The tutorial is regularly updated, you can see the first version of it here.
Whilst waiting for a corrected version, you can download the last unfinished version here: [http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]

== Basics steps in a new world ==

[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]
 

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 coal and build a little house (or a cave if you wish) for your first night.

[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]
 

Here is mine with some flowers. Having a pretty house is always a plus, even if it’s just for you, and I can easily expand it.
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode, the creepers can blow up what you built. If you want to, use some torches to light the area.
 

[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]
 

Keep in mind you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of space not too far away, like that sand plain I can see from my roof (you will also need lots of sand for other purposes).
Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place.

Nothing new here, but you must begin with a good base if you want to go further. The next part will introduce some new things.
 

== First Ingredients and Machines ==

You now have a little base with four walls, a roof, some chests, a bed, a furnace, and a crafting table, but you want more new stuff. Now, you need to gather rubber. You will need a lot of lumber to build our first machine, and a basic generator: 34 logs precisely. However, you should take more to use as fuel.

 
{|
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Wooden Planks
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks
|A3=Wooden Planks
|Output=Treetap
}}
|}

Can you smell the fresh air of new toys? Use 5 planks to create a [[Treetap]]. You will need 5 tree taps total, one for extracting [[Sticky Resin]] and four for crafting an [[Extractor]], but wait until later to make the other four to save space.
 

Now, extract 6 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|rubber trees]].

But for now drop that into a chest, and gather torches, pickaxes 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 have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must be really unlucky if you don’t find any on the path. Also, you should mine any [[Copper Ore|Copper]] or [[Tin Ore|Tin]] you see.

[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]

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:

*Gold. Its value is much higher in IC, 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

*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.

*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as cables, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.

*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.

*Coal. It's 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 Collector|Solar Collectors]], it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the nano-suit use it. In others worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, its invaluable.

*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future nuclear reactor or to craft a nuke to blow up a mountain. Besides that, they are not involved in other recipes. They are rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather them.

[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]

Further away in the cave:

*Redstone: Good news: it’s much faster to mine with IC (Alblaka fixed the bug Mojang left); it will not take you ages, like I said in the beginning of that part. The 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.

*Diamond: Ha the diamond, everybody runs after them, try to get 3 of them and keep them in a chest, we will craft something awesome with them. You should know we can craft an industrial diamond with coal, I’ll show you later. There is something else to do with them other than waste them in tools or one-use armor.

*not shown here, but you know it: the Lapis-lazuli: Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find them now, just keep them until you have need of them

-Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Keep in mind where are some lava lakes are to go back to later.

-Obsidian: you need some Obsidian for more than one reason: to go in the Nether, because you will need some glowing dust for mid-tech machines. The Obsidian is the only thing that can resist a nuke, keep in mind the nuclear reactor can make a nice hole. And Obsidian is a part of crafting an Industrial Diamond.

You know what you can gather under the surface, continue to collect some resources and go back to your base for the next step.

Now you’re safe at your base, you can smelt some of the ore you gathered from your trip; but be patient and don’t smelt all your ore, 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 I'll explain later.
So, before you build a Macerator, you need an Extractor and a Generator, but to build them, you must craft some Electric circuits, which need some Cables. Yeah, it seems complicated, and it is. That's why I'm writing a little tutorial just for you.
You must smelt 3 copper, then 9 others for a total of 12
After that, smelt 8 Tin to be able to craft 2 [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to use later on.

{{Grid/Furnace
|Input=Iron
|Fuel=Coal
|Output=Refined Iron}}

You will need 27 Iron which you must SMELT AGAIN to create [[Refined Iron]], which is a base of a lot of machines.

You remember the Sticky Resin you kept in the chest? Take it, and your Copper Ingots too. We will create some [[Cable|cables]]. You see it takes 6 Rubber and 3 Copper Ingots for every 6 Cables. Later you will need a large amount of them, but first you want just enough to make an Extractor. Once you have that, you can make Rubber much more efficiently.

Smelt your 6 Sticky Resin in any furnace to get 6 [[Rubber]].

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Rubber|B1=Rubber|C1=Rubber
|A2=Copper|B2=Copper|C2=Copper
|A3=Rubber|B3=Rubber|C3=Rubber
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable|OA=6
|Output-link=Insulated Copper Cable
}}
|}

Prepare one batch of 6 [[Cable|cables]] using the recipe that uses 6 Rubber and 3 Copper Ingots.

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable
|A2=Redstone|B2=Refined Iron|C2=Redstone
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=Electronic Circuit
}}
|}

Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. You need 6 [[Cable|cables]], 2 Redstone, and one [[Refined Iron]]. Like all other things on that page, it’s the base of the industry, so you'll be using it a lot.

Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Machine Block]].
Just take 8 [[Refined Iron]] and draw a box with them in the craft interface.

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Refined Iron|B1=Refined Iron|C1=Refined Iron
|A2=Refined Iron|C2=Refined Iron
|A3=Refined Iron|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron
|Output=Machine
}}
|}

FINALLY we can craft our first machine, but we need just 4 more [[Treetap|tree taps]], take 20 planks and craft them, after that take the 4 tree taps, a machine and an [[Electronic Circuit]] and '''TADA''' you can plant your [[Extractor]] where you want, but be careful, you can’t remove any machine by hand, it will be destroyed if you do. You will need a [[Wrench|special tool]] made with a [[Bronze|new metal]]. We will see that later.

{|
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap
|Output=Extractor
}}
|}

Ok, you have your Extractor, but how does it work? You need '''ELECTRICITY''', made by a '''[[Generator|GENERATOR]]'''. Now you know what we need to make next. There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]]:

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=
|linkB3=
|Output=Generator
}}

First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Machine Block]] and a Furnace (8 Iron needed).

