUTSIDE black-bordered section in picture above, with the orange squares representing LHEs to give off heat.'''<br />
<br />
The simple way to pull the heat from the reactor is a Stirling Engine. Match the squares of the LHE and Stirling Engine together, and you will get your heat used up, with a 50% EU return.<br />
<br />
The complex way is to use a boiler and steam turbines. This is MUCH more material intensive, and takes some extra planning to make sure it works, but you get 75% of your heat as EU.<br />
<br />
'''DON'T TURN ON THAT REACTOR!'''<br />
<br />
'''Picture above does NOT show energy storage. Reactor above will explode.'''<br />
<br />
Did you make sure you are storing or using all of your EU? If you can't use or store the EU, the engines you have will stop working, then the LHEs will not be have anywhere to transfer heat, then your reactor will blow up. None of this is a factor with EU reactors, which don't care about if you can store their EU, or where their heat goes.<br />
<br />
Once you have a proper external heat loop, and heat user, and energy storage or other product use/storage, THEN you can feel comfortable about turning on your heat reactor. I would still monitor the parts for 5-10 minutes to make sure everything is going as planned.<br />

2. Did I put coolant in my reactor? Did I put enough?<br />
<br />
3. Did I put ejectors and pullers into the Fluid Ports?<br />
<br />
4. Did I put Heat Exchangers and ejectors into the LHEs?<br />
<br />
5. Did I set up coolant distribution properly? Are pipes, tanks and distributors all set as they should be? Are ejectors or pullers properly placed?<br />
<br />
6. Did I place the orange squares together, or facing the proper direction?<br />
<br />
BOILERS:<br />
<br />
7. Did I place enough distilled water into the boilers?<br />
<br />
8. Did I put turbines into the turbines? WHY ARE THE CALLED THE SAME THINGS? (Steam Kinetic Generators!)<br />
<br />
9. Did I set up water collection? Did I put Ejectors and Pullers into proper places?<br />
<br />
=== Example EU / Heat Reactors ===<br />
Sure, you can play around with the grid on your own. I STRONGLY suggest using the simulator you were supposed to have obtained from the Required Work section.. For those who are trying to BLOW THEM SELVES UP or trying to make some non-stable mumbo-jumbo, you'll get no help here today. (Maybe the TA will help, he sometimes dabbles on his own time...)<br />
<br />
If you want it in "Mark I-V" speak, all of these are Mark I's, except for one.<br />
<br />
They are described as '''<FUEL & REFLECTORS>, <EU Reactor Output per tick>, <Heat Reactor Output per tick> (Heat conversion to EU)''', with the simulator code afterwards.<br />

<div>{{Experimental}}<br />
This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
In order to complete the IC2 tech tree, you will need at least tens of hours of gameplay. Don't expect that you can complete everything within a single day.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />

{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Copper|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />

<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

[[File:solarflowerbottom.png|400px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/><br />
<center>''To provide a significant amount of EU from the sun, you'll need a lot of Solar Panels. If you want more advanced solar panels, or ones that work without sun, get the Advanced Solar Panels addon. This can be found on the IC2 forum.<br />
''</center><br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps20.png |650px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
== Second Steps ==<br />
<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />

==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />

The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />

{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
[[Note: these spaces are to make the pictures in a better position. Please don't delete them :-) BTW, you won't see this in the actual tutorial| ]]<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU! Be careful not to drop the pump in lava when moving it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[Charging RE Battery]]. The Charging RE Battery have 3 modes, which can be changed by right-clicking it when holding it in your hand. More information about this is available in the link. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*16 Redstone Dusts<br />
*10 Tin Ingots<br />
*8 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 40,000 EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced Charging Battery]]! A single one of them can carry 400,000 EU, ten times that of the Charging RE Battery!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*31 Copper Ingots<br />
*12 Tin Ingots<br />
*10 Bronze Ingots<br />

=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Steel]]. You can make Steel by heating Iron in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get Steel from Iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to Steel. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]] in the future. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of steel (and slag), so you need to build it early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. In this tutorial we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils to heat up the blast furnace faster, or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]] which consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU as the heat source instead .<br />
<br />
Material list with an Electric Heat Generator and a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. Remember to avoid the blast furnace stop working for whatever reason. You will need a lot of its products later.<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage block]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />

<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== Distilled water ===<br />
<br />
This section is mainly for the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]] that will be introduced in the next section. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need distilled water.<br />
<br />
Distilled water can be obtained in two ways. One is to use the [[Solar Distiller]], and the other is to use the [[Steam Boiler]], [[Steam Turbine]] and the [[Condenser]]. The Solar Distiller needs less materials and no EU to run, but it is slower and depends on the sun. The steam setup needs more materials and EU, but it is much faster. The Solar Distiller will be introduced here.<br />
<br />
Materials needed (1 Solar Distiller):<br />
* 11 Glass<br />
* 8 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass |B1=Glass |C1=Glass<br />

|Output=Solar_Distiller<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To put water in it, you can shift-click the block holding universal fluid cells that contain water, or you can put water fluid cells into it. The left tank is the water tank, and the right tank is the output tank. Slots on the top-right corner are for upgrades. To get distilled water out, you can either use an upgrade, or put fluid cells in it again.<br />
<br />
The Solar Distiller is very slow, so it is suggested to craft multiple of them.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
This section is also needed to craft the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]]. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need the [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]].<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to enrich fluids on "Fluid enrich Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*9 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />

<br />
Side affect: applying Overclocker Upgrade(s) causes your machine to use more EU to process a single item. They can be stacked in machines. The effects of them are depended on the total amount of them in a machine.<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />

The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />

<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />

<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />

=== Basic Automation ===<br />
<br />
Now that your machines are working, you probably want to save some labor like putting universal fluid cells filled with air into the blast furnace over and over and over again. Also, you sometimes want to process a lot of different items. You just wait there for the machine to do its work? NO! Set up some hoppers and stuff to get things going automatically! Here are some pictures of examples on how to do so. Of course you could create your own designs. However, they are always optional. Building them just makes your life easier.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_1.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This is a screenshot of a survival world that is played in for about 16 real life hours. On the left you can see some geothermal generators and some hoppers. This can averagely spread the lava fluid cells that was put into the top chest, and put the empty fluid cells into the bottom chest. There are upgrades in the metal former, pulling items in from the top chest and ejecting items to the chest behind. The metal former is a pretty slow machine, and these chests really helps when you need to process a bunch of iron and tin into plates / casings.. Just don't forget to change modes when using this. On the right side you can see a macerator and a working ore washing plant. The macerator pulls items from the chest next to the macerator, and ejects items to the top chest. The ore washing plant has a default pulling upgrade on the first slot, an ejector upgrade set to eject towards to the pump on the second slot, and an ejector upgrade set to eject towards the top chest on the third slot. There is a single fluid cell in the pump/ore washing plant. This makes the ore washing plant automatically fill up with water, while avoiding the fluid cell to be ejected to the top chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_2.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from the top. In this screenshot you can see the pump and the infinite water source on the top of the machines.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_3.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from behind. The cursor is pointing towards the electric furnace, which is automated, having an input chest on the top and an output chest on the bottom. Hoppers were used here, but you can also use upgrades. You can also see the blast furnace and the electric heater, being next to the double chest that has 2 hoppers below it. Notice that the electric heater is the one that has a cable connected to it.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_4.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
In this screenshot you can see the self-detecting dropper that is responsible to send items, in this case the empty universal fluid cell up to the double chest. To the right side, there are 2 hopper filters under the double chest, which is the output chest for the blast furnace. One is to filter out the empty universal fluid cell, and the other one is to filter out the steel ingot, which is not necessary. Slag is left in the double chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_5.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This screenshot shows the hopper filter.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_6.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is another screenshot of the automatic blast furnace system. The blast furnace is behind the compressor, with the compressor being set to eject towards the blast furnace, and the blast furnace set to eject towards the double chest. If you directly set the blast furnace to eject towards the compressor, steel will also end up in the compressor as it can be compressed into Steel Blocks. That's why a vanilla hopper filter is used to do that job.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with relatively high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the wind turbine, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, crafted like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator has a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />
<br />

<br />
=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

Now that you have got your Electric Jetpack, you can now fly up to avoid creeper explosions! But don't forget to charge it.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Automated Mining: The Miner ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD Scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|A2=Iron Plate|A3=Iron Plate<br />
|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=Gold Casing<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced RE-Battery|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=OD Scanner}}<br />
<br />
If you have got diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*11 Redstone Dusts<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Gold Ingots<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 OD Scanner<br />
<br />
You need to craft 1 [[Energy Crystal]]. This recipe should be remembered.<br />
<br />

|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Bigger Portable Batteries ===<br />
<br />
The miner use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to put in more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged [[Charging RE Battery|Chargin RE Batteries]], and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

As it can be inferred from the recipes, crafting 1 diamond requires 64 coal dust, 8 flint, an obsidian/bricks/iron block and some EU. Bricks is recommended as it's made from clay, found in a great abundance in riverbeds. <br />
<br />
=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*10 Redstone Dusts<br />
*7 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Bronze Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />

|C1=Energy Crystal|C3=Advanced Alloy|C2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Although you have crafted the [[Mining Laser]], you can't charge it yet. You need the MFE Unit to charge it, which needs 16 Diamonds. If you don't have that many diamonds and you have 5 stacks of slag, it is recommended to craft the [[Thermal Centrifuge]] first, which needs the Mining Laser, and you can get coal dust out of slag by processing it in the Thermal Centrifuge, and you can use the coal dust to craft diamonds needed for another Mining Laser and the MFE again. <br />
<br />
The Mining Laser have different firing modes. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click''' (under default controls). The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mode. It's balanced. However, if you want to mine fast, use the 3x3 mode or scatter mode.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has uses besides processing ores and slag. It can be used to process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*20 Iron Ingots<br />
*16 Coal Dusts<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Steel Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />

=== HV Era: The MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player <s>unless you're producing UUM</s>.<br />
<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, 4 gold cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times, and finally charge your mining laser.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Steel Rotors ===<br />
<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Steel Rotors for the Wind Turbine (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. All rotors eventually wear out, but replacing your wooden rotors with steel rotors give a large buff to your wind generators.<br />

The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Block Cutting Machine ===<br />
<br />
Yes, you heard it right. This magical machine that can cut blocks into plates, logs into ''more'' planks and planks into ''more'' sticks! <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Steel Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Tin Ingot<br />
<br />

<br />
The Block Cutting Machine is '''entirely useless''' without a blade in it. There are Iron blades, Steel blades and the Diamond blade. Steel blade is good enough for almost all purposes, with an exception of Steel blocks. If you have a lot of diamonds, you can also craft the diamond blade, but it is not recommended unless you need a lot of steel plates.<br />

<br />
Finally, you don't have to wait for the Metal Former <s>''that sucks at making plates''</s> to do its <s>stupid</s> thing! HOORAY!<br />
<br />
=== Nano Suit ===<br />
<br />
Your armor is wearing out? There are the EU-based armors! Actually, there are two types of it: the [[Nano Suit]] and the [[Quantum Suit]]. The Quantum Suit is unaffordable now, thus we will craft the nano suit. As you should be wearing the [[Electric Jetpack]], we won't craft the [[Nano-Bodyarmor]] now, but it is needed to craft the [[Quantum-Bodyarmor]] later. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: ''(without the bodyarmor)''<br />
* 112 Coal Dust<br />
* 41 Copper Ingots<br />
* 37 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 16 Tin Ingots<br />
* 15 Iron Ingots<br />
* '''12 Diamonds'''<br />
* 12 Glass<br />
* 10 Lapis Lazuli<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Lead Ingot<br />
* 1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
It needs lot of materials, huh? Now comes '''more''' crafting! <br />

Why do you need the teleporter? To craft the Advanced Miner!<br />
<br />
=== Advanced Miner ===<br />
<br />
The [[Advanced Miner]] is the upgraded version of the [[Miner]]. You don't need to deal with excess cobble if you set it properly, and it can mine a much larger area.<br />
<br />
You also need your existing miner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 55 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 51 Iron Ingots<br />
* 32 Coal Dusts<br />
* ''' 21 Diamonds '''<br />
* 15 Copper Ingots<br />

=== More powerful generators ===<br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== IC2 Agriculture ===<br />
<br />
While your advanced miner is slowly mining ores, you can consider cross-breeding crops to get a better yield. More information about this is in [[Tutorial:Crops_and_Cross-Breeding|another tutorial]].<br />
<br />
== <big>'''DAWN OF THE EXTREME VOLTAGE'''</big>: MFSU ==<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Note: this section "DAWN OF THE EXTREME VOLTAGE: MFSU" is currently WIP. Some contents are being added, while some are unfinished. Thus it might not be coherent in general. You might see some empty sections that aren't added yet. Don't mind them. I will keep working on it. Apologies for the inconvenience. <br />
<br />
--[[User:KrisBigK|KrisBigK]] ([[User talk:KrisBigK|talk]]) 09:08, 20 August 2019 (CET)<br />

<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To craft one, you will need energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device without addons! The MFSU will output EV(Extreme Voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the [[HV-Transformer]]!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=MV-Transformer|C2=Advanced RE-Battery<br />
|B3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=HV-Transformer}}<br />
<br />
Place the HV Transformer with the five-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the MV Transformer or your MFE. This way it will "step-down" the extreme voltage to high voltage.<br />
<br />
=== Replication ===<br />
<br />
There is a [[Tutorial:Replication|separate tutorial]] about replication.<br />
<br />
=== Quantum Suit ===<br />
<br />
Once you've replicated enough [[Iridium]], you can craft the quantum suit. <br />
<br />
''unfinished''<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />

|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Iron Plate<br />

{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Copper|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />

An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br/> <br/><br />
<center>''To provide a significant amount of EU from the sun, you'll need a lot of Solar Panels. If you want more advanced solar panels, or ones that work without sun, get the Advanced Solar Panels addon. This can be found on the IC2 forum.<br />
''</center><br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Second Steps ==<br />
<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />

<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />

|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Generator|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Geothermal Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU! Be careful not to drop the pump in lava when moving it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[Charging RE Battery]]. The Charging RE Battery have 3 modes, which can be changed by right-clicking it when holding it in your hand. More information about this is available in the link. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*16 Redstone Dusts<br />
*10 Tin Ingots<br />
*8 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
Walking around with 40,000 EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced Charging Battery]]! A single one of them can carry 400,000 EU, ten times that of the Charging RE Battery!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*31 Copper Ingots<br />
*12 Tin Ingots<br />
*10 Bronze Ingots<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />

<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Steel]]. You can make Steel by heating Iron in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get Steel from Iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to Steel. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]] in the future. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of steel (and slag), so you need to build it early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. In this tutorial we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils to heat up the blast furnace faster, or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]] which consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU as the heat source instead .<br />
<br />
Material list with an Electric Heat Generator and a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />

|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. Remember to avoid the blast furnace stop working for whatever reason. You will need a lot of its products later.<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage block]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type = Extractor<br />

Run three Gunpowder through an Extractor to get three [[Sulfur Dust]].<br />
<br />
You can also produce sulfur from Netherrack.<br />

<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />

<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== Distilled water ===<br />
<br />
This section is mainly for the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]] that will be introduced in the next section. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need distilled water.<br />
<br />
Distilled water can be obtained in two ways. One is to use the [[Solar Distiller]], and the other is to use the [[Steam Boiler]], [[Steam Turbine]] and the [[Condenser]]. The Solar Distiller needs less materials and no EU to run, but it is slower and depends on the sun. The steam setup needs more materials and EU, but it is much faster. The Solar Distiller will be introduced here.<br />
<br />
Materials needed (1 Solar Distiller):<br />
* 11 Glass<br />
* 8 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass |B1=Glass |C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Glass |B2= |C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Universal Fluid Cell |B3=Machine |C3=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Output=Solar_Distiller<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To put water in it, you can shift-click the block holding universal fluid cells that contain water, or you can put water fluid cells into it. The left tank is the water tank, and the right tank is the output tank. Slots on the top-right corner are for upgrades. To get distilled water out, you can either use an upgrade, or put fluid cells in it again.<br />
<br />
The Solar Distiller is very slow, so it is suggested to craft multiple of them.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
This section is also needed to craft the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]]. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need the [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]].<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to enrich fluids on "Fluid enrich Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*9 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />

=== [[Upgrade]]s ===<br />
<br />

<br />
Side affect: applying Overclocker Upgrade(s) causes your machine to use more EU to process a single item. They can be stacked in machines. The effects of them are depended on the total amount of them in a machine.<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass|B1=Glass|C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Insulated Gold Cable|B2=MV Transformer|C2=Insulated Gold Cable<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|C1=Tin Plate<br />
|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Tin Plate|C3=Tin Plate<br />

|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Dense Tin Plate|C3=Dense Tin Plate<br />
|Output=Ejector Upgrade|OA=9}}<br />
<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
==== Fluid Ejector Upgrade ====<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Bucket|B2=Machine|C2=Bucket<br />
|A3=Electric Motor|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Electric Motor<br />
|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />
An example with iron ore being processed:<br />

<br />
=== Basic Automation ===<br />
<br />
Now that your machines are working, you probably want to save some labor like putting universal fluid cells filled with air into the blast furnace over and over and over again. Also, you sometimes want to process a lot of different items. You just wait there for the machine to do its work? NO! Set up some hoppers and stuff to get things going automatically! Here are some pictures of examples on how to do so. Of course you could create your own designs. However, they are always optional. Building them just makes your life easier.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_1.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This is a screenshot of a survival world that is played in for about 16 real life hours. On the left you can see some geothermal generators and some hoppers. This can averagely spread the lava fluid cells that was put into the top chest, and put the empty fluid cells into the bottom chest. There are upgrades in the metal former, pulling items in from the top chest and ejecting items to the chest behind. The metal former is a pretty slow machine, and these chests really helps when you need to process a bunch of iron and tin into plates / casings.. Just don't forget to change modes when using this. On the right side you can see a macerator and a working ore washing plant. The macerator pulls items from the chest next to the macerator, and ejects items to the top chest. The ore washing plant has a default pulling upgrade on the first slot, an ejector upgrade set to eject towards to the pump on the second slot, and an ejector upgrade set to eject towards the top chest on the third slot. There is a single fluid cell in the pump/ore washing plant. This makes the ore washing plant automatically fill up with water, while avoiding the fluid cell to be ejected to the top chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_2.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from the top. In this screenshot you can see the pump and the infinite water source on the top of the machines.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_3.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from behind. The cursor is pointing towards the electric furnace, which is automated, having an input chest on the top and an output chest on the bottom. Hoppers were used here, but you can also use upgrades. You can also see the blast furnace and the electric heater, being next to the double chest that has 2 hoppers below it. Notice that the electric heater is the one that has a cable connected to it.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_4.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
In this screenshot you can see the self-detecting dropper that is responsible to send items, in this case the empty universal fluid cell up to the double chest. To the right side, there are 2 hopper filters under the double chest, which is the output chest for the blast furnace. One is to filter out the empty universal fluid cell, and the other one is to filter out the steel ingot, which is not necessary. Slag is left in the double chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_5.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This screenshot shows the hopper filter.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_6.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is another screenshot of the automatic blast furnace system. The blast furnace is behind the compressor, with the compressor being set to eject towards the blast furnace, and the blast furnace set to eject towards the double chest. If you directly set the blast furnace to eject towards the compressor, steel will also end up in the compressor as it can be compressed into Steel Blocks. That's why a vanilla hopper filter is used to do that job.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with relatively high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the wind turbine, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, crafted like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator has a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />
<br />

<br />
=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
Now that you have got your Electric Jetpack, you can now fly up to avoid creeper explosions! But don't forget to charge it.<br />

=== Automated Mining: The Miner ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD Scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />

<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />

If you have got diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*11 Redstone Dusts<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Gold Ingots<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />

<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Bigger Portable Batteries ===<br />
<br />
The miner use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to put in more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged [[Charging RE Battery|Chargin RE Batteries]], and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

You can also make [[Reinforced Glass]], which is more Creeper-resistant than normal Glass:<br />

<br />
As it can be inferred from the recipes, crafting 1 diamond requires 64 coal dust, 8 flint, an obsidian/bricks/iron block and some EU. Bricks is recommended as it's made from clay, found in a great abundance in riverbeds. <br />
<br />
=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*10 Redstone Dusts<br />
*7 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Bronze Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />

|C1=Energy Crystal|C3=Advanced Alloy|C2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Although you have crafted the [[Mining Laser]], you can't charge it yet. You need the MFE Unit to charge it, which needs 16 Diamonds. If you don't have that many diamonds and you have 5 stacks of slag, it is recommended to craft the [[Thermal Centrifuge]] first, which needs the Mining Laser, and you can get coal dust out of slag by processing it in the Thermal Centrifuge, and you can use the coal dust to craft diamonds needed for another Mining Laser and the MFE again. <br />
<br />
The Mining Laser have different firing modes. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click''' (under default controls). The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mode. It's balanced. However, if you want to mine fast, use the 3x3 mode or scatter mode.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has uses besides processing ores and slag. It can be used to process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*20 Iron Ingots<br />
*16 Coal Dusts<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Steel Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />

=== HV Era: The MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player <s>unless you're producing UUM</s>.<br />
<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, 4 gold cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times, and finally charge your mining laser.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Steel Rotors ===<br />
<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Steel Rotors for the Wind Turbine (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. All rotors eventually wear out, but replacing your wooden rotors with steel rotors give a large buff to your wind generators.<br />
<br />

|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Block Cutting Machine ===<br />
<br />
Yes, you heard it right. This magical machine that can cut blocks into plates, logs into ''more'' planks and planks into ''more'' sticks! <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Steel Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Tin Ingot<br />
<br />

|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B2=Basic Machine Casing<br />
|B3=Electric Motor<br />

}}<br />
<br />
The Block Cutting Machine is '''entirely useless''' without a blade in it. There are Iron blades, Steel blades and the Diamond blade. Steel blade is good enough for almost all purposes, with an exception of Steel blocks. If you have a lot of diamonds, you can also craft the diamond blade, but it is not recommended unless you need a lot of steel plates.<br />

<br />
Finally, you don't have to wait for the Metal Former <s>''that sucks at making plates''</s> to do its <s>stupid</s> thing! HOORAY!<br />
<br />
=== Nano Suit ===<br />
<br />
Your armor is wearing out? There are the EU-based armors! Actually, there are two types of it: the [[Nano Suit]] and the [[Quantum Suit]]. The Quantum Suit is unaffordable now, thus we will craft the nano suit. As you should be wearing the [[Electric Jetpack]], we won't craft the [[Nano-Bodyarmor]] now, but it is needed to craft the [[Quantum-Bodyarmor]] later. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: ''(without the bodyarmor)''<br />
* 112 Coal Dust<br />
* 41 Copper Ingots<br />
* 37 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 16 Tin Ingots<br />
* 15 Iron Ingots<br />
* '''12 Diamonds'''<br />
* 12 Glass<br />
* 10 Lapis Lazuli<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Lead Ingot<br />
* 1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
It needs lot of materials, huh? Now comes '''more''' crafting! <br />

=== Advanced Miner ===<br />
<br />
The [[Advanced Miner]] is the upgraded version of the [[Miner]]. You don't need to deal with excess cobble if you set it properly, and it can mine a much larger area.<br />
<br />
You also need your existing miner.<br />
<br />

''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To craft one, you will need energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device without addons! The MFSU will output EV(Extreme Voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the [[HV-Transformer]]!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=MV-Transformer|C2=Advanced RE-Battery<br />
|B3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=HV-Transformer}}<br />
<br />
Place the HV Transformer with the five-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the MV Transformer or your MFE. This way it will "step-down" the extreme voltage to high voltage.<br />

<br />
''(waiting to be added)''<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />

|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />

<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br/> <br/><br />
<center>''To provide a significant amount of EU from the sun, you'll need a lot of Solar Panels. If you want more advanced solar panels, or ones that work without sun, get the Advanced Solar Panels addon. This can be found on the IC2 forum.<br />
''</center><br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Second Steps ==<br />
<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />

==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />

The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />

|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Note: these spaces are to make the pictures in a better position. Please don't delete them :-) BTW, you won't see this in the actual tutorial| ]]<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU! Be careful not to drop the pump in lava when moving it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[Charging RE Battery]]. The Charging RE Battery have 3 modes, which can be changed by right-clicking it when holding it in your hand. More information about this is available in the link. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*16 Redstone Dusts<br />
*10 Tin Ingots<br />
*8 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 40,000 EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced Charging Battery]]! A single one of them can carry 400,000 EU, ten times that of the Charging RE Battery!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*31 Copper Ingots<br />
*12 Tin Ingots<br />
*10 Bronze Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Lead Ingots<br />
*4 Sulfur Dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Steel]]. You can make Steel by heating Iron in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get Steel from Iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to Steel. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]] in the future. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of steel (and slag), so you need to build it early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. In this tutorial we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils to heat up the blast furnace faster, or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]] which consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU as the heat source instead .<br />
<br />
Material list with an Electric Heat Generator and a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. Remember to avoid the blast furnace stop working for whatever reason. You will need a lot of its products later.<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage block]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />

<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== Distilled water ===<br />
<br />
This section is mainly for the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]] that will be introduced in the next section. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need distilled water.<br />
<br />
Distilled water can be obtained in two ways. One is to use the [[Solar Distiller]], and the other is to use the [[Steam Boiler]], [[Steam Turbine]] and the [[Condenser]]. The Solar Distiller needs less materials and no EU to run, but it is slower and depends on the sun. The steam setup needs more materials and EU, but it is much faster. The Solar Distiller will be introduced here.<br />
<br />
Materials needed (1 Solar Distiller):<br />
* 11 Glass<br />
* 8 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass |B1=Glass |C1=Glass<br />

|Output=Solar_Distiller<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To put water in it, you can shift-click the block holding universal fluid cells that contain water, or you can put water fluid cells into it. The left tank is the water tank, and the right tank is the output tank. Slots on the top-right corner are for upgrades. To get distilled water out, you can either use an upgrade, or put fluid cells in it again.<br />
<br />
The Solar Distiller is very slow, so it is suggested to craft multiple of them.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
This section is also needed to craft the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]]. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need the [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]].<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to enrich fluids on "Fluid enrich Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*9 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />

<br />
Side affect: applying Overclocker Upgrade(s) causes your machine to use more EU to process a single item. They can be stacked in machines. The effects of them are depended on the total amount of them in a machine.<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />

|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />
<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />

<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />

=== Basic Automation ===<br />
<br />
Now that your machines are working, you probably want to save some labor like putting universal fluid cells filled with air into the blast furnace over and over and over again. Also, you sometimes want to process a lot of different items. You just wait there for the machine to do its work? NO! Set up some hoppers and stuff to get things going automatically! Here are some pictures of examples on how to do so. Of course you could create your own designs. However, they are always optional. Building them just makes your life easier.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_1.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This is a screenshot of a survival world that is played in for about 16 real life hours. On the left you can see some geothermal generators and some hoppers. This can averagely spread the lava fluid cells that was put into the top chest, and put the empty fluid cells into the bottom chest. There are upgrades in the metal former, pulling items in from the top chest and ejecting items to the chest behind. The metal former is a pretty slow machine, and these chests really helps when you need to process a bunch of iron and tin into plates / casings.. Just don't forget to change modes when using this. On the right side you can see a macerator and a working ore washing plant. The macerator pulls items from the chest next to the macerator, and ejects items to the top chest. The ore washing plant has a default pulling upgrade on the first slot, an ejector upgrade set to eject towards to the pump on the second slot, and an ejector upgrade set to eject towards the top chest on the third slot. There is a single fluid cell in the pump/ore washing plant. This makes the ore washing plant automatically fill up with water, while avoiding the fluid cell to be ejected to the top chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_2.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from the top. In this screenshot you can see the pump and the infinite water source on the top of the machines.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_3.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from behind. The cursor is pointing towards the electric furnace, which is automated, having an input chest on the top and an output chest on the bottom. Hoppers were used here, but you can also use upgrades. You can also see the blast furnace and the electric heater, being next to the double chest that has 2 hoppers below it. Notice that the electric heater is the one that has a cable connected to it.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_4.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
In this screenshot you can see the self-detecting dropper that is responsible to send items, in this case the empty universal fluid cell up to the double chest. To the right side, there are 2 hopper filters under the double chest, which is the output chest for the blast furnace. One is to filter out the empty universal fluid cell, and the other one is to filter out the steel ingot, which is not necessary. Slag is left in the double chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_5.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This screenshot shows the hopper filter.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_6.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is another screenshot of the automatic blast furnace system. The blast furnace is behind the compressor, with the compressor being set to eject towards the blast furnace, and the blast furnace set to eject towards the double chest. If you directly set the blast furnace to eject towards the compressor, steel will also end up in the compressor as it can be compressed into Steel Blocks. That's why a vanilla hopper filter is used to do that job.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with relatively high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the wind turbine, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, crafted like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator has a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />
<br />

<br />
=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
Now that you have got your Electric Jetpack, you can now fly up to avoid creeper explosions! But don't forget to charge it.<br />

=== Automated Mining: The Miner ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD Scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|A2=Iron Plate|A3=Iron Plate<br />
|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=Gold Casing<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced RE-Battery|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=OD Scanner}}<br />
<br />
If you have got diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*11 Redstone Dusts<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Gold Ingots<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 OD Scanner<br />
<br />
You need to craft 1 [[Energy Crystal]]. This recipe should be remembered.<br />
<br />

|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=OD Scanner|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Bigger Portable Batteries ===<br />
<br />
The miner use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to put in more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged [[Charging RE Battery|Chargin RE Batteries]], and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

=== Making Diamonds ===<br />
<br />

<br />
As it can be inferred from the recipes, crafting 1 diamond requires 64 coal dust, 8 flint, an obsidian/bricks/iron block and some EU. Bricks is recommended as it's made from clay, found in a great abundance in riverbeds. <br />
<br />
=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*10 Redstone Dusts<br />
*7 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Bronze Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|C1=Energy Crystal|C3=Advanced Alloy|C2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Although you have crafted the [[Mining Laser]], you can't charge it yet. You need the MFE Unit to charge it, which needs 16 Diamonds. If you don't have that many diamonds and you have 5 stacks of slag, it is recommended to craft the [[Thermal Centrifuge]] first, which needs the Mining Laser, and you can get coal dust out of slag by processing it in the Thermal Centrifuge, and you can use the coal dust to craft diamonds needed for another Mining Laser and the MFE again. <br />
<br />
The Mining Laser have different firing modes. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click''' (under default controls). The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mode. It's balanced. However, if you want to mine fast, use the 3x3 mode or scatter mode.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has uses besides processing ores and slag. It can be used to process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*20 Iron Ingots<br />
*16 Coal Dusts<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Steel Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />

=== HV Era: The MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player <s>unless you're producing UUM</s>.<br />
<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, 4 gold cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />

<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times, and finally charge your mining laser.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Steel Rotors ===<br />
<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Steel Rotors for the Wind Turbine (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. All rotors eventually wear out, but replacing your wooden rotors with steel rotors give a large buff to your wind generators.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Block Cutting Machine ===<br />
<br />
Yes, you heard it right. This magical machine that can cut blocks into plates, logs into ''more'' planks and planks into ''more'' sticks! <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Steel Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Tin Ingot<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B2=Basic Machine Casing<br />
|B3=Electric Motor<br />

}}<br />
<br />
The Block Cutting Machine is '''entirely useless''' without a blade in it. There are Iron blades, Steel blades and the Diamond blade. Steel blade is good enough for almost all purposes, with an exception of Steel blocks. If you have a lot of diamonds, you can also craft the diamond blade, but it is not recommended unless you need a lot of steel plates.<br />

<br />
Finally, you don't have to wait for the Metal Former <s>''that sucks at making plates''</s> to do its <s>stupid</s> thing! HOORAY!<br />
<br />
=== Nano Suit ===<br />
<br />
Your armor is wearing out? There are the EU-based armors! Actually, there are two types of it: the [[Nano Suit]] and the [[Quantum Suit]]. The Quantum Suit is unaffordable now, thus we will craft the nano suit. As you should be wearing the [[Electric Jetpack]], we won't craft the [[Nano-Bodyarmor]] now, but it is needed to craft the [[Quantum-Bodyarmor]] later. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: ''(without the bodyarmor)''<br />
* 112 Coal Dust<br />
* 41 Copper Ingots<br />
* 37 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 16 Tin Ingots<br />
* 15 Iron Ingots<br />
* '''12 Diamonds'''<br />
* 12 Glass<br />
* 10 Lapis Lazuli<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Lead Ingot<br />
* 1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
It needs lot of materials, huh? Now comes '''more''' crafting! <br />

=== Advanced Miner ===<br />
<br />
''(waiting to be added)''<br />
<br />
=== More powerful generators ===<br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
''(more to come)''<br />
<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
== <big>'''DAWN OF THE EXTREME VOLTAGE'''</big>: MFSU ==<br />
<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To craft one, you will need energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device without addons! The MFSU will output EV(Extreme Voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the [[HV-Transformer]]!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=MV-Transformer|C2=Advanced RE-Battery<br />
|B3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=HV-Transformer}}<br />
<br />
Place the HV Transformer with the five-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the MV Transformer or your MFE. This way it will "step-down" the extreme voltage to high voltage.<br />
<br />

''(waiting to be added)''<br />
<br />
=== Quantum Suit ===<br />
<br />
''(waiting to be added)''<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />

[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Iron Plate<br />

{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Copper|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />

|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />

<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

[[File:solarflowerbottom.png|400px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/><br />
<center>''To provide a significant amount of EU from the sun, you'll need a lot of Solar Panels. If you want more advanced solar panels, or ones that work without sun, get the Advanced Solar Panels addon. This can be found on the IC2 forum.<br />
''</center><br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Small Power Unit<br />
|Output=Electric_Treetap<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />
|OA=16<br />
|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Generator|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Geothermal Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU! Be careful not to drop the pump in lava when moving it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[Charging RE Battery]]. The Charging RE Battery have 3 modes, which can be changed by right-clicking it when holding it in your hand. More information about this is available in the link. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*16 Redstone Dusts<br />
*10 Tin Ingots<br />
*8 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />

<br />
Walking around with 40,000 EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced Charging Battery]]! A single one of them can carry 400,000 EU, ten times that of the Charging RE Battery!<br />
<br />

The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />
Material list if using Electric Heat Generator with a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. Remember to avoid the blast furnace stop working for whatever reason. You will need a lot of its products later.<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage block]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />

<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />

<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== Distilled water ===<br />
<br />
This section is mainly for the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]] that will be introduced in the next section. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need distilled water.<br />
<br />
Distilled water can be obtained in two ways. One is to use the [[Solar Distiller]], and the other is to use the [[Steam Boiler]], [[Steam Turbine]] and the [[Condenser]]. The Solar Distiller needs less materials and no EU to run, but it is slower and depends on the sun. The steam setup needs more materials and EU, but it is much faster. The Solar Distiller will be introduced here.<br />
<br />
Materials needed (1 Solar Distiller):<br />
* 11 Glass<br />
* 8 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass |B1=Glass |C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Glass |B2= |C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Universal Fluid Cell |B3=Machine |C3=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Output=Solar_Distiller<br />
}}<br />
<br />
To put water in it, you can shift-click the block holding universal fluid cells that contain water, or you can put water fluid cells into it. The left tank is the water tank, and the right tank is the output tank. Slots on the top-right corner are for upgrades. To get distilled water out, you can either use an upgrade, or put fluid cells in it again.<br />
<br />
The Solar Distiller is very slow, so it is suggested to craft multiple of them.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
This section is also needed to craft the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]]. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need the [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]].<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to enrich fluids on "Fluid enrich Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*9 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />

<br />
Side affect: applying Overclocker Upgrade(s) causes your machine to use more EU to process a single item. They can be stacked in machines. The effects of them are depended on the total amount of them in a machine.<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />

|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />
<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />
<br />

|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />

=== Basic Automation ===<br />
<br />
Now that your machines are working, you probably want to save some labor like putting universal fluid cells filled with air into the blast furnace over and over and over again. Also, you sometimes want to process a lot of different items. You just wait there for the machine to do its work? NO! Set up some hoppers and stuff to get things going automatically! Here are some pictures of examples on how to do so. Of course you could create your own designs. However, they are always optional. Building them just makes your life easier.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_1.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This is a screenshot of a survival world that is played in for about 16 real life hours. On the left you can see some geothermal generators and some hoppers. This can averagely spread the lava fluid cells that was put into the top chest, and put the empty fluid cells into the bottom chest. There are upgrades in the metal former, pulling items in from the top chest and ejecting items to the chest behind. The metal former is a pretty slow machine, and these chests really helps when you need to process a bunch of iron and tin into plates / casings.. Just don't forget to change modes when using this. On the right side you can see a macerator and a working ore washing plant. The macerator pulls items from the chest next to the macerator, and ejects items to the top chest. The ore washing plant has a default pulling upgrade on the first slot, an ejector upgrade set to eject towards to the pump on the second slot, and an ejector upgrade set to eject towards the top chest on the third slot. There is a single fluid cell in the pump/ore washing plant. This makes the ore washing plant automatically fill up with water, while avoiding the fluid cell to be ejected to the top chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_2.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from the top. In this screenshot you can see the pump and the infinite water source on the top of the machines.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_3.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from behind. The cursor is pointing towards the electric furnace, which is automated, having an input chest on the top and an output chest on the bottom. Hoppers were used here, but you can also use upgrades. You can also see the blast furnace and the electric heater, being next to the double chest that has 2 hoppers below it. Notice that the electric heater is the one that has a cable connected to it.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_4.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
In this screenshot you can see the self-detecting dropper that is responsible to send items, in this case the empty universal fluid cell up to the double chest. To the right side, there are 2 hopper filters under the double chest, which is the output chest for the blast furnace. One is to filter out the empty universal fluid cell, and the other one is to filter out the steel ingot, which is not necessary. Slag is left in the double chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_5.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This screenshot shows the hopper filter.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_6.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is another screenshot of the automatic blast furnace system. The blast furnace is behind the compressor, with the compressor being set to eject towards the blast furnace, and the blast furnace set to eject towards the double chest. If you directly set the blast furnace to eject towards the compressor, steel will also end up in the compressor as it can be compressed into Steel Blocks. That's why a vanilla hopper filter is used to do that job.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />

The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />

<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox in your base!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />

=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />

=== Automated Mining: The Miner ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD Scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />

<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=OD Scanner}}<br />
<br />
If you have got diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*11 Redstone Dusts<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Gold Ingots<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 OD Scanner<br />
<br />
You need to craft 1 [[Energy Crystal]]. This recipe should be remembered.<br />

<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Bigger Portable Batteries ===<br />
<br />
The miner use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to put in more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged [[Charging RE Battery|Chargin RE Batteries]], and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