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=
|A2=|B2=Refined Iron|C2=
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=
|linkB2=|linkC2=
|linkB3=
|Output=Generator
}}

Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Refined Iron]] and an [[Iron Furnace]] (6 Iron needed).

As you can see the second one is cheaper, and I recommend you to use that recipe as the 2 are exactly the same. I know you are asking yourself: how do I create an [[RE Battery]] and an [[Iron Furnace]]? For the Iron Furnace we will come back later, and for the battery it's now!!

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=
|A2=Tin|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin
|A3=Tin|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin
|Output=RE Battery
}}
1 Cable, 4 Tin and 2 Redstone. Easy, no?

Time to remember that recipe.

You need to assemble two [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]]. One is needed to build the Generator, and the second is needed to power your Extractor.

But wait! You just used your last [[Cable]]. It’s time to craft more, but this time we will not waste great quantities of resin. Go back in front of your [[Extractor]], and put 4 [[Sticky Resin]] into the top hole, and put some Redstone into the bottom hole (pure Redstone is like a 1 use low-efficient battery, but it works). With the Extractor, you get 3 Rubber for each Sticky Resin instead of just 1. Craft 2 batches of 6 [[Cable|cables]] with your [[Rubber]].

Now you can assemble your two RE Batteries.

Next we can craft the [[Generator]] to charge your batteries. Don't place the generator next to anything; I’ll explain why in the wiring section. Put your 2 empty batteries in the upper slot and put some (char)coal or other things that burn in the lower slot. You will need 3.5 (char)coal to fill up a single battery, but it is more efficient. You can place a chest right next to the generator and it will gather all your full batteries.

The empty batteries can stack up to 16, but the fully charged ones can’t be stacked. It’s the drawback of the re-usability. With a fully charged battery, power the [[Extractor]] for more [[Rubber]] and [[Cable|cables]].

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. Craft another [[Electronic Circuit|electronic circuit]], another [[Machine Block]] and collect the needed Cobblestone and Flint.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone
|B3=Electronic Circuit
|Output=Macerator
}}

Put your ore in the upper slot, and a battery in the bottom one, and wait for 2 [[Dusts|dust]] to magically appear from one ore, then, put that dust in an [[Electro Furnace]] and you will have 2 ingots for one ore. What, you don’t know how to create an [[Electro Furnace]]? It will be our next and final step of this long section.

You must know that the [[Macerator]] can do more things than create [[Dusts|dust]] from ore. It can create dust from coal too. The [[Dusts|coal dust]] is used in a lot of things. I recommend you gather 3 or 4 stacks of coal dust as soon as possible. The [[Macerator]] can make Flint out of Gravel. This may not seem so, but it’s really useful. It can also make Cobblestone from smooth Stone, and incredibly, make SAND out of Cobblestone. Cool, isn’t it?

And Now the [[Electro Furnace]]. But first you need to craft an [[Iron Furnace]]. The second recipe is here because of a certain mod that overwrites the 1st recipe, but it’s the same thing.

{|

|{{Grid/Crafting Table

|A2=Iron|B2=|C2=Iron

|A1=|B1=Iron|C1=
|A2=Iron|B2=|C2=Iron
|A3=Iron|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron
|Output=Iron Furnace
}}
|}

The Iron Furnace is 25% faster than the standard Furnace. You only need 6 Coal to heat 60 units instead of the 8 Coal for 64 units for the Stone Furnace, but we can do it faster with the Electric Furnace:

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Electronic Circuit
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone
|Output=Electro Furnace
}}

I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|circuit]] to craft, but I warned you it will be everywhere.
Like the other machine, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and the battery in the bottom, its 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy waste. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming energy.

You now have 1 [[Extractor]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]] and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right.

Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify its operation.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Wooden Planks
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks
|Output=BatBox
}}

Next you can 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.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Generator|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=Solar Panel
}}

To provide the most amount of energy, create Solar Flowers.

[[File:solarflowertop.png|400px| link=|left]]
[[File:solarflowerbottom.png|400px| link=|right]]
 
 

Place your Generator directly on top of the BatBox. Run cable from the output face of the BatBox to your machines. Connect your Solar Panel to the side of the BatBox opposite to the output face. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator.

For more production, craft 1 more [[Generator]], 2 [[Macerator|Macerators]] and 2 [[Electro Furnace|Electro Furnaces]], and all will be faster. Don't forget the [[RE Battery|batteries]]; 2 is not enough.

You can see the inside of my little home, 3 Macerators, 3 Electro Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view and 2 unknown machines, you can see I’ve put a chest in front of my generator to gather the charged batteries when I stalk outdoor.
Next time we will need lot of batteries and cables for see the basics of wiring.

[[file:first_steps20.png |650px| link=|center]]

==The power of bronze==

Now you have a little but fully functional base, that allow you to get twice as many ingots for every run you get. But you can’t move any of the machines or you must rebuild it from scrap.

Now we will craft the engi-friend tool: the [[Wrench]]. The Wrench is not made of Iron, it’s made of [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. But I can hear your little voice: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is made from '''COPPER + TIN'''.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=2}}

You need the dust form of those 2 ores, and mix them in a 3:1 ratio (place in the crafting table doesn’t matter)
To smelt bronze dusts into ingots, put them in a furnace (I offer you the Electric Furnace).
{|

'''Iron!'''
A very important topic. Every machine based on iron. But you must travel to the deep fast. And it costs a lot of iron for minecarts and rails.''But we have bronze!'' Why we can't use bronze for rails?