As it can be inferred from the recipes, crafting 1 diamond requires 64 coal dust, 8 flint, an obsidian/bricks/iron block and some EU. Bricks is recommended as it's made from clay, found in a great abundance in riverbeds. <br />
<br />
=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*10 Redstone Dusts<br />
*7 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Bronze Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />

|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Although you have crafted the [[Mining Laser]], you can't charge it yet. You need the MFE Unit to charge it, which needs 16 Diamonds. If you don't have that many diamonds and you have 5 stacks of slag, it is recommended to craft the [[Thermal Centrifuge]] first, which needs the Mining Laser, and you can get coal dust out of slag by processing it in the Thermal Centrifuge, and you can use the coal dust to craft diamonds needed for another Mining Laser and the MFE again. <br />
<br />
The Mining Laser have different firing modes. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click''' (under default controls). The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mode. It's balanced. However, if you want to mine fast, use the 3x3 mode or scatter mode.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has uses besides processing ores and slag. It can be used to process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*20 Iron Ingots<br />
*16 Coal Dusts<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Steel Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />

=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player <s>unless you're producing UUM</s>.<br />
<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />

|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Nano Suit ===<br />
<br />
Your armor is wearing out? There are the EU-based armors! Actually, there are two types of it: the [[Nano Suit]] and the [[Quantum Suit]]. The Quantum Suit is unaffordable now, thus we will craft the nano suit. As you should be wearing the [[Electric Jetpack]], we won't craft the [[Nano-Bodyarmor]] now, but it is needed to craft the [[Quantum-Bodyarmor]] later. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: ''(without the bodyarmor)''<br />
* 112 Coal Dust<br />
* 41 Copper Ingots<br />
* 37 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 16 Tin Ingots<br />
* 15 Iron Ingots<br />
* '''12 Diamonds'''<br />
* 12 Glass<br />
* 10 Lapis Lazuli<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Lead Ingot<br />
* 1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
It needs lot of materials, huh? Now comes '''more''' crafting! <br />

Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />

|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />

<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />
[[file:Workingterraformer.png|link=|1200px|center]]<br />
<br />
=== Teleporter ===<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|B2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=FreqTrans}}<br />

|Output=Teleporter}}<br />
<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Experimental}}<br />
<br />
'''Coolant Cells''' are used to store heat within the {{Gin|Nuclear Reactor}} and {{Gin|Reactor Pressure Vessel|}} [[Pressure Vessel Reactor]].<br />
<br />
== Recipe ==<br />
There are three types of Coolant Cells, each used to craft the next.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Coolant cell is created in a canning machine, another machine and a {{Gin|Fluid Ejector Upgrade}} may be used for saving the output into an {{Gin|Empty Cell}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Canning Machine<br />
|mode=D<br />
|input-tank=Distilled Water<br />
|input-fill=1000<br />
|input=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|output-tank=Coolant<br />
|output-fill=1000<br />
|output-tank-link=Coolant (Fluid)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Canning Machine<br />

|input=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|IA=8<br />
|output-tank=Coolant<br />
|output-fill=1000<br />
|output-tank-link=Coolant (Fluid)}}<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
When used in a {{Gin|Nuclear Reactor}}, the Coolant Cell serves simply as a large heat buffer. It does not dissipate heat on its own. It can be placed next to a {{Gin|Uranium Cell}} to collect heat or next to a {{Gin|Heat Exchanger}} to release heat.<br />
<br />
A Coolant Cell cannot be placed into a {{Gin|Reactor Pressure Vessel|}} [[Pressure Vessel Reactor]] until it is completely cool. A cool Coolant Cell can still be used in the Reactor Pressure Vessel as normal. If the Coolant Cell is removed from the Pressure Vessel Reactor, it must be cooled down before it can be used in a fluid reactor again. The Coolant Cell can be cooled by placing it into an EU Nuclear Reactor.<br />
<br />
A fully heated Coolant Cell, like most other reactor components, will be destroyed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Coolant Cells are also used to craft {{Gin|Overclocker Upgrade}}s.<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=|C1=<br />
|A2=Stick|B2=|C2=Stick<br />
|A3=Stick|B3=|C3=Stick<br />
|Output=Crops<br />
}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />

|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />

|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />

'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />

<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Bronze Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Bronze Item Casing<br />

<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Bronze Item Casing|B2=Bronze Item Casing|C2=Bronze Item Casing<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />

The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />

}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU! Be careful not to drop the pump in lava when moving it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[Charging RE Battery]]. The Charging RE Battery have 3 modes, which can be changed by right-clicking it when holding it in your hand. More information about this is available in the link. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*16 Redstone Dusts<br />
*10 Tin Ingots<br />
*8 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 40,000 EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced Charging Battery]]! A single one of them can carry 400,000 EU, ten times that of the Charging RE Battery!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*31 Copper Ingots<br />
*12 Tin Ingots<br />
*10 Bronze Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />
Material list if using Electric Heat Generator with a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. Remember to avoid the blast furnace stop working for whatever reason. You will need a lot of its products later.<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage block]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />

=== Distilled water ===<br />
<br />
This section is mainly for the [[Upgrade#Overclocker Upgrade|Overclocker Upgrade]] that will be introduced in the next section. If you don't want overclocker upgrades, you can skip this section, but remember to come back when you need distilled water.<br />

The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />

<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />

<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />

=== Basic Automation ===<br />
<br />
Now that your machines are working, you probably want to save some labor like putting universal fluid cells filled with air into the blast furnace over and over and over again. Also, you sometimes want to process a lot of different items. You just wait there for the machine to do its work? NO! Set up some hoppers and stuff to get things going automatically! Here are some pictures of examples on how to do so. Of course you could create your own designs. However, they are always optional. Building them just makes your life easier.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_1.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This is a screenshot of a survival world that is played in for about 16 real life hours. On the left you can see some geothermal generators and some hoppers. This can averagely spread the lava fluid cells that was put into the top chest, and put the empty fluid cells into the bottom chest. There are upgrades in the metal former, pulling items in from the top chest and ejecting items to the chest behind. The metal former is a pretty slow machine, and these chests really helps when you need to process a bunch of iron and tin into plates / casings.. Just don't forget to change modes when using this. On the right side you can see a macerator and a working ore washing plant. The macerator pulls items from the chest next to the macerator, and ejects items to the top chest. The ore washing plant has a default pulling upgrade on the first slot, an ejector upgrade set to eject towards to the pump on the second slot, and an ejector upgrade set to eject towards the top chest on the third slot. There is a single fluid cell in the pump/ore washing plant. This makes the ore washing plant automatically fill up with water, while avoiding the fluid cell to be ejected to the top chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_2.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from the top. In this screenshot you can see the pump and the infinite water source on the top of the machines.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_3.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from behind. The cursor is pointing towards the electric furnace, which is automated, having an input chest on the top and an output chest on the bottom. Hoppers were used here, but you can also use upgrades. You can also see the blast furnace and the electric heater, being next to the double chest that has 2 hoppers below it. Notice that the electric heater is the one that has a cable connected to it.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_4.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
In this screenshot you can see the self-detecting dropper that is responsible to send items, in this case the empty universal fluid cell up to the double chest. To the right side, there are 2 hopper filters under the double chest, which is the output chest for the blast furnace. One is to filter out the empty universal fluid cell, and the other one is to filter out the steel ingot, which is not necessary. Slag is left in the double chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_5.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This screenshot shows the hopper filter.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_6.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is another screenshot of the automatic blast furnace system. The blast furnace is behind the compressor, with the compressor being set to eject towards the blast furnace, and the blast furnace set to eject towards the double chest. If you directly set the blast furnace to eject towards the compressor, steel will also end up in the compressor as it can be compressed into Steel Blocks. That's why a vanilla hopper filter is used to do that job.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox in your base!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />

<br />
=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
Now that you have got your Electric Jetpack, you can now fly up to avoid creeper explosions! But don't forget to charge it.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It is completely optional as of now, and it can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />

<br />
=== Automated Mining: The Miner ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD Scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />

|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=Gold Casing<br />

|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=OD Scanner}}<br />
<br />
If you have got diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*11 Redstone Dusts<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Gold Ingots<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 OD Scanner<br />
<br />
You need to craft 1 [[Energy Crystal]]. This recipe should be remembered.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Bigger Portable Batteries ===<br />
<br />
The miner use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to put in more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged [[Charging RE Battery|Chargin RE Batteries]], and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

As it can be inferred from the recipes, crafting 1 diamond requires 64 coal dust, 8 flint, an obsidian/bricks/iron block and some EU. Bricks is recommended as it's made from clay, found in a great abundance in riverbeds. <br />
<br />
=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*10 Redstone Dusts<br />
*7 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Bronze Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />

|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Although you have crafted the [[Mining Laser]], you can't charge it yet. You need the MFE Unit to charge it, which needs 16 Diamonds. If you don't have that many diamonds and you have 5 stacks of slag, it is recommended to craft the [[Thermal Centrifuge]] first, which needs the Mining Laser, and you can get coal dust out of slag by processing it in the Thermal Centrifuge, and you can use the coal dust to craft diamonds needed for another Mining Laser and the MFE again. <br />
<br />
The Mining Laser have different firing modes. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click''' (under default controls). The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mode. It's balanced. However, if you want to mine fast, use the 3x3 mode or scatter mode.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has uses besides processing ores and slag. It can be used to process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*20 Iron Ingots<br />
*16 Coal Dusts<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Steel Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />

<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player <s>unless you're producing UUM</s>.<br />
<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />

|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Nano Suit ===<br />
<br />
Your armor is wearing out? There are the EU-based armors! Actually, there are two types of it: the [[Nano Suit]] and the [[Quantum Suit]]. The Quantum Suit is unaffordable now, thus we will craft the nano suit. As you should be wearing the [[Electric Jetpack]], we won't craft the [[Nano-Bodyarmor]] now, but it is needed to craft the [[Quantum-Bodyarmor]] later. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: ''(without the bodyarmor)''<br />
* 112 Coal Dust<br />
* 41 Copper Ingots<br />
* 37 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 16 Tin Ingots<br />
* 13 Iron Ingots<br />
* '''12 Diamonds'''<br />
* 12 Glass<br />
* 10 Lapis Lazuli<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
* 1 Lead Ingot<br />
* 1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />
It needs lot of materials, huh? Now comes '''more''' crafting! <br />

=== More powerful generators ===<br />
<br />
<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
=== Advanced Miner ===<br />
<br />
''(waiting to be added)''<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
=== Replication ===<br />
<br />
''(waiting to be added)''<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />

It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />
[[file:Workingterraformer.png|link=|1200px|center]]<br />

<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />

Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Iron Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Copper|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />

Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />

Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

== Second Steps ==<br />
<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />

The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />

|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />

[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU! Be careful not to drop the pump in lava when moving it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[Charging RE Battery]]. The Charging RE Battery have 3 modes, which can be changed by right-clicking it when holding it in your hand. More information about this is available in the link. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*16 Redstone Dusts<br />
*10 Tin Ingots<br />
*8 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
Walking around with 40,000 EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced Charging Battery]]! A single one of them can carry 400,000 EU, ten times that of the Charging RE Battery!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*31 Copper Ingots<br />
*12 Tin Ingots<br />
*10 Bronze Ingots<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />
Material list if using Electric Heat Generator with a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />

Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. Remember to avoid the blast furnace stop working for whatever reason. You will need a lot of its products later.<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage block]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />

*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />

<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />

|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Insulated Tin Cable|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=LV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== [[Upgrade]]s ===<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass|B1=Glass|C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Insulated Gold Cable|B2=MV Transformer|C2=Insulated Gold Cable<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Dense Tin Plate|C3=Dense Tin Plate<br />
|Output=Ejector Upgrade|OA=9}}<br />
<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
==== Fluid Ejector Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Fluid Ejector Upgrade|Fluid Ejector Upgrade]] is similar to the [[Ejector Upgrade]], but instead of ejecting items it enables the machine to eject fluids.<br />
<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />
<br />

|A2=Bucket|B2=Machine|C2=Bucket<br />
|A3=Electric Motor|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Electric Motor<br />
|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />
An example with iron ore being processed:<br />

<br />
=== Basic Automation ===<br />
<br />
Now that your machines are working, you probably want to save some labor like putting universal fluid cells filled with air into the blast furnace over and over and over again. Also, you sometimes want to process a lot of different items. You just wait there for the machine to do its work? NO! Set up some hoppers and stuff to get things going automatically! Here are some pictures of examples on how to do so. Of course you could create your own designs. However, they are always optional. Building them just makes your life easier.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_1.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This is a screenshot of a survival world that is played in for about 16 real life hours. On the left you can see some geothermal generators and some hoppers. This can averagely spread the lava fluid cells that was put into the top chest, and put the empty fluid cells into the bottom chest. There are upgrades in the metal former, pulling items in from the top chest and ejecting items to the chest behind. The metal former is a pretty slow machine, and these chests really helps when you need to process a bunch of iron and tin into plates / casings.. Just don't forget to change modes when using this. On the right side you can see a macerator and a working ore washing plant. The macerator pulls items from the chest next to the macerator, and ejects items to the top chest. The ore washing plant has a default pulling upgrade on the first slot, an ejector upgrade set to eject towards to the pump on the second slot, and an ejector upgrade set to eject towards the top chest on the third slot. There is a single fluid cell in the pump/ore washing plant. This makes the ore washing plant automatically fill up with water, while avoiding the fluid cell to be ejected to the top chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_2.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from the top. In this screenshot you can see the pump and the infinite water source on the top of the machines.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_3.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from behind. The cursor is pointing towards the electric furnace, which is automated, having an input chest on the top and an output chest on the bottom. Hoppers were used here, but you can also use upgrades. You can also see the blast furnace and the electric heater, being next to the double chest that has 2 hoppers below it. Notice that the electric heater is the one that has a cable connected to it.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_4.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
In this screenshot you can see the self-detecting dropper that is responsible to send items, in this case the empty universal fluid cell up to the double chest. To the right side, there are 2 hopper filters under the double chest, which is the output chest for the blast furnace. One is to filter out the empty universal fluid cell, and the other one is to filter out the steel ingot, which is not necessary. Slag is left in the double chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_5.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This screenshot shows the hopper filter.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_6.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is another screenshot of the automatic blast furnace system. The blast furnace is behind the compressor, with the compressor being set to eject towards the blast furnace, and the blast furnace set to eject towards the double chest. If you directly set the blast furnace to eject towards the compressor, steel will also end up in the compressor as it can be compressed into Steel Blocks. That's why a vanilla hopper filter is used to do that job.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox in your base!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />

<br />
=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

|A3=Glowstone Dust|B3=|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Electric Jetpack<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now that you have got your Electric Jetpack, you can now fly up to avoid creeper explosions! But don't forget to charge it.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It is completely optional as of now, and it can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />

=== Automated Mining: The Miner ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD Scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />

|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />
<br />

|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=OD Scanner}}<br />
<br />
If you have got diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*11 Redstone Dusts<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Gold Ingots<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 OD Scanner<br />
<br />
You need to craft 1 [[Energy Crystal]]. This recipe should be remembered.<br />
<br />

|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Bigger Portable Batteries ===<br />
<br />
The miner use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to put in more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged [[Charging RE Battery|Chargin RE Batteries]], and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

<br />
As it can be inferred from the recipes, crafting 1 diamond requires 64 coal dust, 8 flint, an obsidian/bricks/iron block and some EU. Bricks is recommended as it's made from clay, found in a great abundance in riverbeds. <br />
<br />
=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*10 Redstone Dusts<br />
*7 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Bronze Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />

|C1=Energy Crystal|C3=Advanced Alloy|C2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Although you have crafted the [[Mining Laser]], you can't charge it yet. You need the MFE Unit to charge it, which needs 16 Diamonds. If you don't have that many diamonds and you have 5 stacks of slag, it is recommended to craft the [[Thermal Centrifuge]] first, which needs the Mining Laser, and you can get coal dust out of slag by processing it in the Thermal Centrifuge, and you can use the coal dust to craft diamonds needed for another Mining Laser and the MFE again. <br />
<br />
The Mining Laser have different firing modes. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click''' (under default controls). The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mode. It's balanced. However, if you want to mine fast, use the 3x3 mode or scatter mode.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has uses besides processing ores and slag. It can be used to process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*20 Iron Ingots<br />
*16 Coal Dusts<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Steel Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />

<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player <s>unless you're producing UUM</s>.<br />
<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />

|A3=Refined Iron Plate|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />

<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Bronze Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Bronze Item Casing<br />

<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Bronze Item Casing|B2=Bronze Item Casing|C2=Bronze Item Casing<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />

<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />

|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />

}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

<br />
==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU! Be careful not to drop the pump in lava when moving it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[Charging RE Battery]]. The Charging RE Battery have 3 modes, which can be changed by right-clicking it when holding it in your hand. More information about this is available in the link. <br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*16 Redstone Dusts<br />
*10 Tin Ingots<br />
*8 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 40,000 EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced Charging Battery]]! A single one of them can carry 400,000 EU, ten times that of the Charging RE Battery!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*31 Copper Ingots<br />
*12 Tin Ingots<br />
*10 Bronze Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Lead Ingots<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />
Material list if using Electric Heat Generator with a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. Remember to avoid the blast furnace stop working for whatever reason. You will need a lot of its products later.<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage block]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />

*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />

The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />
An example with iron ore being processed:<br />

<br />
=== Basic Automation ===<br />
<br />
Now that your machines are working, you probably want to save some labor like putting universal fluid cells filled with air into the blast furnace over and over and over again. Also, you sometimes want to process a lot of different items. You just wait there for the machine to do its work? NO! Set up some hoppers and stuff to get things going automatically! Here are some pictures of examples on how to do so. Of course you could create your own designs. However, they are always optional. Building them just makes your life easier.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_1.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This is a screenshot of a survival world that is played in for about 16 real life hours. On the left you can see some geothermal generators and some hoppers. This can averagely spread the lava fluid cells that was put into the top chest, and put the empty fluid cells into the bottom chest. There are upgrades in the metal former, pulling items in from the top chest and ejecting items to the chest behind. The metal former is a pretty slow machine, and these chests really helps when you need to process a bunch of iron and tin into plates / casings.. Just don't forget to change modes when using this. On the right side you can see a macerator and a working ore washing plant. The macerator pulls items from the chest next to the macerator, and ejects items to the top chest. The ore washing plant has a default pulling upgrade on the first slot, an ejector upgrade set to eject towards to the pump on the second slot, and an ejector upgrade set to eject towards the top chest on the third slot. There is a single fluid cell in the pump/ore washing plant. This makes the ore washing plant automatically fill up with water, while avoiding the fluid cell to be ejected to the top chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_2.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from the top. In this screenshot you can see the pump and the infinite water source on the top of the machines.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_3.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is a screenshot viewed from behind. The cursor is pointing towards the electric furnace, which is automated, having an input chest on the top and an output chest on the bottom. Hoppers were used here, but you can also use upgrades. You can also see the blast furnace and the electric heater, being next to the double chest that has 2 hoppers below it. Notice that the electric heater is the one that has a cable connected to it.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_4.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
In this screenshot you can see the self-detecting dropper that is responsible to send items, in this case the empty universal fluid cell up to the double chest. To the right side, there are 2 hopper filters under the double chest, which is the output chest for the blast furnace. One is to filter out the empty universal fluid cell, and the other one is to filter out the steel ingot, which is not necessary. Slag is left in the double chest.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_5.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This screenshot shows the hopper filter.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_automation_6.png|left|thumb]]<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
This is another screenshot of the automatic blast furnace system. The blast furnace is behind the compressor, with the compressor being set to eject towards the blast furnace, and the blast furnace set to eject towards the double chest. If you directly set the blast furnace to eject towards the compressor, steel will also end up in the compressor as it can be compressed into Steel Blocks. That's why a vanilla hopper filter is used to do that job.<br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox in your base!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />

<br />
=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Now that you have got your Electric Jetpack, you can now fly up to avoid creeper explosions! But don't forget to charge it.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It is completely optional as of now, and it can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />

=== Automated Mining: The Miner ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD Scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />

|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />
<br />

|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=Gold Casing<br />

|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=OD Scanner}}<br />
<br />
If you have got diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*11 Redstone Dusts<br />
*'''4 Diamonds'''<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Gold Ingots<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 OD Scanner<br />
<br />
You need to craft 1 [[Energy Crystal]]. This recipe should be remembered.<br />
<br />

|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Bigger Portable Batteries ===<br />
<br />
The miner use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to put in more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged [[Charging RE Battery|Chargin RE Batteries]], and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

As it can be inferred from the recipes, crafting 1 diamond requires 64 coal dust, 8 flint, an obsidian/bricks/iron block and some EU. Bricks is recommended as it's made from clay, found in a great abundance in riverbeds. <br />
<br />
=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />

*6 Bronze Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />

<br />
Although you have crafted the [[Mining Laser]], you can't charge it yet. You need the MFE Unit to charge it, which needs 16 Diamonds. If you don't have that many diamonds and you have 5 stacks of slag, it is recommended to craft the [[Thermal Centrifuge]] first, which needs the Mining Laser, and you can get coal dust out of slag by processing it in the Thermal Centrifuge, and you can use the coal dust to craft diamonds needed for another Mining Laser and the MFE again. <br />
<br />
The Mining Laser have different firing modes. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click''' (under default controls). The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mode. It's balanced. However, if you want to mine fast, use the 3x3 mode or scatter mode.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has uses besides processing ores and slag. It can be used to process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*20 Iron Ingots<br />
*16 Coal Dusts<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Steel Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />

<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player <s>unless you're producing UUM</s>.<br />
<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />

|A3=Refined Iron Plate|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />
[[file:Workingterraformer.png|link=|1200px|center]]<br />
<br />
=== Teleporter ===<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|B2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=FreqTrans}}<br />

<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Before you begin ==<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods. IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. <br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctl, and many more things. By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />

<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Bronze Plate<br />
}}<br />

<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Bronze Item Casing|B2=Bronze Item Casing|C2=Bronze Item Casing<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />

See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />

In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|Output=Chainsaw<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Small Power Unit<br />
|Output=Electric_Treetap<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />
|OA=16<br />
|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Generator|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Geothermal Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Note: these spaces are to make the pictures in a better position. Please don't delete them :-) BTW, you won't see this in the actual tutorial| ]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE-battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Bigger portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack (short for Battery Pack) is worn in the Chest slot, so it cannot be worn at the same time as chest armor. It can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged RE-batteries, and taking a single one out to use it.<br />
<br />

|A3=RE Battery|B3= |C3=RE Battery<br />
|Output=Bat-Pack<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 60 thousand EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced BatPack]]! A single one of them can carry 600,000 EU, ten times that of the BatPack!<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />
Material list if using Electric Heat Generator with a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />
<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage unit]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />

Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />

The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />

<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />
<br />

<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />

<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great source of EU with high material costs. If you have plenty of Lava, you can craft another Geothermal Generator to fulfill your EU needs instead of crafting the wind turbine. <br />
<br />
There are different rotors you can put in the Wind Turbine. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox in your base!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />

=== Electric Jetpack ===<br />
<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It is completely optional as of now, and it can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />

==<big>The Way to Industry</big> ==<br />
<br />
=== Automated Mining ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard. as you crafted 16 of them long, long ago.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OD scanner]] and 64 Mining Pipes):<br />
*36 Iron Ingots<br />
*10 Copper Ingots<br />
*8 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Bronze Ingots<br />
*1 Glowstone Dust<br />
*1 Gold Ingot<br />
*1 Lead Dust<br />
*1 Sulfur Dust<br />
<br />

|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], there should be still some lying around, but you need more. Craft 64 for each miner you want to use. That should be enough for your miner if you place it on y=64. You needs more if you place your miner higher.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|A2=Iron Plate|A3=Iron Plate<br />
|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a miner to work, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=Gold Casing<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced RE-Battery|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=OD Scanner}}<br />
<br />
If you have got diamonds, you can craft the OV scanner.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Redstone|A2=Lapis Lazuli (Dye)|A3=Redstone<br />
|B1=Glowstone Dust|B2=Electronic Circuit|B3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|C1=Redstone|C2=Lapis Lazuli (Dye)|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Advanced Circuit}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=Gold Casing<br />
|A2=Glowstone Dust|B2=Advanced Circuit|C2=Glowstone Dust<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=OD Scanner|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Advanced Alloy ===<br />
<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />

To charge the mining laser, put it in the MFE Unit. Let the laser charge for awhile, then head back to your mine. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click'''. The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mod. It's balanced.<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has more uses besides processing ores. It is used to extract [[Coal Dust]] out of slag, which you can use to produce more diamonds, process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />

=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />

|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />

|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />

<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to do this and that... By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a big chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a small chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a smaller chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Iron Plate<br />

|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />

Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />

|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

''</center><br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />

The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />
|OA=16<br />
|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Note: these spaces are to make the pictures in a better position. Please don't delete them :-) BTW, you won't see this in the actual tutorial| ]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE-battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Bigger portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack (short for Battery Pack) is worn in the Chest slot, so it cannot be worn at the same time as chest armor. It can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged RE-batteries, and taking a single one out to use it.<br />
<br />

|Output=Bat-Pack<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 60 thousand EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced BatPack]]! A single one of them can carry 600,000 EU, ten times that of the BatPack!<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />
Material list if using Electric Heat Generator with a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

|Output=Fluid Heat Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage unit]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*13 Bronze Ingots<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 [[Sulfur Dust]]s<br />
*3 [[Lead Ingot]]s<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />

<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />

<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== [[Upgrade]]s ===<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*2 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />
<br />

|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />

|OA2=2<br />
|Output3=Stone Dust}}<br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great alternative of the [[Wind Mill]]. It can generate EU much faster than the wind mill at similar material costs. There are different rotors you can put on it. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*49 Iron Ingots<br />
*6 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />

|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the BatBox in your base!<br />
<br />
You can measure the wind strength with the [[Windmeter]]. This is an optional tool. <br />

<br />
Now you have placed your wind turbines high in the world, how are you going to get up there faster? You can use the [[Electric Jetpack]]! With it, you can '''FLY''' <s>sometimes like an idiot</s>!<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
*12 Redstone Dusts<br />
*2 Copper Ingots<br />
*3 Iron Ingots<br />
*4 Glowstone Dusts<br />
*2 Lapis Lazuli<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
Craft it!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />

<br />
=== Automated Mining ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.<br />
<br />
Total materials needed (with [[OV scanner]]):<br />
(waiting to be added)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], you need 6 [[Iron Plate|Iron Plate]] and a treetap:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|A2=Iron Plate|A3=Iron Plate<br />
|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a working miner, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a wider ranged, more energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=Gold Casing<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced RE-Battery|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />

<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Redstone|A2=Lapis Lazuli (Dye)|A3=Redstone<br />
|B1=Glowstone Dust|B2=Electronic Circuit|B3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|C1=Redstone|C2=Lapis Lazuli (Dye)|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Advanced Circuit}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=Gold Casing<br />
|A2=Glowstone Dust|B2=Advanced Circuit|C2=Glowstone Dust<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=OD Scanner|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
When used, the OD Scanner scans the ores in a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner. If you have plenty of EU to spare with and enough materials, the OV scanner is highly recommended for use in the miner.<br />
<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]]. You can put yours in there, and you can also craft a [[Diamond Drill]] for faster speeds and more EU consumption.<br />
<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
||B2=Diamond<br />
|A3=Diamond|B3=Mining Drill|C3=Diamond<br />
|Output=Diamond Drill<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== Advanced Alloy ===<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Bronze Plate|B2=Bronze Plate|C2=Bronze Plate<br />

{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Metal Block<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Advanced Alloy<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]]s, bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

|Output=Composite Armor Vest<br />
}}<br />
<br />
You can also make [[Reinforced Glass]], which is more Creeper-resistant than normal Glass:<br />

=== Making Diamonds ===<br />
<br />
Having trouble finding all of those diamonds? You can use the [[Compressor]] to convert all of that coal you have been hoarding into diamonds! HAYO!<br />
<br />

=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Redstone|A2=Advanced Alloy<br />

|C1=Energy Crystal|C3=Advanced Alloy|C2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
To charge the mining laser, put it in the MFE Unit. Let the laser charge for awhile, then head back to your mine. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click'''. The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mod. It's balanced.<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has more uses besides processing ores. It is used to extract [[Coal Dust]] out of slag, which you can use to produce more diamonds, process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />

|Top=Energium Dust|IA=9<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Energy Crystal<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />

|A3=Refined Iron Plate|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
{|<br />

||{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Combined Carbon Fibers<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Carbon Plate}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Refined Iron Plate|A2=Carbon Plate|A3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|B1=Advanced Alloy|B2=Machine|B3=Advanced Alloy<br />
|C1=Refined Iron Plate|C2=Carbon Plate|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Advanced Machine}}<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to do this and that... By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a big chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a small chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a smaller chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />

}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Iron Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Copper|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Bronze Item Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Bronze Item Casing|B2=Bronze Item Casing|C2=Bronze Item Casing<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />

|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />

From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />

<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|Output=Electric_Treetap<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />
|OA=16<br />
|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Generator|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Geothermal Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

<br />
==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Note: these spaces are to make the pictures in a better position. Please don't delete them :-) BTW, you won't see this in the actual tutorial| ]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_3.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE-battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Bigger portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack (short for Battery Pack) is worn in the Chest slot, so it cannot be worn at the same time as chest armor. It can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged RE-batteries, and taking a single one out to use it.<br />
<br />

|A3=RE Battery|B3= |C3=RE Battery<br />
|Output=Bat-Pack<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 60 thousand EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced BatPack]]! A single one of them can carry 600,000 EU, ten times that of the BatPack!<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />
Material list if using Electric Heat Generator with a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. <br />

=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage unit]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />

<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== [[Upgrade]]s ===<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass|B1=Glass|C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Insulated Gold Cable|B2=MV Transformer|C2=Insulated Gold Cable<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
==== Fluid Ejector Upgrade ===<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Fluid Ejector Upgrade|Fluid Ejector Upgrade]] is similar to the [[Ejector Upgrade]], but instead of ejecting items it enables the machine to eject fluids.<br />

=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*24 Iron Ingots<br />
*13 Copper Ingots<br />
*6 Tin Ingots<br />
*2 Redstone Ingots<br />
<br />
Note that 3 or 6 Iron Ingots can be replaced with Tin Ingots if you use the IC2 Tin Ingots==>Bucket recipe instead of Iron Ingots.<br />
<br />

|A2=Bucket|B2=Machine|C2=Bucket<br />
|A3=Electric Motor|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Electric Motor<br />
|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />
An example with iron ore being processed:<br />

|Output2=Tiny Pile of Iron Dust<br />
|OA2=2<br />
|Output3=Stone Dust}}<br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great alternative of the [[Wind Mill]]. It can generate EU much faster than the wind mill at similar material costs. There are different rotors you can put on it. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the batbox in your base!<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
Craft it!<br />
<br />

Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]], bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)!

=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />

<br />
To charge the mining laser, put it in the MFE Unit. Let the laser charge for awhile, then head back to your mine. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click'''. The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mod. It's balanced.<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has more uses besides processing ores. It is used to extract [[Coal Dust]] out of slag, which you can use to produce more diamonds, process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />

=== Automated Mining ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
For a working miner, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a more precise, energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The OD Scanner scans a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner.<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]].<br />

<br />
The Mining Drill is a useful item. It can mine stone fast, and dirt even faster. It's also a hand-held tool, not just an item for the Miner.<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />

For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Refined Iron Rotor Blade|B2=Shaft (Iron)|C2=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />

|A3=Refined Iron Plate|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Coal Dust|B2=Coal Dust<br />

||{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Combined Carbon Fibers<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Carbon Plate}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Refined Iron Plate|A2=Carbon Plate|A3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|B1=Advanced Alloy|B2=Machine|B3=Advanced Alloy<br />
|C1=Refined Iron Plate|C2=Carbon Plate|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Advanced Machine}}<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to do this and that... By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a big chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a small chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a smaller chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />

|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />

<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Bronze Plate<br />
}}<br />

<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />

<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />

==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />

<br />
The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />

The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />

|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Note: these spaces are to make the pictures in a better position. Please don't delete them :-) BTW, you won't see this in the actual tutorial| ]]<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE-battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Bigger portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack (short for Battery Pack) is worn in the Chest slot, so it cannot be worn at the same time as chest armor. It can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged RE-batteries, and taking a single one out to use it.<br />
<br />

|A3=RE Battery|B3= |C3=RE Battery<br />
|Output=Bat-Pack<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 60 thousand EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced BatPack]]! A single one of them can carry 600,000 EU, ten times that of the BatPack!<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with one [[Coil]]. You can also use more coils or a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />
Material list if using Electric Heat Generator with a single coil:<br />
*17 Iron Ingots<br />
*11 Copper Ingots<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Universal Fluid Cell|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Fluid Heat Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, '''everything''' will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
You will need to craft the [[LV Transformer]] so that your CESU that you're going to craft doesn't make all your machines explode..<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*3 Copper Ingots<br />
*1 Iron Ingot<br />
*1 Tin Ingot<br />

=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger [[EU storage unit]]!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />

<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== [[Upgrade]]s ===<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Dense Tin Plate|C3=Dense Tin Plate<br />

<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
==== Pulling upgrade ====<br />
<br />
The [[Upgrade#Pulling Upgrade|Pulling Upgrade]] is similar to the Ejector Upgrade. Instead of ejecting items, this upgrade makes machine pull items from nearby containers.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
(material list needed)<br />

|A3=Electric Motor|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Electric Motor<br />
|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />

|OA2=2<br />
|Output3=Stone Dust}}<br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great alternative of the [[Wind Mill]]. It can generate EU much faster than the wind mill at similar material costs. There are different rotors you can put on it. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />

|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the batbox in your base!<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
Craft it!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />

=== Advanced Alloy ===<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]], bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

<br />
You can also make [[Reinforced Glass]], which is more Creeper-resistant than normal Glass:<br />

=== Making Diamonds ===<br />
<br />
Having trouble finding all of those diamonds? You can use the [[Compressor]] to convert all of that coal you have been hoarding into diamonds! HAYO!<br />
<br />

=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Redstone|A2=Advanced Alloy<br />
|B1=Energy Crystal|B2=Advanced Alloy|B3=Advanced Alloy<br />
|C1=Energy Crystal|C3=Advanced Alloy|C2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
To charge the mining laser, put it in the MFE Unit. Let the laser charge for awhile, then head back to your mine. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click'''. The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mod. It's balanced.<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has more uses besides processing ores. It is used to extract [[Coal Dust]] out of slag, which you can use to produce more diamonds, process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
=== Automated Mining ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], you need 6 [[Iron Plate|Iron Plate]] and a treetap:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|A2=Iron Plate|A3=Iron Plate<br />
|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a working miner, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a more precise, energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Gold Casing|B1=Glowstone Dust|C1=Gold Casing<br />

|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=OD Scanner|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
The OD Scanner scans a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner.<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]].<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=RE Battery|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Electric Motor<br />

|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Power Unit|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Drill<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Mining Drill is a useful item. It can mine stone fast, and dirt even faster. It's also a hand-held tool, not just an item for the Miner.<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Diamond<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Diamond Dust<br />
}}<br />

|A1=Redstone|B1=Diamond Dust|C1=Redstone<br />
|A2=Diamond Dust|B2=Redstone|C2=Diamond Dust<br />
|A3=Redstone|B3=Diamond Dust|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Energium Dust|OA=9<br />
}}<br />
|{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Energium Dust|IA=9<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Energy Crystal<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Refined Iron Rotor Blade|B2=Shaft (Iron)|C2=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />

|A3=Refined Iron Plate|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

||{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Combined Carbon Fibers<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Refined Iron Plate|A2=Carbon Plate|A3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|B1=Advanced Alloy|B2=Machine|B3=Advanced Alloy<br />
|C1=Refined Iron Plate|C2=Carbon Plate|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Advanced Machine}}<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />

It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

<hr />
<div>The Pulling Upgrade is an upgrade for many machines, similar to the [[Ejector Upgrade]] but for inputting items instead of outputting them. It can be used inside any machine which can input items. By default, the Pulling Upgrade will move items from the first valid side it finds. To configure the pulling upgrade, and therefore force it to input only from a particular side, hold it at hand, sneak and right click the side you want the machine to input from. For example, if you sneak right click the top face of a block, the machine you insert the upgrade into will only input from the block above it. This is especially useful when trying to make compact processing setups. Every time the Pulling Upgrade moves an item, it consumes 100 EU. <br />

If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to do this and that... By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a big chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a small chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a smaller chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*7 Rubbers<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Iron Plate<br />

|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Tin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />

|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />

|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

''</center><br />
<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a [[EU storage block]] like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
These tools are optional for now, but you should eventually craft them.<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 8 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 11 Iron Ingots<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 8 Redstone Dusts<br />

<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 6 Bronze Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />

<br />
The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 8 Copper Ingots<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|Output=Electric_Treetap<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />
|OA=16<br />
|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

<br />
==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE-battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Bigger portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack (short for Battery Pack) is worn in the Chest slot, so it cannot be worn at the same time as chest armor. It can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged RE-batteries, and taking a single one out to use it.<br />

Walking around with 60 thousand EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced BatPack]]! A single one of them can carry 600,000 EU, ten times that of the BatPack!<br />

=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with four [[Coil]]s. You can also use a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />

<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, everything will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger storage unit!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type = Extractor<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />

|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Insulated Tin Cable|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=LV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== [[Upgrade]]s ===<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass|B1=Glass|C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Insulated Gold Cable|B2=MV Transformer|C2=Insulated Gold Cable<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|C1=Tin Plate<br />
|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Tin Plate|C3=Tin Plate<br />

|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Dense Tin Plate|C3=Dense Tin Plate<br />
|Output=Ejector Upgrade|OA=9}}<br />
<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
(material list needed)<br />
<br />

|A2=Bucket|B2=Machine|C2=Bucket<br />
|A3=Electric Motor|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Electric Motor<br />
|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />
An example with iron ore being processed:<br />
<br />

|Output2=Tiny Pile of Iron Dust<br />
|OA2=2<br />
|Output3=Stone Dust}}<br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great alternative of the [[Wind Mill]]. It can generate EU much faster than the wind mill at similar material costs. There are different rotors you can put on it. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the batbox in your base!<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
Craft it!<br />
<br />

Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]], bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)!

Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mod. It's balanced.<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has more uses besides processing ores. It is used to extract [[Coal Dust]] out of slag, which you can use to produce more diamonds, process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />

The OD Scanner scans a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner.<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]].<br />

<br />
The Mining Drill is a useful item. It can mine stone fast, and dirt even faster. It's also a hand-held tool, not just an item for the Miner.<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Refined Iron Rotor Blade|B2=Shaft (Iron)|C2=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />

|A3=Refined Iron Plate|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Coal Dust|B2=Coal Dust<br />

||{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Combined Carbon Fibers<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Carbon Plate}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Refined Iron Plate|A2=Carbon Plate|A3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|B1=Advanced Alloy|B2=Machine|B3=Advanced Alloy<br />
|C1=Refined Iron Plate|C2=Carbon Plate|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Advanced Machine}}<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to do this and that... By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a big chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a small chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a smaller chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather underground. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 Iron Ores<br />
*4 Redstone Dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore]]s<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore]]s<br />
*3 Flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you're safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don't smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 crushed ores from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-smelted iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: the Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />

|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use, and they ''will'' be consumed once they run out of durability, just like any other tool.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the Cutter onto the crafting grid to cut them into Copper Wires. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be already prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in ''every'' machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />

|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your chests or your inventory. Put the flints, the cobblestone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the Macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 Iron Ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the Macerator with what? Redstone Dust! Redstone Dust can provide the Macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the Macerator, and then a single piece of Redstone Dust on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The Macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU the machine currently has. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of Redstone Dust into the machine to continue powering it. After your Iron Ores are well-macerated, put 2 Iin Ores into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 Redstone Dusts. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a Furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each Crushed Ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take Iron Ore as an example here. This works with any other ore generated in the Overworld.<br />

<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the [[Generator]], you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 Tin Ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into [[Tin Item Casing]]s. Crafting item casings is the same with other metals. Time to remember this recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining [[Tin Plate]] into [[Tin Cable]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate ''one'' of the Iin Cables as you just need one now.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the Generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials. First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Iron Furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of [[Iron Plate]]s overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a Generator. Place it next to the Macerator, and put Charcoal into the Generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving and rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' Bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contains. ''<s>And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.</s>'' Now there is a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental with the [[Wrench]] and the [[Electric Wrench]], so feel free to crank away! But removing [[EU storage block]]s will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze armor]] as a replacement of Iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for Bronze is to craft the [[Tool Box]]. 2 Tool Boxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 Tool Boxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create Bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Bronze Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Bronze Item Casing<br />

<br />
Now to craft two Tool Boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Bronze Item Casing|B2=Bronze Item Casing|C2=Bronze Item Casing<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />
|Output=Rail<br />
|OA=8}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wooden Planks|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Bronze|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like Iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as Iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting [[Cutter]]s and [[Forge Hammer]]s? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting without tools? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into Plates, Casings, Cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 [[Copper Cable]]s out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 Copper Ingots (8 Copper Ores)<br />
*12 Iron Ingots (6 Iron Ores)<br />
*6 Rubber<br />
*2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 Copper Ingots into Copper Cables, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 Iron into Plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in [[Tutorial:First Steps#Your First Machine: the Macerator|section 2.1]]. <br />
Now you should have all materials needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Metal Former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either Iin or Copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the Cutter, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting Plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and [[Iron Fence]]s from [[Iron Item Casing]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by some IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 5 Iron Ingots (3 Iron Ores)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone Dusts<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 1 Iron Ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using Charcoal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 Copper Cables by extruding a Copper Ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the Electric Furnace next to the cable that is connected to the Metal Former. Don't put it next to the Cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that Cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and an EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 Tin Ingots<br />
*6 Redstone Dusts<br />
*4 Rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the Cable next to the Generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the BatBox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four blocks without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of Rubber by simply smelting [[Sticky Resin]]? That's why we're going to craft the [[Extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]s<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dust<br />
<br />
The Treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your Extractor. With the Extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single Sticky Resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, BatBoxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a BatBox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power tier|Power Tiers]], usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[Transformer]] is needed. The Transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the [[Transformer]].<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 Electronic Circuits, a Generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the Solar Panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''Kinetic Power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 Copper Ingots<br />
* 4 Tin Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone Dusts<br />
<br />
Craft a Generator, a Basic Machine Casing, a Lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a Manual Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the Kinetic Generator. <br />
<br />
First the [[Shaft (Iron)|Iron Shaft]]. This is made by extruding an Iron Block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the Kinetic Generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the Transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the Transformer to a Cable or the BatBox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on! However, do not continue to spam-click when your EU storage is full - excess EU in the Kinetic Generator will make things explode.<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of Copper Cable four blocks long to its right. <s>In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin.</s> Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-block-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 machines unknown. You can see there is a chest in front of the generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />

|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Note: these spaces are to make the pictures in a better position. Please don't delete them :-) BTW, you won't see this in the actual tutorial| ]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE-battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU!<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a EU-storaging block like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Chainsaw ====<br />
<br />
The [[Chainsaw]] is an EU-based version of the axe, shears, and sword, all in one. <br />
<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
{|<br />

The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Small Power Unit<br />
|Output=Electric_Treetap<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Bigger portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack (short for Battery Pack) is worn in the Chest slot, so it cannot be worn at the same time as chest armor. It can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged RE-batteries, and taking a single one out to use it.<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />

|A3=RE Battery|B3= |C3=RE Battery<br />
|Output=Bat-Pack<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 60 thousand EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced BatPack]]! A single one of them can carry 600,000 EU, ten times that of the BatPack!<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with four [[Coil]]s. You can also use a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Universal Fluid Cell|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Fluid Heat Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Iron Casing|B2=Machine|C2=Iron Casing<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, everything will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger storage unit!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type = Extractor<br />
|Top = Gunpowder<br />
|Bottom = RE_Battery_(Charged)<br />

}}<br />
Run three Gunpowder through an Extractor to get three [[Sulfur Dust]].<br />
<br />
You can also produce sulfur from Netherrack.<br />
<br />

|Output=CES Unit<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Coil|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Insulated Tin Cable|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=LV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== [[Upgrade]]s ===<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass|B1=Glass|C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Insulated Gold Cable|B2=MV Transformer|C2=Insulated Gold Cable<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|C1=Tin Plate<br />
|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Tin Plate|C3=Tin Plate<br />

|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Dense Tin Plate|C3=Dense Tin Plate<br />
|Output=Ejector Upgrade|OA=9}}<br />
<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
(material list needed)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Bucket|B2=Machine|C2=Bucket<br />
|A3=Electric Motor|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Electric Motor<br />
|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />
An example with iron ore being processed:<br />
<br />

|Output2=Tiny Pile of Iron Dust<br />
|OA2=2<br />
|Output3=Stone Dust}}<br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great alternative of the [[Wind Mill]]. It can generate EU much faster than the wind mill at similar material costs. There are different rotors you can put on it. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the batbox in your base!<br />

=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
Craft it!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />

=== Advanced Alloy ===<br />
<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]], bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

<br />
You can also make [[Reinforced Glass]], which is more Creeper-resistant than normal Glass:<br />

=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Redstone|A2=Advanced Alloy<br />
|B1=Energy Crystal|B2=Advanced Alloy|B3=Advanced Alloy<br />
|C1=Energy Crystal|C3=Advanced Alloy|C2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|Output=Mining Laser<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
To charge the mining laser, put it in the MFE Unit. Let the laser charge for awhile, then head back to your mine. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click'''. The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mod. It's balanced.<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has more uses besides processing ores. It is used to extract [[Coal Dust]] out of slag, which you can use to produce more diamonds, process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
=== Automated Mining ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], you need 6 [[Iron Plate|Iron Plate]] and a treetap:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|A2=Iron Plate|A3=Iron Plate<br />
|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a working miner, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a more precise, energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=OD Scanner|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
The OD Scanner scans a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner.<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]].<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=RE Battery|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Iron Casing<br />

|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Power Unit|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Drill<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Mining Drill is a useful item. It can mine stone fast, and dirt even faster. It's also a hand-held tool, not just an item for the Miner.<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />

|Type=Macerator<br />

|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Energium Dust|IA=9<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Energy Crystal<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />

|A3=Refined Iron Plate|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Coal Dust<br />

||{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Combined Carbon Fibers<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Carbon Plate}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Refined Iron Plate|A2=Carbon Plate|A3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|B1=Advanced Alloy|B2=Machine|B3=Advanced Alloy<br />
|C1=Refined Iron Plate|C2=Carbon Plate|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Advanced Machine}}<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />

It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to do this and that... By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a big chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a small chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a smaller chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />

A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />

|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather under the surface. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 iron ores<br />
*4 redstone dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore|copper ores]]<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore|tin ores]]<br />
*3 flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you’re safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don’t smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 ore [[dust]] from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-made iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: The Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Iron Plate<br />

{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />

|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the cutter onto the crafting grid cut them into copper wire. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in every machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your world. Put the flints, the cobbelstone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 iron ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the macerator with what? Redstone dust! Redstone dust can provide the macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the macerator, and then a single piece of redstone on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU are left in the machine. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of redstone into the machine to power it longer. After your iron ore is well-macerated, put 2 tin ore into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 redstone dust. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each crushed ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take iron ore as an example here. This works with any other Overworld ore.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the generator, you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 tin ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into item casings. It is the same with other metals. Time to remember that recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining tin plate into tin cables<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate one of the tin cables<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials: First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The iron furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of iron plates overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a generator. Place it next to the macerator, and put charcoal into the generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving or rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust<br />
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust<br />
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=4}}<br />
<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze<br />
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze<br />
|Output=Wrench<br />
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a Machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contained. And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens (now a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental so feel free to crank away! But removing some machines will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power). Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze Armor]] as a replacement of iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for bronze is to craft the [[Toolbox]]. 2 toolboxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 toolboxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
Now to craft two tool boxes:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze<br />

|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting Cutters and Forge Hammers? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into plates, casings, cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 copper wires out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 copper ingots (8 copper ores)<br />
*12 iron ingots (6 iron ores)<br />
*6 rubber<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 copper ingots into copper wires, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 iron into plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in section 2.1. <br />
Now you should have all needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the metal former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either tin or copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the cutting tool, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and Iron Fences from Iron Casings.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone dusts<br />
* 2 copper ingots<br />
* 1 iron ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using (Char)Coal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 copper cables by extruding a copper ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the electric furnace next to the cable that is connected to the metal former. Don't put it next to the cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and a EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three Rechargeable Batteries to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 redstone dusts<br />
*4 rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the cable next to the generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the batbox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four segments without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of rubber by simply smelting sticky resin? That's why we're going to craft the [[extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone dust<br />
<br />
The treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, Batboxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a batbox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power Tier]]s, usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[transformer]] is needed. The transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the transformer.<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Coal/Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 electronic circuits, a generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the solar panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''kinetic power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron ingots<br />
* 6 Copper ingots<br />
* 4 tin ingots<br />
* 2 redstone<br />
<br />
Craft a generator, a basic machine casing, a lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a manual kinetic generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the kinetic generator. <br />
<br />
First the iron shaft. This is made by extruding an iron block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the kinetic generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the transformer to a cable or the batbox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on!<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of copper cable four squares long to its right. In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin. Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-square-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />
|OA=16<br />
|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe<br />
|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Universal Fluid Cell|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Generator|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Geothermal Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

<br />
==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Note: these spaces are to make the pictures in a better position. Please don't delete them :-) BTW, you won't see this in the actual tutorial| ]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_1.png|thumb|left| These pictures show the outside of the base. The nether brick fence walls outside is to prevent the ghast from seeing the player through gaps between the nether brick fence and the Iron door.]]<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_2.png|thumb|center]]<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_outside_3.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE-battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU!<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a EU-storaging block like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />

<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />

The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Bigger portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack (short for Battery Pack) is worn in the Chest slot, so it cannot be worn at the same time as chest armor. It can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged RE-batteries, and taking a single one out to use it.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 60 thousand EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced BatPack]]! A single one of them can carry 600,000 EU, ten times that of the BatPack!<br />

<br />
=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Coal Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with four [[Coil]]s. You can also use a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />

<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, everything will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger storage unit!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type = Extractor<br />
|Top = Gunpowder<br />
|Bottom = RE_Battery_(Charged)<br />
|Output = Sulfur Dust<br />
}}<br />
Run three Gunpowder through an Extractor to get three [[Sulfur Dust]].<br />
<br />
You can also produce sulfur from Netherrack.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />

Assemble three [[Advanced RE-Battery|Advanced RE-Batteries]], then use them to build the CES Unit.<br />
<br />

|A3=Bronze Plate|B3=Bronze Plate|C3=Bronze Plate<br />
|Output=CES Unit<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Coil|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Insulated Tin Cable|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=LV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== [[Upgrade]]s ===<br />
<br />
==== Transformer Upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery [[Upgrade#Transformer Upgrade|Transformer Upgrade]]!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glass|B1=Glass|C1=Glass<br />
|A2=Insulated Gold Cable|B2=MV Transformer|C2=Insulated Gold Cable<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the power tire that the machine can accept by 1 per upgrade. You can stack more transformer upgrades for higher voltage tier.<br />
<br />
==== Ejector upgrade ====<br />
<br />
Feel bored placing compressed air cells into the compressor? Craft the [[Upgrade#Ejector Upgrade|Ejector Upgrade]]! This upgrade can eject any products that a machine contains. If you need a massive quantity of this upgrade, compress tin to get [[Dense Tin Plate]], and craft the upgrade with dense tin plate to save a few pistons.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|C1=Tin Plate<br />
|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Tin Plate|C3=Tin Plate<br />
|Output=Ejector Upgrade<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Dense Tin Plate|C1=Dense Tin Plate<br />
|B2=Piston<br />
|A3=Dense Tin Plate|C3=Dense Tin Plate<br />
|Output=Ejector Upgrade|OA=9}}<br />
<br />
Place the compressor next to the blast furnace for this upgrade to work. Set the upgrade's direction to the direction in which the side of the compressor is next to the blast furnace by (shift+) right-clicking it on a block. Put another non-directional upgrade in the blast furnace to eject empty fluid cells back to the compressor.<br />
<br />
=== Further down into the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
You still want to get more out of your ores? It's time to do that! Do note that the Ore Washing Plant need '''LOTS''' of EU to run. <br />
<br />
The [[Ore Washing Plant]] can purify the ores one step further to get purified ores with 1000 mB Water and some EU. You can get tiny piles of ore dusts out of that.<br />
<br />
(material list needed)<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Bucket|B2=Machine|C2=Bucket<br />
|A3=Electric Motor|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Electric Motor<br />
|Output=Ore Washing Plant<br />
}}<br />
<br />
An ore washing plant needs water to work. Place any water container in the top left slot to add water, or use a pump with a fluid ejector upgrade to add water automatically. Of course the empty container will be returned.<br />
<br />
An example with iron ore being processed:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Ore Washing Plant<br />

|Bottom=Bucket<br />
|Water=1000<br />

|Output1=Purified Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|Output2=Tiny Pile of Iron Dust<br />
|OA2=2<br />
|Output3=Stone Dust}}<br />
<br />
=== Wind Power ===<br />
<br />
The [[Wind Turbine]] is a great alternative of the [[Wind Mill]]. It can generate EU much faster than the wind mill at similar material costs. There are different rotors you can put on it. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Wind Turbine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Wood|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wood|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wood|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Wood Rotor Blade}}<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Rotors|Wood Rotor]] lasts 3 IRL hours inside the Wind Turbine and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a [[Kinetic_Wind_Generator#Spacing|wingspan]] of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 logs and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
The Wind Turbine outputs [[KU|Kinetic Energy]], measured in KU. To convert [[KU]] into [[EU]], you also need to craft a [[Kinetic Generator]]. You should be familiar with this if you have used the [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] in the early days.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing|<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing|<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Wind Turbine and the Kinetic Generator next to each other at y=160 (use ladders to get up there) and place the rotor inside. Make sure that the output side of the Wind Turbine (marked with a bigger white circle than the other side) and the input side of the kinetic generator (marked with a small white dot) is in contact. If the rotor is spinning, the kinetic generator will then start producing EU. The kinetic generator have a power tier of 3, meaning that it sends out a maximum of 512 EU/p. Therefore, when wiring it to your base, don't forget to connect a MV transformer and a LV transformer before connecting the wire to the batbox in your base!<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine that can be used to can food on "Canning Mode". It can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]]. To change modes, click the button that says "Canning" on default. Click that button again to change into other modes.<br />
Craft it!<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />

<br />
Now you have yourself plenty of [[Advanced Alloy]], bane of Creepers (also good for advanced machines, as you will learn later on)! One of the first things you can do with this Advanced Alloy is make yourself a [[Composite Armor Vest]]. This is as good as an Iron Chestplate, but lasts even longer than a Diamond Chestplate.<br />

=== Mining Laser ===<br />
<br />
''Uhh...'' So we've got some energy. I want to '''MINE''', but I don't like tapping my toes waiting for that Miner to get everything. Time to craft something hot and shiny: the [[Mining Laser]]!<br />
<br />
Compress 4 [[Advanced Alloy]]s, craft another two energy crystals, and an [[Advanced Circuit]].<br><br />
<br />
'''It's very expensive!''' <br />
* I know! But if you want mine with style...<br><br />
'''When will we finish that laser?'''<br><br />
*Now! <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
To charge the mining laser, put it in the MFE Unit. Let the laser charge for awhile, then head back to your mine. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-click'''. The firing modes can be found here: [[Mining Laser]].<br />
Every firing mode has advantages and disadvantages. The default firing mode is the mining mod. It's balanced.<br />
Now, use your weapon, mine resources, because soon we will start a new chapter. Listen to a good music, chop down trees, get some cobblestone, manage your farm. Please, '''''RELAX'''''.<br />
<br />
=== Completion of the [[Ore processing|ore processing chain]] ===<br />
<br />
Actually, the thermal centrifuge has more uses besides processing ores. It is used to extract [[Coal Dust]] out of slag, which you can use to produce more diamonds, process depleted nuclear fuels, and more. Similar to the blast furnace, it needs pre-heating before it can process items. It runs directly on EU.<br />

<br />
=== Automated Mining ===<br />
<br />
Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], you need 6 [[Iron Plate|Iron Plate]] and a treetap:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a working miner, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a more precise, energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />

}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
The OD Scanner scans a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner.<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]].<br />
<br />
<br />

|Output=Mining Drill<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Mining Drill is a useful item. It can mine stone fast, and dirt even faster. It's also a hand-held tool, not just an item for the Miner.<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
<br />

|Top=Energium Dust|IA=9<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Energy Crystal<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />

|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />

<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

This tutorial is regularly updated. You can see the first version of it here: <span class="pops">[http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]</span><br />
(texture pack used: <span class="pops">[http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=163329&sid=cdc70e1f885922f1354f76755c7c868d Soartex]</span>).<br />
<br />
'''Important: This tutorial is made for [[v2.X]] of IndustrialCraft².'''<br />
<br />
If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to do this and that... By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right?<br />
<br />
If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a big chance that your IC2 version is too old. There is a small chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a smaller chance that you have actually discovered a bug.<br />
<br />
== Basic steps in a new world ==<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Now that you have downloaded and installed the mod and generated a new map, you really don't know where to begin. Like all other maps you begin in, gather some wood, then some cobblestone, and set up a base for your first night, just as how you would do in vanilla survival.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
Here is an example of a base with some decorative flowers. In the first days, having an pretty base is not recommended, as it will be much easier to do this in late game. <br />
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode; the creepers can blow up what you built. Lighting up wherever you go with torches is always a good thing to do.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br />
<br />
Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. <br />
<br />
In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them.<br />
<br />
Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. The next part will introduce some new things.<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
== First Ingredients and Machines ==<br />
<br />
Now, you have a little basic survival base. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty [[Crops]], which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow [[Weed]] after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a [[Weeding Trowel]], which needs iron. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. For the hydration of farmland, use a natural water source if you can to save the iron needed to craft a bucket.<br />
<br />
If you have decided to go with the IC2 crops, take some wood and create some sticks for [[Crops]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