The use of a wrench is incredibly easy: just right click on the machine you want to remove; be careful, if the machine wasn’t empty you will lose everything it contained. And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'', and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft, its unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''.
Also, you can craft armor from bronze.

== Second steps ''By KuglicsL'' ==

Now, we have got some machines, but don't stop mining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Electronic Circuit|B1=Machine|C1=Electronic Circuit
|B2=Mining Pipe
|B3=Mining Pipe
|Output=Miner
}}

For the mining pipe, you need 2 things. 6 Refined iron and a treetap:

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Refined Iron|A2=Refined Iron|A3=Refined Iron
|B3=Treetap|C1=Refined Iron|C2=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron
|Output=Mining Pipe
}}

For a working miner, you have to craft another two things. An OD Scanner, or a more precise, energy-eater OV Scanner.

{|

|B1=Glowstone Dust|B2=Advanced Circuit|B3=OD Scanner

}}
|}
The OD Scanner can scan a 5x5 area, and it submit the results on the players screen. You can put it in the miner, but now, you must craft a mining drill. The OV Scanner can scan an area of

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A2=Refined Iron|A3=Refined Iron
|B1=Refined Iron|B2=Electronic Circuit|B3=RE Battery (Charged)
|C2=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron
|Output=Mining Drill}}

The mining drill is a useful item. It can mine stone fast, but if that speed isn't enough, you can craft a diamond drill.
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A2=Diamond|B1=Diamond|C2=Diamond
|B2=Mining Drill|Output=Diamond Drill}}
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!

Now, we have got one more machine and we can power them with solar panels. STOP! But what will we do, when BatBox runs out of energy at night? We want a bigger storage unit!
For that job, there is the MFE Transmitter. It can storage 600,000 EU! If you can empty a fully loaded MFE Transmitter during a night, you are a very spendthrift player.
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>FOUR</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.
Can you find four diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them to Energy Crystals!

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Redstone|A2=Redstone|A3=Redstone
|B1=Redstone|B2=Diamond|B3=Redstone
|C1=Redstone|C2=Redstone|C3=Redstone

Craft a machine, search for 4 cables, and craft a MFE Transmitter like this:

|A2=Energy Crystal|B1=Energy Crystal|B3=Energy Crystal|C2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine
|Output=MFE Transmitter}}
Now, we can storage a lot of EU for difficult times.Uhh. I have got hunger. Eat a sandwich! But... Food... The Canning machine! It is a cheap, useful, and multipurpose machine. It can be use for fill tin cans with food, and fill fuel tanks with biofuel or coalfuel.
Craft it!

We (the tutorial's creators) said, that remember for a lava lake, to make Geothermal Generator. Now, we will craft it! We will supply it with lava cells. To make lava cells, take a few tin.

''Uhh...'' We have got some energy. I want '''MINE'''. But I don't like pickaxes. Craft something hot and shiny!
The Mining Laser. But for it, you must craft a compressor. Smelt some cobblestone, craft a circuit and a machine block!

To charge the mining laser, put it in the MFE Transmitter. Wait, take that, and go to your mine. To change the firing mode, hold '''M''' and '''right-clicking'''. The firing modes can be found here:[[Mining Laser]].
Every firing mode have advantage and disadvantage. The default firing mode is the mining mod. It's balanced.
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'''''.

==<big>Way to the industry</big> ==

We do a lot of jobs, we have got a little house, and a few machines. '''BUT'''.
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.

For a Teleporter, you need a lot of energy, two metal blocks, some glowstone dust, and some coal dust.
For a Terraformer, you need energy, two TFBP, an advanced machine, and some glowstone dust.

The tutorial is regularly updated, you can see the first version of it here.
Whilst waiting for a corrected version, you can download the last unfinished version here: [http://www.mediafire.com/?j9gem0c4laoeyb5 First Steps in the IndustrialCraft mod for Minecraft V0.5.pdf]

== Basics steps in a new world ==

[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]
 

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 coal and build a little house (or a cave if you wish) for your first night.

[[file:first_steps2.png |350x350px| link=|left]]
 

Here is mine with some flowers. Having a pretty house is always a plus, even if it’s just for you, and I can easily expand it.
Beware of the mobs if you are not playing in Peaceful mode, the creepers can blow up what you built. If you want to, use some torches to light the area.
 

[[file:first_steps3.png |350x350px| link=|right]]
 

Keep in mind you will need a lot of room for your industry. Try to get a good spot with a lot of space not too far away, like that sand plain I can see from my roof (you will also need lots of sand for other purposes).
Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place.

Nothing new here, but you must begin with a good base if you want to go further. The next part will introduce some new things.
 

== First Ingredients and Machines ==

You now have a little base with four walls, a roof, some chests, a bed, a furnace, and a crafting table, but you want more new stuff. Now, you need to gather rubber. You will need a lot of lumber to build our first machine, and a basic generator: 34 logs precisely. However, you should take more to use as fuel.

 
{|
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Wooden Planks
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks
|A3=Wooden Planks
|Output=Treetap
}}
|}

Can you smell the fresh air of new toys? Use 5 planks to create a [[Treetap]]. You will need 5 tree taps total, one for extracting [[Sticky Resin]] and four for crafting an [[Extractor]], but wait until later to make the other four to save space.
 

Now, extract 6 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|rubber trees]].

But for now drop that into a chest, and gather torches, pickaxes 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 have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must be really unlucky if you don’t find any on the path. Also, you should mine any [[Copper Ore|Copper]] or [[Tin Ore|Tin]] you see.

[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]

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:

*Gold. Its value is much higher in IC, 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

*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.

*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as cables, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.

*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.

*Coal. It's 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 Collector|Solar Collectors]], it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the nano-suit use it. In others worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, its invaluable.

*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future nuclear reactor or to craft a nuke to blow up a mountain. Besides that, they are not involved in other recipes. They are rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather them.

[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]

Further away in the cave:

*Redstone: Good news: it’s much faster to mine with IC (Alblaka fixed the bug Mojang left); it will not take you ages, like I said in the beginning of that part. The 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.

*Diamond: Ha the diamond, everybody runs after them, try to get 3 of them and keep them in a chest, we will craft something awesome with them. You should know we can craft an industrial diamond with coal, I’ll show you later. There is something else to do with them other than waste them in tools or one-use armor.

*not shown here, but you know it: the Lapis-lazuli: Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find them now, just keep them until you have need of them

-Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Keep in mind where are some lava lakes are to go back to later.

-Obsidian: you need some Obsidian for more than one reason: to go in the Nether, because you will need some glowing dust for mid-tech machines. The Obsidian is the only thing that can resist a nuke, keep in mind the nuclear reactor can make a nice hole. And Obsidian is a part of crafting an Industrial Diamond.

You know what you can gather under the surface, continue to collect some resources and go back to your base for the next step.

Now you’re safe at your base, you can smelt some of the ore you gathered from your trip; but be patient and don’t smelt all your ore, 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 I'll explain later.
So, before you build a Macerator, you need an Extractor and a Generator, but to build them, you must craft some Electric circuits, which need some Cables. Yeah, it seems complicated, and it is. That's why I'm writing a little tutorial just for you.
You must smelt 3 copper, then 9 others for a total of 12
After that, smelt 8 Tin to be able to craft 2 [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to use later on.

{{Grid/Furnace
|Input=Iron
|Fuel=Coal
|Output=Refined Iron}}

You will need 27 Iron which you must SMELT AGAIN to create [[Refined Iron]], which is a base of a lot of machines.

You remember the Sticky Resin you kept in the chest? Take it, and your Copper Ingots too. We will create some [[Cable|cables]]. You see it takes 6 Rubber and 3 Copper Ingots for every 6 Cables. Later you will need a large amount of them, but first you want just enough to make an Extractor. Once you have that, you can make Rubber much more efficiently.

Smelt your 6 Sticky Resin in any furnace to get 6 [[Rubber]].

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Rubber|B1=Rubber|C1=Rubber
|A2=Copper|B2=Copper|C2=Copper
|A3=Rubber|B3=Rubber|C3=Rubber
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable|OA=6
|Output-link=Insulated Copper Cable
}}
|}

Prepare one batch of 6 [[Cable|cables]] using the recipe that uses 6 Rubber and 3 Copper Ingots.

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable
|A2=Redstone|B2=Refined Iron|C2=Redstone
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=Electronic Circuit
}}
|}

Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. You need 6 [[Cable|cables]], 2 Redstone, and one [[Refined Iron]]. Like all other things on that page, it’s the base of the industry, so you'll be using it a lot.

Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Machine Block]].
Just take 8 [[Refined Iron]] and draw a box with them in the craft interface.

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Refined Iron|B1=Refined Iron|C1=Refined Iron
|A2=Refined Iron|C2=Refined Iron
|A3=Refined Iron|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron
|Output=Machine
}}
|}

FINALLY we can craft our first machine, but we need just 4 more [[Treetap|tree taps]], take 20 planks and craft them, after that take the 4 tree taps, a machine and an [[Electronic Circuit]] and '''TADA''' you can plant your [[Extractor]] where you want, but be careful, you can’t remove any machine by hand, it will be destroyed if you do. You will need a [[Wrench|special tool]] made with a [[Bronze|new metal]]. We will see that later.

{|
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap
|Output=Extractor
}}
|}

Ok, you have your Extractor, but how does it work? You need '''ELECTRICITY''', made by a '''[[Generator|GENERATOR]]'''. Now you know what we need to make next. There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]]:

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=
|linkB3=
|Output=Generator
}}

First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Machine Block]] and a Furnace (8 Iron needed).

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=
|A2=|B2=Refined Iron|C2=
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=
|linkB2=|linkC2=
|linkB3=
|Output=Generator
}}

Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Refined Iron]] and an [[Iron Furnace]] (6 Iron needed).

As you can see the second one is cheaper, and I recommend you to use that recipe as the 2 are exactly the same. I know you are asking yourself: how do I create an [[RE Battery]] and an [[Iron Furnace]]? For the Iron Furnace we will come back later, and for the battery it's now!!

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=
|A2=Tin|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin
|A3=Tin|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin
|Output=RE Battery
}}
1 Cable, 4 Tin and 2 Redstone. Easy, no?

Time to remember that recipe.

You need to assemble two [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]]. One is needed to build the Generator, and the second is needed to power your Extractor.

But wait! You just used your last [[Cable]]. It’s time to craft more, but this time we will not waste great quantities of resin. Go back in front of your [[Extractor]], and put 4 [[Sticky Resin]] into the top hole, and put some Redstone into the bottom hole (pure Redstone is like a 1 use low-efficient battery, but it works). With the Extractor, you get 3 Rubber for each Sticky Resin instead of just 1. Craft 2 batches of 6 [[Cable|cables]] with your [[Rubber]].

Now you can assemble your two RE Batteries.