<br />
[[File:Rubber_tree_farm_demo.png|thumb|right|An example of a rubber farm consisted of 25 rubber trees. A farm with the size of this is enough to provide plenty of rubber as long as you don't build something like a huge rubber trampoline. Note that in this farm there is a 4 block gap between the trees.]]<br />
<br />
Take these, and place one on each block of farmland. Go get some Wheat seeds by punching grass and then plant them. When your wheat is ready to harvest, you can right-click to harvest it and wheat seedlings will remain, saving you from having to use more seeds to replant! There's a lot more you can do with crops in IC2, but this will help get you basic food to survive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now, you need to gather [[Rubber]]. Rubber is produced by smelting [[Sticky Resin]] in a furnace, and sticky resin can be collected by right clicking a [[Resin Hole]] on a [[Rubber Tree]] with a [[Treetap]]. While your crops are growing, go to a forest or a swamp biome to find a [[Rubber Tree]]. Harvest the tree, and take at least 1 sapling back to your base. With that sapling you can start a rubber tree farm. 3 to 5 rubber trees are enough for now, but more will be always beneficial in the long term. So just plant the tree, destroy the leaves to get the sapling back, and continue on until you have around 20 trees. That should be enough in the long term. Also, start a manual birch tree farm, as you main source of wood. In the meantime, you should always harvest your wheat and craft them into bread, to prepare enough food for mining. Always keep a stack of logs and half a stack of charcoal in your chest if you can. <br />
<br />

|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=Treetap<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Use 5 Wooden Planks to craft a [[Treetap]]. You will need more of them later, but one is enough for now. It doesn't have to be oak wood planks that works, any wood plank (including some of the modded ones) should work, as long as it is registered as plankWood in the oredict.<br />
<br />
Now, extract 7 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|Rubber Trees]]. You can leave the rubber in the furnace, as it is needed later.<br />
<br />
For now, gather torches, stone pickaxes, a iron pickaxe and food, for you will have to go to the center of the earth! The second thing you must gather is Redstone; that next-to useless red powder you will have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must have a bad spawn point if you don’t find any along the way. The iron pickaxe is a luxury by now, so only use it when it is really needed, like mining redstone ores.<br />
[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all but three types of ores you can gather, from left to right:<br />
<br />
*Gold. It's much more useful in IC2 than it was in vanilla Minecraft, especially in its dust form. It's involved in many mid-tech machines. You should mine it - it will become more useful in the future.<br />
<br />
*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.<br />
<br />
*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as [[cable]]s, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.<br />
<br />
*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.<br />
<br />
*Coal. Its value was increased, so if you want torches or furnace fuel, use Charcoal. Use Coal for other, more important things. [[Dusts|Coal Dust]] is used to build [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]; it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|nano-suit]] use it. In other worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future [[Nuclear Reactor|nuclear reactor]] or to craft a [[Secret:Nuke|nuke]] to blow up a mountain. Besides that, it is not involved in other recipes. It is rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather it.<br />
<br />
[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]<br />
<br />
Further away in the cave:<br />
<br />
*Redstone: Redstone is involved in most parts of IC crafting, especially the basic ones. We need some for crafting the first part of a machine, and later, other things.<br />
<br />
*Diamond: Ha, the diamond. Everybody runs after them. Only get 3 of them and keep them in a chest; leave the rest of the diamond ores. It is not beneficial to mine diamond ores without a fortune pickaxe unless it is really necessary. We will craft something awesome with them(Not the vanilla diamond pickaxe!). You should know that you can produce diamonds with coal. This will be shown later. There is something else to do with them other than wasting them in one-use tools or armor.<br />
<br />
*Lapis lazuli: Not shown here, but you know it. Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find it now, just keep it until you have a need to use it.<br />
<br />
*Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Also, it can be used to create a nether portal without a diamond pickaxe. Keep in mind where some lava lakes are to go back to later.<br />
<br />
*[[Lead]]: Not shown here. You won't need lead for a quite a while, and even then only in small quantities. It's primary used in nuclear reactors, but is also used in intermediate batteries.<br />
<br />
*Obsidian: You need some Obsidian to go in the Nether because you will need some Glowstone Dust for mid-tech machines (alternatively, Glowstone Dust can be crafted using Gold Dust and Redstone Dust). Obsidian is also a part of the process of producing Diamonds out of Coal.<br />
<br />
Now you know what you can gather under the surface. To continue, you need to have the following materials:<br />
*27 iron ores<br />
*4 redstone dusts<br />
*3 [[Copper Ore|copper ores]]<br />
*3 [[Tin Ore|tin ores]]<br />
*3 flint<br />
<br />
An alternate route is available: If you REALLY can't get that much iron but you are willing to spend 5 extra redstone dusts, you can save yourself 4 iron ore and a tin ore. HAYO!<br />
<br />
Now that you’re safe at your base, smelt exactly 27 iron ore, 3 copper ore and 3 tin ore. <br />
For the alternate route: smelt exactly 19 iron ore, and 3 copper ore. Don't smelt the tin ore. <br />
<br />
Be patient and don’t smelt any more ore than listed above. Soon you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the [[Macerator]], which will give you 2 ore [[dust]] from one ore and other stuff which will be explained later.<br />
However, before you build a Macerator, you need basic crafting tools in IC2: The [[Forge Hammer]] and the [[Cutter]]. Grab 2 sticks and your freshly-made iron ingots to craft those tools.<br />
<br />

<br />
Why are there two recipes for the forge hammer? Because it is SYMMETRICAL! HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Your First Machine: The Macerator ===<br />
<br />
Now that you have your tools ready, it's time to craft your first machine! Take ''all'' of your iron inogts and copper ingots, and craft all of them into iron and copper plates. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting_Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Forge_Hammer|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />

|A2=|B2=|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Copper Plate<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Note that these recipes are shapeless, meaning that you can put the two ingredients anywhere you like, and you will still get the same output. Your crafting tool will not be consumed, but they will take 1 damage per use.<br />
<br />
You remember the rubber that you have smelted? Take it, and we will craft some [[Insulated Copper Cable]]s. Place the Copper Plates and the cutter onto the crafting grid cut them into copper wire. Then combine your wire with Rubber to insulate it. These recipes are also shapeless. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Copper Plate|B2=Cutter<br />
|Output=Copper Cable|OA=2<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Rubber|B1=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. If you have followed this tutorial, all materials should be prepared by now. Electronic Circuits are the basic circuit boards used in every machine. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Redstone<br />
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Electronic Circuit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Basic Machine Casing]]. Just take 8 [[Iron Plate]]s and draw a box with them in the crafting interface.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|B1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Machine<br />
}}<br />
<br />
FINALLY we can craft our first machine. We just need 3 more flint and 2 cobblestone. They should be lying somewhere in your world. Put the flints, the cobbelstone, the Machine Casing, the Electronic Circuit on the crafting table and '''TADA'''!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint<br />
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone<br />
|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Macerator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. You placed down the macerator, put your ores into it, but you are scratching your head thinking WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING? Because to use it, you need [[EU|ELECTRICITY]], made by a [[generator|GENERATOR]]. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
'''Alternate route'''<br />
<br />
Still remember there is an alternate route? This is where things will start to be a little different. Skip this section if you have smelted 27 iron ores at the beginning.<br />
<br />
What should you do with the 4 iron ores that you didn't smelt before? Macerate it! But power the macerator with what? Redstone dust! Redstone dust can provide the macerator (or any other machine) with 800 EU. Put your 4 iron ore into the top left slot of the macerator, and then a single piece of redstone on the bottom left slot. BOOM! The macerator magically starts to work! By hovering your mouse over the lightning icon, you can see how many EU are left in the machine. If a machine runs out of EU, it will stop working. When there is less than 400 EU, put another piece of redstone into the machine to power it longer. After your iron ore is well-macerated, put 2 tin ore into it and repeat the same process. After all of them are complete, you should use 5 redstone dust. <br />
<br />
Now you have 8 Crushed Iron Ore and 4 Crushed Tin Ore, throw them into a furnace to smelt them. The magic appears: each crushed ore is smelted into an ingot! You've got double the ingots out of a single ore block! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Take iron ore as an example here. This works with any other Overworld ore.<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Iron Ore<br />
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore<br />
|OA=2}}<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
=== Generator ===<br />
<br />
Before making the generator, you also need to craft some items. <br />
<br />
Take 3 tin ingots, first craft all of them into plates, them craft '''only 2''' of them into item casings. It is the same with other metals. Time to remember that recipe.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|Output=Tin Plate<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=2|Output=Tin_Casing<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Craft the remaining tin plate into tin cables<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Plate|B1=Forge Hammer<br />
|OA=3|Output=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Insulate one of the tin cables<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Tin Cable|B1=Rubber<br />
|Output=Insulated Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft a [[RE Battery]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=Tin_Casing|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin_Casing<br />
|A3=Tin_Casing|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin_Casing<br />
|Output=RE Battery<br />
}}<br />
<br />
There. Now you have crafted one of the main ingredients of the generator. <br />
<br />
There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]], but both actually requires the same amount of raw materials: First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Basic Machine Casing]], and a Furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], 3 [[Iron Plate]]s, and an [[Iron Furnace]].<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=<br />
|linkB2=|linkC2=<br />
|linkB3=<br />
|Output=Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The iron furnace is crafted as following: <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Both recipes cost the same amount of iron plates overall, so take your pick. <br />
<br />
Now you have got yourself a generator. Place it next to the macerator, and put charcoal into the generator to generate EU from it. Remember only to put in fuel when needing EU - otherwise precious EU is likely to get wasted.<br />
<br />
=== The Power of Bronze ===<br />
<br />
Now you have a small base that allows you to get twice as many ingots for every mining run. Unfortunately, you can’t move any of the machines. If you mine them with pickaxes, they will only drop a machine casing. Then you'll have to rebuild it from scrap.<br />
<br />
You can craft an optional engi-friendly tool dedicated for moving or rotating machines: the [[Bronze Wrench]]. The Bronze Wrench is made from [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. Your little voice is saying: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is a man-made alloy that is made from '''COPPER and TIN'''. You need to use a Macerator to grind Copper and Tin Ingots into dusts, then take the dust and mix them in a 3:1 ratio. This Bronze Dust recipe is shapeless. Note that although you can ''create'' bronze, there is no way in vanilla IC2 to separate those metals once they have been mixed. Think carefully before you do that!<br />

<br />
To smelt Bronze Dust into ingots, put them in a furnace.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Electro Furnace<br />
|Top=Bronze Dust<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Bronze}}<br />
<br />
You'll need six Bronze Ingots to make a Bronze Wrench:<br />
<br />

|Output-link=Bronze Wrench}}<br />
<br />
Using a Bronze Wrench is incredibly easy: just right-click on a Machine and its ''primary'' side will rotate to that face; shift-right-click to rotate it to the opposite side you clicked; right-click the same face a second time and the machine will be removed; be careful: In some versions of IC2, if the wrenched machine isn't empty, you will lose everything it contained. And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'' (about a 20% chance of failure), and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft; it's unlucky, but it happens (now a 100% success rate in IC2 Experimental so feel free to crank away! But removing some machines will cause them to lose 20% of their stored power). Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''. However, if you upgrade your wrench into an [[Electric Wrench]], and toggle it to loss-less mode (this mode removed since IC2 v2.3.222), you are guaranteed to get your machines back no matter what, at a cost of 9000 EU per operation.<br />
<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Tools|Bronze tools]].<br />
<br />
Bronze can also be used to craft [[Bronze Chestplate|Bronze Armor]] as a replacement of iron armor. It will not be introduced here. Click on the link for more information.<br />
<br />
Another important use for bronze is to craft the [[Toolbox]]. 2 toolboxes are needed to craft the [[Metal Former]], which will be introduced in the next section. It is better to craft them now.<br />
Materials you need to craft 2 toolboxes:<br />
*6 copper dusts<br />
*2 tin dusts<br />
*2 chests<br />
<br />
First, mix the dusts to create bronze. Then smelt them to get ingots. Remember how to craft item casings? You need to craft 10 [[Bronze Item Casing]]s. In case you have already forgotten them, they are shown below.<br />
<br />

<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A3=|B3=|C3=<br />
|Output=Tool Box<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Other uses of Bronze ====<br />
<br />
Besides the uses mentioned above, bronze can also be used as a replacement for Iron. <br />
<br />
{|<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze<br />
|B2=Stick<br />

|A3=Cobblestone|B3=Redstone|C3=Cobblestone<br />
|Output=Piston<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Also, Bronze can be crafted into [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material_2|tools]] and [[Recipes_and_Resources_(experimental)#Material|armor]]. Bronze tools performs exactly the same like iron tools, but their durability is 100 point higher than that of iron. Bronze armor is the same as iron ones, with the only difference of names and textures.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Metal Former ===<br />
<br />
Worried about having to keep crafting Cutters and Forge Hammers? Wondering if there is a machine that can do all this crafting? Perhaps it's time for you built a [[Metal Former]]. It can craft metal into plates, casings, cables, and some other miscellaneous things. Most importantly, it can craft 3 copper wires out of a single ingot, while with your crafting tools you can only craft 2.<br />
<br />
Materials needed: <br />
<br />
*15 copper ingots (8 copper ores)<br />
*12 iron ingots (6 iron ores)<br />
*6 rubber<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Craft all 15 copper ingots into copper wires, and insulate 6 of them. Then craft only 9 iron into plates. You'll need to make three Copper [[Coil]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then craft an electronic circuit and a basic machine casing. If you have already forgot those recipes, they are in section 2.1. <br />
Now you should have all needed to craft a metal former.<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_1.png|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Electronic Circuit|C1=<br />
|A2=Tool Box|B2=Machine|C2=Tool Box<br />
|A3=Coil|B3=Coil|C3=Coil<br />
|Output=Metal Former<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the metal former according to the picture on the right. It can be mirrored to the left. The cables can be either tin or copper, or a mix of them.. You might want to craft either of them if you don't have some left-over cables. Remember to insulate them: Uninsulated cables will electrify you if you get too close to them, causing unwanted but easily avoidable damage.<br />
<br />
The Metal Former has 3 modes: Rolling, Extruding and Cutting. Rolling takes the place of the Forge Hammer; turning Ingots into Plates and Plates into Casings. Cutting replaces the cutting tool, though it has no real use, as the Extruding mode converts ingots directly into 3 to 4 cables (instead of 2 to 3 from cutting plates, amount also depends on material, higher tier materials make more cables). The Extruding mode also makes most of the miscellaneous stuff, like Shafts for use in kinetic machines and Iron Fences from Iron Casings.<br />
<br />
=== Iron Furnace ===<br />
<br />
One of the first IC2-related things you'll probably want to create is an [[Iron Furnace]]. This is an upgrade over the regular Furnace from vanilla Minecraft (a.k.a. Stone Furnace by IC2 users). It operates faster and uses fuel more efficiently. Click on the link for details.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Iron Plate|C1=<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|B2=|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Iron Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you have only crafted one of them, don't place it down yet. The Iron Furnace is an important part of making an [[Electric Furnace]] in the next step.<br />
<br />
=== Electric Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 6 rubber<br />
* 4 Redstone dusts<br />
* 2 copper ingots<br />
* 1 iron ingot<br />
* 1 Iron Furnace<br />
<br />
The [[Electric Furnace]] will allow you to smelt using electricity instead of using (Char)Coal. This is the thing you'll use your Iron Furnace to craft. Remember that you can craft 3 copper cables by extruding a copper ingot in the [[Metal Former]]?<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit<br />
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone<br />
|Output=Electric Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|Circuit]] to craft, but you are warned that it would be everywhere.<br />
<br />
You can place the electric furnace next to the cable that is connected to the metal former. Don't put it next to the cable directly connected to the generator. Something else will replace that cable later. Like the vanilla furnace, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and a EU source in the bottom. It's 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy wasted. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming EU.<br />
<br />
You now have 1 [[Metal Former]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]], and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right. <br />
<br />
=== BatBox ===<br />
<br />
Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify your operation. You'll need three Rechargeable Batteries to build it. <br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 redstone dusts<br />
*4 rubber<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_2.png|thumb|right|Without the cable]]<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery<br />
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=BatBox<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Replace the cable next to the generator with the BatBox that you just crafted. Make sure the output side, marked with a white dot, faces the cable. You can open a creative mode world to test how to place the batbox in the correct direction. Don't make the cable longer than four blocks to avoid wasting energy. If you need to change the direction of the BatBox's output facing, you'll need to use the Bronze [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Machine_placement_3.png|thumb|right|With the cable]]<br />
<br />
BatBoxes can be daisy-chained to provide more EU storage. They can also be used to break up lengths of cable to avoid energy loss. The maximum length you can have of Tin Cable and copper cable is four before it loses 1 [[EU]]/t. By placing a BatBox at the end of four blocks of Cables, you can then go another four segments without energy loss. Keep these ideas in mind as you expand your base.<br />
<br />
=== Extractor ===<br />
<br />
Thinking it is a waste of rubber by simply smelting sticky resin? That's why we're going to craft the [[extractor]]!<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 rubber<br />
* 4 [[Treetap]]<br />
* 2 Copper Ingots<br />
* 2 Redstone dust<br />
<br />
The treetap used in this recipe ''must'' be a new one, i.e. have a full durability of 16.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap<br />
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap<br />
|Output=Extractor<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Now, extend your cable by a block and then place down your extractor. With the extractor, you an get 3 rubber out of a single sticky resin. Awesome!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Extractor<br />
|Top=Resin|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Rubber|OA=3}}<br />
<br />
From now on [[Rubber]] will be no longer included in material lists as it is easy to produce them in mass quantities. Always keep a stack of them in your chest.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction to the IC2 E-net ===<br />
<br />
In IC2, a E-net is a series of blocks involved in the production, transportation and usage of EU. EU is produced by [[Generator (disambiguation)|Generator]]s, transported in [[EU/p|packet form]] by [[Cable]]s, [[Transformer]]s, [[EU storage block]]s or in item form by different kinds of Batteries, and consumed by mostly machines. The size of a [[EU/p|packet]] determines the voltage (rounded up, available voltages are 32 EU/p, 128 EU/p, 512 EU/p, 2048 EU/p and 8192 EU/p), and a voltage too high can melt cables and blow up machines. EU storage blocks have a certain output voltage, and only outputs if it has enough EU stored for a single packet unless it powers the machines directly. For example, Batboxes, which sends out 32 EU per packet, won't output anything unless it has 32 EU. What is also worth noticing is that EU storage blocks can accept any packet sizes equal or lower to its own output packet size without exploding, meaning that a [[CESU]] can accept power from a batbox, but not vice versa. <br />
<br />
Machines, batteries and electric tools each have their own [[Power Tier]]s, usually labelled in the tooltips. Power tier is just another name for voltage, or EU per packet. Since packets don't apply to items, it is called "Power Tier" instead. Tier 1 refers to 32 EU/p, tier 2 refers to 128 EU/p, tier 3 refers to 512 EU/p... The tier for machines decides the maximum acceptable packet size, which exceeding that packet size makes machines explode, just like EU storage blocks. Batteries can only be put into machines that have a equal or higher power tier, not the lower ones. For example, a tier 2 battery can be placed into a tier 2 machine or a tier 3 machine, but not a tier 1 machine. The tier of electric tools decide which EU storage blocks/generators can power them. They can only be charged in an EU storage block that has an equal or higher power tier. <br />
<br />
To increase or decrease voltage, a [[transformer]] is needed. The transformer will be introduced later, as you don't need to know or use it now. <br />
<br />
Currently, you are on LV (low voltage). You will gradually progress upwards the voltage tiers, and only by then will you need the transformer.<br />
<br />
=== Alternative Power Sources ===<br />
<br />
==== Solar Power ====<br />
<br />
An option for renewable energy is to add a [[Solar Panel]] to reduce your Coal/Charcoal usage. Keep in mind that Solar Panels require an unobstructed view of the sky and they only work in the daytime.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 13 Rubber<br />
* 10 Iron Ingots<br />
* 6 redstone dusts<br />
* 4 copper ingots<br />
* 3 glass<br />
* 3 coal (not Charcoal!)<br />
* 3 tin ingots<br />
<br />
Craft 2 electronic circuits, a generator, and macerate 3 coal into 3 coal dusts in the [Macerator]. Then you can craft the solar panel.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|Output=Solar Panel<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Connect your Solar Panel (with or without a cable) to the top of the BatBox. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator. The downside is that these are pretty expensive, but just one or two helps immensely early on. <br />
<br />
==== Manual Power ====<br />
<br />
The [[Manual Kinetic Generator]] allows you to generate some ''kinetic power'' (Unit: KU, short for kinetic unit) by simply standing there clicking on it over and over again. You will gradually use your hunger bar in this process.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 31 Iron ingots<br />
* 6 Copper ingots<br />
* 4 tin ingots<br />
* 2 redstone<br />
<br />
Craft a generator, a basic machine casing, a lever, 2 [[Tin Item Casing]]s, 2 [[Coil]]s, and 6 [[Iron Item Casing]]s. <br />
<br />
Craft a manual kinetic generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Machine|B1=Lever<br />
|Output=Manual Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Kinetic power can't be directly used, but you can convert it into Electric Units with the [[Kinetic Generator]]. But you still need to craft something else before you can craft the kinetic generator. <br />
<br />
First the iron shaft. This is made by extruding an iron block in the [[Metal Former]]. <br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron|B1=Iron|C1=Iron<br />
|A2=Iron|B2=Iron|C2=Iron<br />
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron<br />
|Output=Iron Block<br />
}}<br />
{{Grid/Metal Former<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Input=Iron Block<br />
|Output=Shaft (Iron)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Then the [[Electric Motor]], You need two Tin Casings, one Iron Ingot, and two Copper [[Coil]]s:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Coil|B2=Iron|C2=Coil<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Electric Motor<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can craft the kinetic generator.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Generator|B2=Electric Motor|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Iron Casing|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Kinetic Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the Kinetic Generator next to the Manual Kinetic Generator so that the input face (look for that Iron Shaft in the middle of a dark hole) is in contact with the Manual Kinetic Generator. Now make sure the output face of the Kinetic Generator (just a completely black circle) is in contact with the high voltage side (indicated by 5 dots) of a [[LV Transformer]. Set the transformer to fixed step down mode and connect the low voltage side (indicated by 1 dot) of the transformer to a cable or the batbox. Now you can produce about 13 EU/t by just standing there and holding the USE button (default: right mouse button). This setup is great for [[Charge Pad (BatBox)|Batbox Chargepads]] early on!<br />
<br />
==== Plant Power ====<br />
<br />
See [[Biofuel energy production]] for more details on how to turn green things into EU. HAYO!<br />
<br />
=== Etcetera ===<br />
<br />
In this image you can see the BatBox, with the Generator to its left, and a length of copper cable four squares long to its right. In the current version of IC2, Tin Cable has taken the place where Copper Cable used to be in the cable hierarchy, so pretend that cable is Tin. Up to four machines can then be placed directly in front of the cable. Going up from the BatBox is a four-square-long cable that connects to a second BatBox, and then from there to either a Solar Panel or a wind generator of sorts using Tin Cables.<br />