Next we can craft the [[Generator]] to charge your batteries. Don't place the generator next to anything; I’ll explain why in the wiring section. Put your 2 empty batteries in the upper slot and put some (char)coal or other things that burn in the lower slot. You will need 3.5 (char)coal to fill up a single battery, but it is more efficient. You can place a chest right next to the generator and it will gather all your full batteries.

The empty batteries can stack up to 16, but the fully charged ones can’t be stacked. It’s the drawback of the re-usability. With a fully charged battery, power the [[Extractor]] for more [[Rubber]] and [[Cable|cables]].

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. Craft another [[Electronic Circuit|electronic circuit]], another [[Machine Block]] and collect the needed Cobblestone and Flint.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone
|B3=Electronic Circuit
|Output=Macerator
}}

Put your ore in the upper slot, and a battery in the bottom one, and wait for 2 [[Dusts|dust]] to magically appear from one ore, then, put that dust in an [[Electro Furnace]] and you will have 2 ingots for one ore. What, you don’t know how to create an [[Electro Furnace]]? It will be our next and final step of this long section.

You must know that the [[Macerator]] can do more things than create [[Dusts|dust]] from ore. It can create dust from coal too. The [[Dusts|coal dust]] is used in a lot of things. I recommend you gather 3 or 4 stacks of coal dust as soon as possible. The [[Macerator]] can make Flint out of Gravel. This may not seem so, but it’s really useful. It can also make Cobblestone from smooth Stone, and incredibly, make SAND out of Cobblestone. Cool, isn’t it?

And Now the [[Electro Furnace]]. But first you need to craft an [[Iron Furnace]]. The second recipe is here because of a certain mod that overwrites the 1st recipe, but it’s the same thing.

{|
|-
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Iron |B1=Iron |C1=Iron
|A2=Iron|B2=|C2=Iron
|A3=Iron|B3=Iron|C3=Iron
|Output=Iron Furnace}}
||{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=Iron|C1=
|A2=Iron|B2=|C2=Iron
|A3=Iron|B3=Furnace|C3=Iron
|Output=Iron Furnace
}}
|}

The Iron Furnace is 25% faster than the standard Furnace. You only need 6 Coal to heat 60 units instead of the 8 Coal for 64 units for the Stone Furnace, but we can do it faster with the Electric Furnace:

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Electronic Circuit
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone
|Output=Electro Furnace
}}

I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|circuit]] to craft, but I warned you it will be everywhere.
Like the other machine, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and the battery in the bottom, its 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy waste. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming energy.

You now have 1 [[Extractor]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]] and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right.

Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify its operation.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Wooden Planks
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks
|Output=BatBox
}}

Next you can 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.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Generator|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=Solar Panel
}}

To provide the most amount of energy, create Solar Flowers.

[[File:solarflowertop.png|400px| link=|left]]
[[File:solarflowerbottom.png|400px| link=|right]]

Place your Generator directly on top of the BatBox. Run cable from the output face of the BatBox to your machines. Connect your Solar Panel to the side of the BatBox opposite to the output face. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator.

For more production, craft 1 more [[Generator]], 2 [[Macerator|Macerators]] and 2 [[Electro Furnace|Electro Furnaces]], and all will be faster. Don't forget the [[RE Battery|batteries]]; 2 is not enough.

You can see the inside of my little home, 3 Macerators, 3 Electro Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view and 2 unknown machines, you can see I’ve put a chest in front of my generator to gather the charged batteries when I stalk outdoor.
Next time we will need lot of batteries and cables for see the basics of wiring.

[[file:first_steps20.png |650px| link=|center]]

==The power of bronze==

Now you have a little but fully functional base, that allow you to get twice as many ingots for every run you get. But you can’t move any of the machines or you must rebuild it from scrap.

Now we will craft the engi-friend tool: the [[Wrench]]. The Wrench is not made of Iron, it’s made of [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. But I can hear your little voice: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is made from '''COPPER + TIN'''.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B2=Copper Dust|B3=Copper Dust
|C2=Copper Dust|C3=Tin Dust
|Output=Bronze Dust|OA=2}}

You need the dust form of those 2 ores, and mix them in a 3:1 ratio (place in the crafting table doesn’t matter)
To smelt bronze dusts into ingots, put them in a furnace (I offer you the Electric Furnace).
{|
|-
|{{Grid/Machine
|Type=Electro Furnace

|Output=Bronze}}
||{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze
|Output=Wrench}}
|}
'''Iron!'''
A very important topic. Every machine based on iron. But you must travel to the deep fast. And it costs a lot of iron for minecarts and rails.''But we have bronze!'' Why we can't use bronze for rails?

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze
|B2=Stick
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze
|Output=Rail|OA=8}}

The use of a wrench is incredibly easy: just right click on the machine you want to remove; be careful, if the machine wasn’t empty you will lose everything it contained. And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'', and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft, its unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''.
Also, you can craft armor from bronze.
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Bronze|A2=Bronze|A3=Bronze
|B2=Bronze|B3=Bronze
|C1=Bronze|C2=Bronze|C3=Bronze
|Output=Bronze Chestplate}}

== Second steps ''By KuglicsL'' ==

Now, we have got some machines, but don't stop mining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Electronic Circuit|B1=Machine|C1=Electronic Circuit
|B2=Mining Pipe
|B3=Mining Pipe
|Output=Miner
}}

For the mining pipe, you need 2 things. 6 Refined iron and a treetap:

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Refined Iron|A2=Refined Iron|A3=Refined Iron
|B3=Treetap|C1=Refined Iron|C2=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron
|Output=Mining Pipe
}}

For a working miner, you have to craft another two things. An OD Scanner, or a more precise, energy-eater OV Scanner.

{|

|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A2=Electronic Circuit |B1=Glowstone Dust |C2=Electronic Circuit
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B2=RE Battery (Charged)|C3=Insulated Copper Cable

||{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Redstone|A2=Lapis Lazuli (Dye)|A3=Redstone

|B1=Glowstone Dust|B2=Advanced Circuit|B3=OD Scanner
|C2=Glowstone Dust|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=OV Scanner
}}
|}
The OD Scanner can scan a 5x5 area, and it submit the results on the players screen. You can put it in the miner, but now, you must craft a mining drill. The OV Scanner can scan an area of

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A2=Refined Iron|A3=Refined Iron
|B1=Refined Iron|B2=Electronic Circuit|B3=RE Battery (Charged)
|C2=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron
|Output=Mining Drill}}

The mining drill is a useful item. It can mine stone fast, but if that speed isn't enough, you can craft a diamond drill.
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A2=Diamond|B1=Diamond|C2=Diamond
|B2=Mining Drill|Output=Diamond Drill}}
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!

Now, we have got one more machine and we can power them with solar panels. STOP! But what will we do, when BatBox runs out of energy at night? We want a bigger storage unit!
For that job, there is the MFE Unit. It can storage 600,000 EU! If you can empty a fully loaded MFE unit during a night, you are very spendthrift player.
But! It isn't cheap. You must have at least <big>FOUR</big> diamonds! Go to layer 1-16, and search for some diamonds.
Can you find four diamonds? Are they genuine? Okay. Craft them to Energy Crystals!

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Redstone|A2=Redstone|A3=Redstone
|B1=Redstone|B2=Diamond|B3=Redstone
|C1=Redstone|C2=Redstone|C3=Redstone
|Output=Energy Crystal}}
Craft a machine, search for 4 cables, and craft a MFE Unit like this:
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Insulated Copper Cable|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|A2=Energy Crystal|B1=Energy Crystal|B3=Energy Crystal|C2=Energy Crystal|B2=Machine
|Output=MFE Unit}}
Now, we can storage a lot of EU for difficult times.Uhh. I have got hunger. Eat a sandwich! But... Food... The Canning machine! It is a cheap, useful, and multipurpose machine. It can be use for fill tin cans with food, and fill fuel tanks with biofuel or coalfuel.
Craft it!

|A1=Tin|A2=Tin|A3=Tin
|B1=Electronic Circuit|B2=Machine|B3=Tin
|C1=Tin|C2=Tin|C3=Tin
|Output=Canning Machine}}

We (the tutorial's creators) said, that remember for a lava lake, to make Geothermal Generator. Now, we will craft it! We will supply it with lava cells. To make lava cells, take a few tin.

Now, craft a Geothermal Generator. Take four glass , two cell, and a generator.

You think, that solar collectors, coal-based generators can't serve you out?
You get tired of waiting for that stupid sun?
You think, that pollution isn't an important thing?
I think, the reactor is your best machine!
But why don't have got your neighbor a reactor?

== Basics steps in a new world ==

[[file:first_steps1.png |350x350px| link=|left]]
 

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 coal and build a little house (or a cave if you wish) for your first night.

You now have a little base with four walls, a roof, some chests, a bed, a furnace, and a crafting table, but you want more new stuff. Now, you need to gather rubber. You will need a lot of lumber to build our first machine, and a basic generator: 34 logs precisely. However, you should take more to use as fuel.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Wooden Planks
|A2=Wooden Planks|B2=Wooden Planks|C2=Wooden Planks
|A3=Wooden Planks
|Output=Treetap
}}
|}

Can you smell the fresh air of new toys? Use 5 planks to create a [[Treetap]]. You will need 5 tree taps total, one for extracting [[Sticky Resin]] and four for crafting an [[Extractor]], but wait until later to make the other four to save space.
 

Now, extract 6 [[Sticky Resin]] from the [[Rubber Wood|rubber trees]].

But for now drop that into a chest, and gather torches, pickaxes 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 have in astronomical quantity is the base of industrial electricity. Of course, you will need an iron pickaxe to extract it, but you must be really unlucky if you don’t find any on the path. Also, you should mine any [[Copper Ore|Copper]] or [[Tin Ore|Tin]] you see.

[[file:first_steps6.png |500px| link=|center]]

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:

*Gold. Its value is much higher in IC, 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

*[[Tin]]. It is required for many things, but it is fairly common.

*[[Copper]]. Like Tin, it is required for most things in IC, such as cables, so you must gather a good stock in the beginning. Like Tin, there's plenty in the world.

*Iron. '''Every''' machine uses Iron, so it will be the ore you must hunt the most. You will be always short of Iron.

*Coal. It's 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 Collector|Solar Collectors]], it's a more efficient [[Fuel]], and lots of things like the nano-suit use it. In others worlds, you might not care about Coal, but in IC, its invaluable.

*[[Uranium]]. You will need it to power your future nuclear reactor or to craft a nuke to blow up a mountain. Besides that, they are not involved in other recipes. They are rarer than other ores, but can be found at every layer. You will need an iron pickaxe to gather them.

[[file:first_steps7.png |500px| link=|center]]

Further away in the cave:

*Redstone: Good news: it’s much faster to mine with IC (Alblaka fixed the bug Mojang left); it will not take you ages, like I said in the beginning of that part. The 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.

*Diamond: Ha the diamond, everybody runs after them, try to get 3 of them and keep them in a chest, we will craft something awesome with them. You should know we can craft an industrial diamond with coal, I’ll show you later. There is something else to do with them other than waste them in tools or one-use armor.