<br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br />
<br />
You can see the inside of a little base, 3 Macerators, 3 Electric Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view, and 2 unknown machines. You can see there is a chest in front of there is a generator to gather the charged batteries when the player stalk outdoors.<br />

<br />
=== Universal Fluid Cell ===<br />
<br />
The [[Universal Fluid Cell]] is a stackable container capable of carrying fluids, similar to the vanilla bucket. It is also used in many crafting recipes of fluid-related machines.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Glass|B2=Glass|C2=Glass<br />
|A3=Glass|B3=Glass|C3=Glass<br />
|OA=16<br />
|Output=Glass Pane}}<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Tin Item Casing<br />
|A2=Tin Item Casing|B2=Glass Pane|C2=Tin Item Casing<br />
|B3=Tin Item Casing<br />
|Output=Universal Fluid Cell}}<br />
<br />
With the freakin' awesome fluid cell, you can walk around with 1728 buckets of lava in your inventory, instead of a mere 27 buckets. The practical use of this will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
=== Pump ===<br />
<br />
Remember that lava lake you found waaaaay back when you made your first trip in the mines? Now it's time to take advantage of it with a [[Pump]]. The pump can fill buckets or [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s for us.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
*15 iron ingots<br />
*8 tin ingots<br />
*6 glass<br />
*2 copper ingots<br />
*2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />
Now, we will craft it! We'll need to make 2 [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s, some mining pipes, a treetap, and the basic stuff to craft it:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|C1=Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Treetap|C3=Iron Plate<br />

|A2=Universal Fluid Cell|B2=Machine|C2=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|A3=Mining Pipe|B3=Treetap|C3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Pump<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the pump directly over a lava lake and place a chest right next to it (it has to touch). Place some empty buckets or universal fluid cells in the chest and power the pump. It will start filling them up. Take 10 Universal Fluid Cells/buckets of lava and bring them to your base. Choose a good place and make a nether portal with them by placing water next to lava. If you don't know, this will cause lava to solidify into obsidian.<br />
<br />
=== Geothermal Power ===<br />
<br />
Once you've acquired a Pump, you'll have the option of making a [[Geothermal Generator]]. This generator isn't renewable like solar or wind based ones, but it's a great alternative or supplement to Coal/Charcoal. A Geothermal Generator generates energy from lava. Building one of these is a good option after you've created the nether portal, as there are huge lava lakes that generates at y=32 and below in the nether.<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
* 9 iron ingots<br />
* 7 tin ingots<br />
* 4 glass<br />
* 2 glass pane (you should have some left when crafting the pump)<br />
* 2 redstone dusts<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Generator|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Geothermal Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you didn't craft enough Universal Fluid Cells, you can also use [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bucket Bucket] for gathering lava. IC2 added a tin based recipe while the vanilla recipe is still usable. <br />

<br />
==== Gathering Lava in the Nether ====<br />
<br />
Before you actually go into the nether, you need to prepare some materials to build a basic base in the Nether to defend yourself against hostile mobs (mainly the ghast). <br />
Materials needed:<br />
*5 stacks of cobblestone<br />
*1 stack of wood<br />
*1 stack of "smooth" stone<br />
*1 flint and steel<br />
*1 iron door (at least)<br />
<br />
'''An optional but very helpful step:'''<br />
<br />
If you have access to the save file of the world that you are currently playing in, create a copy of your world after you have created the nether portal, but you haven't gone to the nether yet. In the copy of your world, switch to creative or spectator mode and enter the nether portal. Fly around in the nether to get a rough idea of the landscape that you are going to spawn in. Most importantly, go to find the closest lava lake. Remember how you can go to there, by ladders and tunnels, by staircases or by simply walking on near-flat land if your portal generates next to the lava lake.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Once you feel that you are ready, go into the nether portal! If you are playing on a server/multiplayer world, look for hostile mobs as soon as you spawned in the Nether. Presence of hostile mobs when you have just spawned indicates the presence of a player within 128 blocks of the mob you spotted. However, if you don't spot any, that doesn't mean there must be no players around. This can happen when the server/multiplayer world has a mob switch that is turned on, and a player have come into the nether not long enough that no mobs spawned where you can see them. <br />
<br />
Now that you are in the nether, you need to quickly build a small base out of cobblestone that completely surrounds the nether portal, even if it is as simple and ugly as a ''matchbox''. Cobblestone can't be destroyed by fireballs shot by ghasts. Don't put down any windows yet, for glass can be destroyed easily by ghasts. There will be information about how to do that on the next few paragraphs. Remember to add an iron door to go out!<br />
<br />
[[File:Lava_flow_blocked.png|thumb|right|In this picture you can see the lava completely being blocked by cobblestone. For demonstration purposes the base isn't built in the picture. You should build it to protect the nether portal. You can also see a cobblestone passageway to the lava lake nearby.]]<br />
<br />
Then, block any flowing lava with cobblestone, so that you don't accidentally walk into them. Next, replace the netherrack around your base with cobblestone. This is to prevent the ghast from creating holes right out of your door. <br />
<br />
After you've done with all these, go to mine 4 to 6 stacks of netherrrack. Go back to the overworld and smelt them. Then craft them into nether brick blocks. You will need them <br />
to craft Nether brick fences as your windows in the nether base. Go to the nether, craft some Nether Brick Fences, and replace some of the walls with the fences. Now you have got "windows", and your basic base is finished.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nether_base_inside_1.png|thumb|left|This picture shows the inside of a nether base. The two trapdoors near the cauldron is to align the player so that the player can fall easier into the cauldron. Cauldrons can hold water in the nether, and can extinguish the fire on the player]]<br />

<br />
Now you can finally go on to collecting a lava. You need a pump, and an RE-battery to do that. You should have already crafted a pump. <br />
<br />
To collect lava, place the pump with its side that has a hole facing lava. Put the RE-battery inside and it should be sucking lava for you. Put in some empty Universal Fluid Cells and it will automatically fill them up. Bring those lava cells back to the overworld, put them in the Geothermal Generator, and you have got a free source of EU!<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Electric tools ===<br />
<br />
Tired of making pickaxe after pickaxe? What about an EU-based version?<br />
<br />
All electric tools use EU instead of durability. After using, you just need to recharge it by placing it either in a generator or in a EU-storaging block like the Batbox.<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
==== Mining Drill ====<br />
<br />
The [[Mining Drill]] is the EU-based version of the pickaxe.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Electric Wrench ====<br />
<br />
Upgrade your Bronze Wrench to an [[Electric Wrench]]! This is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />

The Electric Wrench works the same way as the bronze wrench. It's a lot of work to make, but using it doesn't decrease its durability. Just be careful not to drop it in lava.<br />
<br />
==== Electric Treetap ====<br />
<br />
Going nuts making all those treetaps for resin? Then this is your tool: The [[Electric Treetap]].<br />

<br />
The Recipes and Resources page has a list of all available [[Recipes and Resources#Electric|power tools]].<br />
<br />
=== Bigger portable batteries ===<br />
<br />
Electric tools use a lot of EU. Wouldn't it be nice to carry more EU at a time? You can do this with a [[BatPack]]. A BatPack (short for Battery Pack) is worn in the Chest slot, so it cannot be worn at the same time as chest armor. It can carry 60,000 EU. This will be helpful when powering your miners in the future. Although BatPacks are nice, you can carry more EU per slot by stacking fully charged RE-batteries, and taking a single one out to use it.<br />
<br />

|A3=RE Battery|B3= |C3=RE Battery<br />
|Output=Bat-Pack<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Walking around with 60 thousand EU is still not enough? You can craft a more advanced one called the [[Advanced BatPack]]! A single one of them can carry 600,000 EU, ten times that of the BatPack!<br />

=== Compressor ===<br />
<br />
The [[Compressor]] is used to make several different things, but the important ones to know right now are that it can create [[Compressed Air Cell]] by compressing air into Universal Fluid Cells, and it can make [[Advanced Alloy]]s. These will be introduced later.<br />
<br />
''(needs material list)''<br />
<br />
Smelt some Cobblestone, craft a circuit, and then a Machine block.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Stone|A2=Stone|A3=Stone<br />
|B2=Machine|B3=Electronic Circuit<br />
|C1=Stone|C2=Stone|C3=Stone<br />
|Output=Compressor}}<br />
<br />
Place that machine, give it energy, and place an empty [[Universal Fluid Cell]] in it!<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Universal Fluid Cell<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Compressed Air Cell<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can produce universal fluid cells filled with air. Don't right click with them in your hand though, or you will spend some time clean ''the air'' up!<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Blast Furnace ===<br />
<br />
Moving forward, there are a small number of advanced things that require [[Refined Iron]], or heat-treated iron. You make Refined Iron by heating it in a [[Blast Furnace]]. While you get refined iron from iron, [[Slag]] is also produced at a 1:1 ratio to refined iron. Slag is an very important source of [[Carbon Dust]], which you can get by processing it in an [[Thermal Centrifuge]], which will be introduced later. It takes about 5 minutes for a single blast furnace to produce a single piece of refined iron (and slag), so you need to build it so early. In addition to the Blast Furnace itself, it requires a heat source, and a Compressor (listed above) is needed to make [[Compressed Air Cell]]s. For this guide we will use an [[Electric Heat Generator]] with four [[Coil]]s. You can also use a [[Fluid Heat Generator]], that consumes [[Biogas]] instead of EU.<br />
<br />

|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Universal Fluid Cell|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Fluid Heat Generator<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the heat generator where you want it, making sure the output side faces in the direction you want to place the Blast Furnace.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Casing|B1=Iron Casing|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=Iron Casing|B2=Machine|C2=Iron Casing<br />
|A3=Iron Casing|B3=Heat Conductor|C3=Iron Casing<br />
|Output=Blast Furnace<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Place the Blast Furnace so that it touches the heat generator, with its input side (marked by a orange square) facing the Electric Heat Generator's output side (also marked by a orange square). If you are using the Electric Heat Generator, it can be placed behind or beneath the Blast Furnace, rather than side-by-side since you generally don't need to interact with it. Run a power cable to the Electric Heat Generator, or put Biogas fluid cells into the heat generator. The Blast Furnace doesn't need one. After you begin to heat the Blast Furnace, it won't start working instantly. It needs warming up, indicated by the red bar that you can see in its GUI. Only after being completely warmed up can it process Iron. <br />
<br />
Make a Coil and place them inside the Electric Heat Generator. If you have forgotten the recipe, it is below. One coil is enough to keep the blast furnace warm and working, but more coils have no use except making it warm up faster and wasting your materials. The Blast Furnace can accept a maximum of 20 Heat Units, and each Coil produces 5 Heat units.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Copper Cable|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Copper Cable<br />
|A2=Copper Cable|B2=Iron|C2=Copper Cable<br />
|A3=Copper Cable|B3=Copper Cable|C3=Copper Cable<br />
|Output=Coil<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
After completed its warm-up process, your Blast Furnace should be ready to use. Place an iron source (can be any stages of the iron ore, either the ore itself, the [[Crushed Iron Ore|crushed]], or the [[Purified Crushed Iron Ore|purified]]. Can also be iron ingot or iron dust.) and compressed air cells inside the Blast Furnace. It takes six compressed air cells to make 1 Refined Iron. You get the empty fluid cells back, and you can put them back in the Compressor again to refill them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Transformer ===<br />
<br />
As you've been told before, the [[Transformer]] is needed to change voltages. It is actually quite dangerous, as if you did anything wrong, everything will explode. The transformer has a side with 5 dots, and 5 sides with a single dot. The 5 dot side is the high voltage face, while the single dot size is the low voltage face. They are two-ways, meaning that they can both take EU in and output EU. There are three options that you can choose, but depending on your needs '''DO NOT EVER''' choose the default one (Redstone = step-up) as you might place a redstone block onto it one day. If that happens and your transformer is set to Redstone = step up, '''all''' of your machines connected to that transformer '''WILL EXPLODE'''. Be careful!<br />
<br />
=== Age of MV: CES Unit ===<br />
<br />
Now, we have more machines, and we have more ways to power them. But what should we do when the BatBox runs out of energy? Let's put our knowledge of bronze to use making a bigger storage unit!<br />
<br />
For that job, there is the [[CES Unit]]. The [[CES Unit]] stores 300,000 EU, exactly 5x as much as the BatBox. <br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
Before we begin, you'll need to get your hands on at least three [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gunpowder Gunpowder] or 27 netherrack.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type = Extractor<br />
|Top = Gunpowder<br />
|Bottom = RE_Battery_(Charged)<br />

}}<br />
Run three Gunpowder through an Extractor to get three [[Sulfur Dust]].<br />
<br />
You can also produce sulfur from Netherrack.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Before you place your shiny new CES Unit, there's one more thing we need: a [[LV Transformer|Low-Voltage Transformer]]. Don't worry, it's not hard to make.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Tin Cable|C1=Wooden Planks<br />

|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Insulated Tin Cable|C3=Wooden Planks<br />
|Output=LV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Place the CES Unit and the LV Transformer so that the output of the CES Unit connects to the five-dotted side of the transformer. From there, you can run a cable from any of the one-dotted sides of the transformer to your machines.<br />
<br />
=== Upgrades ===<br />
<br />
'''Transformer Upgrade'''<br />
<br />
Hate to see freakin' transformer blocks everywhere in your working station? Well, get yourself a machinery transformer upgrade!<br />
<br />

|A3=Glass|B3=Electronic Circuit|C3=Glass<br />
|Output=Transformer upgrade<br />
}}<br />
The transformer upgrade must be placed in the slots on the right-hand side of certain machine (though not all machines accept upgrades). Like so:<br />
<br />
[[Image:upgradedmachine.png]]<br />
<br />
The transformer upgrade can increase the tier of voltage that the machine can accept. You can stack 1 or more transformer upgrade for higher voltage tier! So go ahead, feel free to stack some transformer upgrades!<br />
<br />
'''Overclocker Upgrade'''<br />
<br />
Is your machine lazily working its way to get what you want? Do you wish that you can make machines do the jobs so much faster? Then go ahead and craft yourself an Overclocker Upgrade!<br />
<br />
And yes there are still some more upgrades! But it is time that you explore them yourself.<br />

=== Kinetic Wind Generator ===<br />
<br />
The [[Kinetic Wind Generator]] is a great alternative of the [[Wind Mill]]. There are different rotors you can put on it. Unfortunately, they all eventually wear out. If you get all of your iron from mining, there are better options, although they do last a long time. However, it's a great option if the iron consumption isn't a problem for your operation.<br />
<br />
(needs material list)<br />
<br />
To build the kinetic wind generator, you'll need a machine block and two iron shafts, like so:<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|-<br />
|{{Grid/MetalFormer<br />
|Mode=Extruding<br />
|Top=Block of Iron<br />

|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Shaft (Iron)|B2=Machine|C2=Shaft (Iron)<br />
|Output=Kinetic Wind Generator}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Here's how you make a wooden rotor for it:<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|A2=Wood Rotor Blade|B2=Iron|C2=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Wood Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Wood)}}<br />
|}<br />
The Wood Rotor lasts 3 IRL hours inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 10 and 60 MCW. It has a wingspan of 2 blocks.<br />
<br />
It takes 18 wood blocks and one iron to make a single wooden rotor, so it needs to be in a location where it can generate more power than 16 pieces of Charcoal (using 2 pieces to turn the wood into charcoal) in a regular Generator to be worthwhile, and that still isn't taking the piece of iron into account.<br />
<br />
Place the KWG in a good location and place the rotor inside. It will then start producing kinetic energy. What's that? You want it to produce EU? Well, another machine is required for that.<br />
<br />

Connect this [[Kinetic Generator]] directly to the Kinetic Wind Generator to change the Kinetic Energy Units into Energy Units.<br />
<br />
Now connect a cable going to your base.<br />
<br />
=== Fluid/Solid Canning Machine ===<br />
<br />
The [[Fluid/Solid Canning Machine]] is a multipurpose machine can also be used to fill [[Universal Fluid Cell]]s with liquids, such as [[Biogas]].<br />