*not shown here, but you know it: the Lapis-lazuli: Involved in the more advanced machines, you need '''BLOCKS''' of lapis to craft them, so if you find them now, just keep them until you have need of them

-Lava: I know, it’s not a mineable resource, but it’s used to power one of the most powerful generators: the [[Geothermal Generator]]. Keep in mind where are some lava lakes are to go back to later.

-Obsidian: you need some Obsidian for more than one reason: to go in the Nether, because you will need some glowing dust for mid-tech machines. The Obsidian is the only thing that can resist a nuke, keep in mind the nuclear reactor can make a nice hole. And Obsidian is a part of crafting an Industrial Diamond.

You know what you can gather under the surface, continue to collect some resources and go back to your base for the next step.

Now you’re safe at your base, you can smelt some of the ore you gathered from your trip; but be patient and don’t smelt all your ore, 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 I'll explain later.
So, before you build a Macerator, you need an Extractor and a Generator, but to build them, you must craft some Electric circuits, which need some Cables. Yeah, it seems complicated, and it is. That's why I'm writing a little tutorial just for you.
You must smelt 3 copper, then 9 others for a total of 12
After that, smelt 8 Tin to be able to craft 2 [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]] to use later on.

[[file:first_steps8.png |350x350px| link=|right]]

You will need 27 Iron which you must SMELT AGAIN to create [[Refined Iron]], which is a base of a lot of machines.

You remember the Sticky Resin you kept in the chest? Take it, and your Copper Ingots too. We will create some [[Cable|cables]]. You see it takes 6 Rubber and 3 Copper Ingots for every 6 Cables. Later you will need a large amount of them, but first you want just enough to make an Extractor. Once you have that, you can make Rubber much more efficiently.

Smelt your 6 Sticky Resin in any furnace to get 6 [[Rubber]].

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Rubber|B1=Rubber|C1=Rubber
|A2=Copper|B2=Copper|C2=Copper
|A3=Rubber|B3=Rubber|C3=Rubber
|Output=Insulated Copper Cable|OA=6
|Output-link=Insulated Copper Cable
}}
|}

Prepare one batch of 6 [[Cable|cables]] using the recipe that uses 6 Rubber and 3 Copper Ingots.

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table

|A2=Redstone|B2=Refined Iron|C2=Redstone
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Insulated Copper Cable|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=Electronic Circuit
}}
|}

Now we will craft our first [[Electronic Circuit]]. You need 6 [[Cable|cables]], 2 Redstone, and one [[Refined Iron]]. Like all other things on that page, it’s the base of the industry, so you'll be using it a lot.

Next we must craft the recipe of all machines: the [[Machine Block]].
Just take 8 [[Refined Iron]] and draw a box with them in the craft interface.

{|
|{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Refined Iron|B1=Refined Iron|C1=Refined Iron
|A2=Refined Iron|C2=Refined Iron
|A3=Refined Iron|B3=Refined Iron|C3=Refined Iron
|Output=Machine
}}
|}

FINALLY we can craft our first machine, but we need just 4 more [[Treetap|tree taps]], take 20 planks and craft them, after that take the 4 tree taps, a machine and an [[Electronic Circuit]] and '''TADA''' you can plant your [[Extractor]] where you want, but be careful, you can’t remove any machine by hand, it will be destroyed if you do. You will need a [[Wrench|special tool]] made with a [[Bronze|new metal]]. We will see that later.

{|
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Treetap|B1=Machine|C1=Treetap
|A2=Treetap|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Treetap
|Output=Extractor
}}
|}

Ok, you have your Extractor, but how does it work? You need '''ELECTRICITY''', made by a '''[[Generator|GENERATOR]]'''. Now you know what we need to make next. There are 2 ways to craft a [[Generator]]:

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=
|A2=|B2=Machine|C2=
|A3=|B3=Furnace|C3=
|linkB3=
|Output=Generator
}}

First, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Machine Block]] and a Furnace (8 Iron needed).

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=RE Battery|C1=
|A2=|B2=Refined Iron|C2=
|A3=|B3=Iron Furnace|C3=
|linkB2=|linkC2=
|linkB3=
|Output=Generator
}}

Or, you can use a [[RE Battery]], a [[Refined Iron]] and an [[Iron Furnace]] (6 Iron needed).

As you can see the second one is cheaper, and I recommend you to use that recipe as the 2 are exactly the same. I know you are asking yourself: how do I create an [[RE Battery]] and an [[Iron Furnace]]? For the Iron Furnace we will come back later, and for the battery it's now!!

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=
|A2=Tin|B2=Redstone|C2=Tin
|A3=Tin|B3=Redstone|C3=Tin
|Output=RE Battery
}}
1 Cable, 4 Tin and 2 Redstone. Easy, no?

Time to remember that recipe.

You need to assemble two [[RE Battery|Rechargeable Batteries]]. One is needed to build the Generator, and the second is needed to power your Extractor.

But wait! You just used your last [[Cable]]. It’s time to craft more, but this time we will not waste great quantities of resin. Go back in front of your [[Extractor]], and put 4 [[Sticky Resin]] into the top hole, and put some Redstone into the bottom hole (pure Redstone is like a 1 use low-efficient battery, but it works). With the Extractor, you get 3 Rubber for each Sticky Resin instead of just 1. Craft 2 batches of 6 [[Cable|cables]] with your [[Rubber]].

Now you can assemble your two RE Batteries.

Next we can craft the [[Generator]] to charge your batteries. Don't place the generator next to anything; I’ll explain why in the wiring section. Put your 2 empty batteries in the upper slot and put some (char)coal or other things that burn in the lower slot. You will need 3.5 (char)coal to fill up a single battery, but it is more efficient. You can place a chest right next to the generator and it will gather all your full batteries.

The empty batteries can stack up to 16, but the fully charged ones can’t be stacked. It’s the drawback of the re-usability. With a fully charged battery, power the [[Extractor]] for more [[Rubber]] and [[Cable|cables]].

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the incredible '''[[Macerator|MACERATOR]]''' which can double your mining productivity. Craft another [[Electronic Circuit|electronic circuit]], another [[Machine Block]] and collect the needed Cobblestone and Flint.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Flint|B1=Flint|C1=Flint
|A2=Cobblestone|B2=Machine|C2=Cobblestone
|B3=Electronic Circuit
|Output=Macerator
}}

Put your ore in the upper slot, and a battery in the bottom one, and wait for 2 [[Dusts|dust]] to magically appear from one ore, then, put that dust in an [[Electro Furnace]] and you will have 2 ingots for one ore. What, you don’t know how to create an [[Electro Furnace]]? It will be our next and final step of this long section.

You must know that the [[Macerator]] can do more things than create [[Dusts|dust]] from ore. It can create dust from coal too. The [[Dusts|coal dust]] is used in a lot of things. I recommend you gather 3 or 4 stacks of coal dust as soon as possible. The [[Macerator]] can make Flint out of Gravel. This may not seem so, but it’s really useful. It can also make Cobblestone from smooth Stone, and incredibly, make SAND out of Cobblestone. Cool, isn’t it?

And Now the [[Electro Furnace]]. But first you need to craft an [[Iron Furnace]]. The second recipe is here because of a certain mod that overwrites the 1st recipe, but it’s the same thing.

|Output=Iron Furnace
}}
|}

The Iron Furnace is 25% faster than the standard Furnace. You only need 6 Coal to heat 60 units instead of the 8 Coal for 64 units for the Stone Furnace, but we can do it faster with the Electric Furnace:

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Electronic Circuit
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone
|Output=Electro Furnace
}}

I know, it’s another [[Electronic Circuit|circuit]] to craft, but I warned you it will be everywhere.
Like the other machine, you put the stuff you want to heat in the upper part, and the battery in the bottom, its 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace, and there is no energy waste. If there is nothing left in the top, it immediately stops consuming energy.

You now have 1 [[Extractor]], 1 [[Generator]], 1 [[Macerator]] and 1 [[Electro Furnace]]. It’s not much. If you think you can use more things, you're right.

Adding a [[BatBox]] will provide a much larger energy storage buffer for your Generator and therefore simplify its operation.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Wooden Planks|B1=Insulated Copper Cable|C1=Wooden Planks
|A2=RE Battery|B2=RE Battery|C2=RE Battery
|A3=Wooden Planks|B3=Wooden Planks|C3=Wooden Planks
|Output=BatBox
}}

Next you can 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.

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass
|A3=Insulated Copper Cable|B3=Generator|C3=Insulated Copper Cable
|Output=Solar Panel
}}

Place your Generator directly on top of the BatBox. Run cable from the output face of the BatBox to your machines. Connect your Solar Panel to the side of the BatBox opposite to the output face. Now your BatBox will receive a constant trickle from the Solar Panel and can also receive energy from your Generator.

For more production, craft 1 more [[Generator]], 2 [[Macerator|Macerators]] and 2 [[Electro Furnace|Electro Furnaces]], and all will be faster. Don't forget the [[RE Battery|batteries]]; 2 is not enough.

You can see the inside of my little home, 3 Macerators, 3 Electro Furnaces, 1 Extractor, 1 Generator in view and 2 unknown machines, you can see I’ve put a chest in front of my generator to gather the charged batteries when I stalk outdoor.
Next time we will need lot of batteries and cables for see the basics of wiring.

==The power of bronze==

Now you have a little but fully functional base, that allow you to get twice as many ingots for every run you get. But you can’t move any of the machines or you must rebuild it from scrap.

Now we will craft the engi-friend tool: the [[Wrench]]. The Wrench is not made of Iron, it’s made of [[Bronze|BRONZE]]. But I can hear your little voice: "''A new ore I haven't found? How can it be so rare?''" '''YOU FOOL''', [[Bronze]] is made from '''COPPER + TIN'''.

[[file:first_steps21.png | link=|left]]

You need the dust form of those 2 ores, and mix them in a 3:1 ratio (place in the crafting table doesn’t matter)

[[file:first_steps22.png | link=|right]]

After that, you have just have just to smelt the [[Bronze|Bronze Powder]] in a furnace.

'''TADA''', you have a new metal to play with. You can use the recipe to craft all the tools and armor you can build with Iron. They are a little slower, but 30% more durable '''HAYO'''.

<center>[[file:first_steps23.png | link=]] [[file:first_steps24.png | link=]]</center>

With all that Bronze you can keep your Iron for building machines, and now, you know how to craft a wrench (the Y on the right screen, made of 6 Bronze Ingots).

The use of a wrench is incredibly easy: just right click on the machine you want to remove; be careful, if the machine wasn’t empty you will lose everything it contained. And sometimes you can make a ''mistake'', and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft, its unlucky, but it happens. Only 4 machines can be retrieved safely every time: [[MFE Unit]], [[HV Transformer]], [[Terraformer]] and '''[[Miner|MINERs]]'''.

<big>SECOND STEPS</big>

Now, we have got some machines, but don't stop mining. Pardon, mining. The [[Miner]].
It's a very good machine for lazy people. But if you want one, you must work hard.