Now we have some machines, but don't stop whining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].<br />
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Chest<br />
|A2=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|C2=Electronic Circuit<br />
|B3=Mining Pipe<br />
|Output=Miner<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For the [[Mining Pipe|mining pipe]], you need 6 [[Iron Plate|Iron Plate]] and a treetap:<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Iron Plate|A2=Iron Plate|A3=Iron Plate<br />
|B3=Treetap|C1=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Pipe|OA=16<br />
}}<br />
<br />
For a working miner, you have to craft another two things:<br />
First, you need a scanner. There are two types: an [[OD Scanner]], or a more precise, energy-eating [[OV Scanner]].<br />
<br />
<br />

|Output=OV Scanner<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
The OD Scanner scans a 5x5 area and submits the results on the player's screen. The OV Scanner scans a 9x9 area, and also submits the results on the player's screen. Either one can be used in the Miner.<br />
The second item your miner needs is a [[Mining Drill]].<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=RE Battery|B1=Copper Cable|C1=Iron Casing<br />
|A2=RE Battery|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Electric Motor<br />

|A2=Iron Plate|B2=Iron Plate|C2=Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Iron Plate|B3=Power Unit|C3=Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Mining Drill<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Mining Drill is a useful item. It can mine stone fast, and dirt even faster. It's also a hand-held tool, not just an item for the Miner.<br />
<br />
Put the drill and the scanner in the miner with a few mining pipes, give them energy, and go to the bed, relax, watch TV, but don't do hard jobs!<br />
<br />
=== MFE Unit ===<br />
<br />
For an even bigger energy storage unit, there is the [[MFE Unit]]. It can store 4,000,000 EU, as much as 100 BatBoxes!! If you can empty a fully-loaded MFE Unit during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.<br />
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>SIXTEEN</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.<br />
Can you find sixteen diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them into [[Energy Crystal]]s!<br />
<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Macerator<br />
|Top=Diamond<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Diamond Dust<br />
}}<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Redstone|B1=Diamond Dust|C1=Redstone<br />
|A2=Diamond Dust|B2=Redstone|C2=Diamond Dust<br />
|A3=Redstone|B3=Diamond Dust|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Energium Dust|OA=9<br />
}}<br />
|{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Energium Dust|IA=9<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Energy Crystal<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
Craft a machine block, search for 4 cables, and craft an MFE Unit like this:<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=2xIns. Gold Cable|B1=Energy Crystal|C1=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|A2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine|C2=Energy Crystal<br />
|A3=2xIns. Gold Cable|B3=Energy Crystal|C3=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
|Output=MFE Unit<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now, we can store a lot of EU for difficult times.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Tin cable and most machines can only handle 32EU/t, and the MFE outputs 512EU/t. You must use a [[MV Transformer]] and a [[LV Transformer]], or a [[Gold Cable]] and a couple of [[Transformer upgrade]] add-ons.<br />
<br />
=== Refined Iron Rotors ===<br />
So you've got some crazy mining going on, you've built lots of expensive machines, your efficiency is through the roof, and hopefully you've built some food and mob-drop farms. Maybe now's a good time to look at Refined Iron (Steel) Rotors for the Kinetic Wind Generators (listed above). These are entirely optional, as there are a number of ways to generate EU. Rotors wear out. You will need the Blast Furnace (listed above) to make these.<br />
<br />
Just in case you were wondering, in game they're called '''Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)''' as Refined Iron is ore dictionary'd as steel.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />
|A2=Refined Iron Rotor Blade|B2=Shaft (Iron)|C2=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />
|B3=Refined Iron Rotor Blade<br />
|Output=Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)<br />

|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Refined Iron Plate|B1=Refined Iron|C1=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|A2=Refined Iron Plate|B2=Refined Iron|C2=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|A3=Refined Iron Plate|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Steel Rotor Blade<br />
|}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The Refined Iron (Steel) Rotor lasts 3 IRL days (72 hours) inside the KWG and requires wind levels between 17 and 90 MCW. It has a wingspan of 4 blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Terraformer ===<br />
<br />
We did a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines, '''BUT'''.<br />
Why don't we make a big house for our machines? I said, that keep in your mind a big, flat place. If it takes a lot of time to go to your flat place, we will craft a [[Teleporter]], or a [[Terraformer]].<br />
<br />
For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.<br />
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two [[Tfbp|TFBP]], an [[Advanced Machine|advanced machine]], and some glowstone dust.<br />
{|<br />
|{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Coal Dust<br />
|A2=Coal Dust|B2=Coal Dust<br />
|Output=Carbon Fibers}}<br />
||{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Carbon Fibers|A2=Carbon Fibers<br />

||{{Grid/Machine<br />
|Type=Compressor<br />
|Top=Combined Carbon Fibers<br />
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)<br />
|Output=Carbon Plate}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Craft '''two''' carbon plates, and then compress two metal block. Make a machine, and craft them to an advanced machine!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Refined Iron Plate|A2=Carbon Plate|A3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|B1=Advanced Alloy|B2=Machine|B3=Advanced Alloy<br />
|C1=Refined Iron Plate|C2=Carbon Plate|C3=Refined Iron Plate<br />
|Output=Advanced Machine}}<br />
Now make an electronic circuit, an advanced circuit, and take two redstone.<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Advanced Circuit<br />
|A3=Redstone|C3=Redstone<br />
|Output=Tfbp}}<br />
Now, craft that amazing '''''TERRAFORMER'''''!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Glowstone Dust|A2=Dirt|A3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|B1=Tfbp|B2=Advanced Machine|B3=Dirt<br />
|C1=Glowstone Dust|C2=Dirt|C3=Glowstone Dust<br />
|Output=Terraformer}}<br />
Make another Tfbp, and program that!<br />
*Flatificator<br />
It makes a flat area with dirt ground.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Dirt|B1=Dirt|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Dirt|C2=Dirt<br />
|Output=Flatificator}}<br />
*Cultivation<br />
It replaces sand with dirt, and places a few saplings.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Seeds|B1=Seeds|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Seeds|C2=Seeds<br />
|Output=Cultivation}} <br />
*Irrigation<br />
It forces saplings and seeds to grow faster, and causes sugar cane to grow 4 blocks high.<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Water Bucket|B1=Water Bucket|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Water Bucket|C2=Water Bucket<br />
|Output=Irrigation}}<br />
*Desertification<br />
It replaces dirt with sand, destroys plants and saplings, melts ice and snow. '''It sets forests on fire!'''<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Sand|B1=Sand|B2=Tfbp<br />
|B3=Sand|C2=Sand<br />
|Output=Desertification}} <br />
To put a Tfbp in a Terraformer, just hold it and right-click in the Terraformer. To remove it, just right-click in the Terraformer with a wrench. Supply the Terraformer with energy, and after 2-3 days, it will finish the job.<br />

<big>'''DAWN OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE'''</big><br />
<br />
Do you think that solar collectors or coal-based generators can't serve your purposes?<br /><br />
Do you get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?<br /><br />
Do you think that pollution isn't an important thing?<br /><br />
Then, I think, the reactor is your best machine!<br /><br />
But why doesn't your neighbor have a reactor?<br /><br />
'''Because it's very expensive!'''<br />
You can find out all about Nuclear Reactors in the [[Tutorial:Nuclear_Power | Nuclear Power]] guide.<br />
<br />
== MFSU ==<br />
Think that your MFE isn't storing enough power? Then craft the amazing MFSU!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapotron Crystal|B1=Advanced Circuit|C1=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A2=Lapotron Crystal|B2=MFE Unit|C2=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|A3=Lapotron Crystal|B3=Advanced Machine|C3=Lapotron Crystal<br />
|Output=MFS Unit<br />
}}<br />
Before you can even craft your MFSU, you will need several blue crystals called [[Lapotron Crystal|lapotron crystals]].<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B1=Advanced Circuit |C1=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A2=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B2=Energy Crystal |C2=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|A3=Lapis Lazuli Dust |B3=Advanced Circuit |C3=Lapis Lazuli Dust<br />
|Output=Lapotron Crystal<br />
}}<br />
To craft one, you will need your existing energy crystals and upgrade them with advanced circuits and lapis. The MFSU is capable of storing 40 million EU, making it the highest tier of the energy storage device! The MFSU will output HV(high voltage) and will destroy your wires and machine if transformers are not installed into your EU network properly.<br />
So you would want to consider crafting the MV Transformer!<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=<br />
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=<br />
|A3=|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=<br />
|Output=MV Transformer<br />
}}<br />
Place the MV Transformer with the three-dots side facing the MFSU and the single-dot side facing the LV Transformer. This way it will "step-down" the high voltage to medium voltage and the low voltage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== That's it! ==<br />
Of course this is just the first steps so now you are pretty much on your own! You might want to craft a [[Mass Fabricator]] or a [[Tesla Coil]], whatever... So, go ahead and do what you like do and yes, go and browse some pages on this wiki when you have some troubleshooting!<br />

Generators are used to either supply direct power to machines or charge [[RE Battery|RE Batteries]]. The basic Generators operate on conventional fuel, which includes most wooden items, Charcoal, Coal, certain plants, and [[scrap]].<br />
<br />
While costly in terms of fuel, basic generators are also one of the most mobile power sources, and don't suffer the drawbacks of requiring sunlight, water, lava, or proper wind as the case is with the other types of generators. <br />
<br />
A generator may be broken with a stone pickaxe or better, or dismantled with a wrench. However, it will lose all its "burning heat" (similar to a furnace) and its internal storage.<br />

<br />
If you find that you need to burn wood for power it is very advantageous to turn them into [[scaffold]]ing instead of charcoal.<br />
<br />
Burn 8 logs by turning it into charcoal: 8 logs => 8 charcoal x 4000EU/charcoal - 390EU/charcoal = 28,880EU<br />
Burn 8 logs by turning it into [[scaffold]]ing: 8 logs => ~113 [[scaffold]]s x 750 = ~85,333EU<br />
<br />
Turning the logs into [[Scaffold]]ing yields nearly triple the EU of [[Non-IC Items|charcoal]].<br />
<br />
NOTE: It is not advantageous anymore, since 3 wood planks + 3 sticks only creates 4 scaffolding instead of 16. 1 1/8 of a log worth for only (3000EU).<br />
<br />
== Interaction with other mods ==<br />
<br />
(Almost) any furnace fuel from any mod can be used in a [[Generator]], at the conversion rate of<br />
* (No. of Smelts in a [[Non-IC Items|stone furnace]]) x 500 EU; or<br />
* Fuel Value x 2.5 EU<br />
For example,<br />
* Peat ([http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/700588-forestry-for-minecraft-trees-bees-and-more-1702-updated-08012013/ Forestry]) can smelt 2x as long as [[Non-IC Items|Coal]] in a furnace. Hence, it produces 16 x 500 EU = 8000 EU.<br />
* [http://railcraft.wikispaces.com/Coal+Coke+(Fuel) Coal Coke] ([http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/701990-146-147-railcraft-61400-forge/ Railcraft]) has a heat value of 6400. Hence it produces 6400 x 2.5 EU = 16 000 EU.<br />

We lied to you, sorry. We told you that using [[RE_Battery|Batteries]] in [[Electric Furnace]]s wouldn't cause any pollution.<br />
<br />
Now, the <s>cake</s> no-pollution-thingy was a lie.<br />
Yes, [[Electric Furnace]]s don't burn stuff and damage our dear Earth, but '''YOU DO! Yes!'''<br />
By using this ''Generator'', you can recharge the '''T500-Rechargeable Energy Storation Unit''' unlimitedly.<br />
But in redo the ''Generator'' will need something it can burn to create this energy the [[RE Battery]] needs.<br />
<br />
We know, you must feel terrible right now, being the cause for global warming and all this stuff. But '''we can help you''', HAYO!<br />

<br />
The '''Cables''' are the primary means of transferring [[EU]] from one device to another. There are several different types of cable, each type made from different metals, and each type can tolerate a different maximum [[EU/p]], usually referred to as Voltage. If an applied Voltage exceeds a cable's maximum, the cable will instantly melt. This is NOT to be confused with ([[EU/t]]), usually referred to as Current; all cables can handle an infinite amount of current.<br />
<br />
All cables suffer from energy losses over distance. Long cables will lose energy in the process of transferring it. There are several ways to reduce losses - Transformers , <s>insulation</s>, and daisy-chaining storage devices. <br />
<br />
Uninsulated cables damage all entities that comes near the cable when there is EU flowing through the cable. An uninsulated HV cable with a current of 2048 EU/t can kill a player fully equipped with fully charged [[Quantum Suit]] within 20.5 seconds. The higher the voltage, the more damage a cable can inflict on entities.<br />
<br />
Insulating cables with rubber <s>reduces energy losses</s>, reduces shocks, and allows the cable to be painted using the [[Painter]]. Painted cables will not connect to different colored cables. This also greatly reduces the strain on CPU, as large cable meshes with many intersections require the game to perform many CPU-heavy calculations.<br />

<br />
== Insulation ==<br />
<br />
Cable can be insulated by adding 'rubber'. Insulation reduces the EU loss over distance of cable.<br />
<br />
<s>Placed cable can have insulation added or removed with [[Cutter|Insulation Cutters]].</s> ''(Does not work in the most recent version)''<br />
<br />
Uninsulated cables (except glass fibre) cannot be coloured with the [[Painter]].<br />
<br />
== Cable Types ==<br />
<br />
More detailed information and a larger recipe list is available by looking at the page for each cable type.<br />
<br />
=== Tin Cable ===<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A2=Tin Plate|B2=Cutter|<br />
|Output=Tin Cable|OA=3<br />
|Output-link=Tin Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
In the most recent versions of IC2, [[Tin Cable]] can tolerate '''Low Voltage''' (up to 32 [[EU/p]]), which means they can handle the energy outputted by basic Generators, but they're very cheap to make and have relatively low energy loss (0.20 EU/block).<br />
<br />
In older versions, Tin cables could only tolerate '''Micro Voltage''' (up to 5 [[EU/p]]). Since no transformer can "step down" voltage this low, Tin cables were only suited for lower-output generators like [[Solar Panel]]s, [[Water Mill]]s, or [[Wind Mill]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Copper Cable ===<br />
<br />
{|<br />

|A2=Copper Cable|<br />
<br />
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable|OA=1<br />
|Output-link=Insulated Copper Cable<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
In the most recent versions of IC2, [[Copper Cable]] are the most common cable tier. They are only capable of handling '''Medium Voltage''' (up to 128 [[EU|EUP]]), however, they suffer the second smallest, distance-related energy losses out of all the conventional cables (same as tin cables, 0.20 EU/block).<br />
In older versions, they were only able to handle '''Low Voltage''' (up to 32 [[EU|EUP]])<br />
<br />
=== Gold Cable ===<br />
<br />
{|<br />

|Output=2xIns._Gold_Cable<br />
|Output-link=2xIns. Gold Cable<br />
}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
In the most recent versions of IC2, [[Gold Cable]]s can transport '''High Voltage''' (up to 512 [[EU/p]]) but has higher energy loss than copper (0.40 EU/block) However, since the energy loss applies to each package of energy, if carrying full 512EU/p, the gold cable will lose less energy than copper over distance, see below for more information.<br />
In older versions, they could only transport '''Medium Voltage''' (up to 128 [[EU/p]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
=== HV (Iron) Cable ===<br />

|}<br />
<br />
[[HV Cable]]s can handle the highest amount of current possible at '''Extreme Voltage''' (up to 2048 [[EU/p]]) however it loses energy very quickly over distance (0.80 EU/block). When transporting EU at 2048 voltage using transformers, HV Cable is actually far more energy efficient than either Gold or Copper Cable. Only [[Glass Fibre Cable]] is more energy efficient, at the expense of Glass Fibre's diamond material cost.<br />
<br />
=== Glass Fibre Cable ===<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
[[Glass Fibre Cable]] is a special type of cable capable of transporting '''Insane Voltage''' (up to 8192 [[EU/p]]). It does not shock anything standing too close and has only a tiny amount of energy loss, however, it is very expensive to make. <br />
<br />
== Detector Cable ===<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />

|Output-link=Detector Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
The [[Detector Cable]] is a special cable which outputs a redstone current when EU is flowing through it. They can handle up to 2048 [[EU/p]].<br />
<br />
=== Splitter Cable ===<br />
<br />
{{Grid/Crafting Table<br />
|A1=|B1=Redstone|C1=<br />

|A3=|B3=Redstone|C3=<br />
|Output=Splitter Cable<br />
|Output link=Splitter Cable<br />
}}<br />
<br />
The [[Splitter Cable]] is a special cable which prevents EU from flowing through it when a redstone current is applied. They can handle up to 2048 [[EU/p]].<br />
<br />
== Cable Efficiency ==<br />
<br />
All cables suffer distance-related energy losses, and depending on the tier and insulation of the given cable, the losses can vary greatly. The general unit for cable efficiency is EU/block. It shows how much [[EU]] every [[EU/p|EU Packet]] loses per block. The number is accumulated along the whole length of the cable, and then '''rounded down''' to the nearest integer. Therefore, if a distance is short enough, there will be no EU loss. For example, since [[Copper Cable]] loses 1 EU every 5 blocks, a 4 block long Insulated Copper Cable won't lose any EU.<br />

== Voltage Efficiency ==<br />
<br />
Depending on the [[EU/p]] traveling through a cable it may be more efficient to use higher voltage cables and packets. This is because EU/b isn't applied on the total [[EU/t]] that travels the cable but on every single [[EU/p|EU-Packet]].<br />
So an insulated copper cable carrying 384 EU/t over 10 Blocks is actually carrying 12*32 EU-Packets and instead of: 384EU-2EU=382EU you get: 32EU*12-2*12=360EU. But when using 128 EU-Packets and [[2x Insulated Gold Cable]]s you get: 128EU*3-4*3=372EU. In this example this is a difference of 12 EU over 10 Blocks. <br />
<br />
What can be concluded from a cursory glance over the numbers is that, when using maximum allowable voltage, Copper cables are actually the most lossy cable type (at 25.0% per 40 blocks), followed by Tin (at 20.0% per 40 blocks), then Gold (at 12.5% per 40 blocks), then Iron (at 1.56% per 40 blocks), and the most lossless is Glass Fibre (at 0.195% per 40 blocks). '''''Remember, these values only apply if current is passed at the highest voltage available for that cable type.'''''<br />
<br />
The formula for overall EU/b is: Combined EU/t <u>divided by</u> Desired packet size <u>multiplied by</u> Cable's EU/b per Packet <u>equals</u> '''Combined EU/b'''<br />
<br />
Below is an example of different EU/t packed into different EU-Packets and carried with different cables, <s>cables are full insulated</s>, EU-P equals [[EU#EU-Packet / Voltage|EU-Packet]], results are in '''Overall / Combined EU/b ''' (not EU/b per Packet), results can't be rounded down to nearest integer.<br />

== Cable Splitting ==<br />
Up to 4 cables can connect to one cable. Current will only flow through a cable when requested by a consumer if the loss from the cable length will allow some energy to get to the consumer. i.e. a [[Batbox]] (32EU) will send across insulated copper to a furnace up to 155 blocks away (5x31). No energy will be sent to anything 156 blocks away.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind, however, that an excessive number of cable intersections will increase strain on your CPU (and more importantly, the server, when playing on a multi-player server). Don't do things like having rows of adjacent cables with every block connected to every other block. Also, separate cables connected to an energy storage device ([[BatBox]], etc.) or transformer do not count as a cable intersection, so take advantage of that when possible.<br />

<div>{{Experimental}}<br />
'''Gold Cables''' are [[Tier System|tier 3]] [[Cable|cable]] type. They suffer higher distance-related energy losses than [[Copper Cable]]s, but are able to carry '''High Voltage''' (up to 512 [[EU|EU/t]]). Gold Cables have 2 different levels of insulation, with the 2x insulation providing no shock damage from high voltage.<br />
