OR
Materials: 5× Iron Ingot; 1× Furnace
Produces: 1× Iron Furnace
Template:Grid2/Crafting Table
- Recipes:
- The Iron Furnace is used to craft the Electro Furnace, Generator, and the Geothermal Generator.

Electric Furnace
The Electric Furnace cooks or smelts materials once every 7 seconds, or 30% faster than the Furnace and 12.5% faster than the Iron Furnace. It uses energy or batteries instead of fuel. Fuel efficiency (using a Generator) is: via battery, 28% greater than Iron Furnace; via cables (with two or more machines running simultaneously), equivalent to Iron Furnace.

Advanced Machines
The following are Advanced Machines, requiring Advanced Ingredients to craft and performing Advanced Duties.
Tesla Coil
The Tesla Coil (research...)
- Crafting:
Materials: 4× Cables, 1× HV Transformer, 1× Advanced Circuit, 1× Advanced Machine
Produces: 1× Tesla Coil
Template:Grid2/Crafting Table
- Recipes:
The Tesla Coil is not used in any recipes.
- Notes:
(research)
- -A Wrench will successfully dismantle this block. A Pick or Drill will only produce a Machine. Anything else yields nothing.
- -The Tesla Coil has a range of 4 meters (9x9x9 meter cube with itself in the center) and can strike mobs (players included) through walls.
- -It deals 10 hearts of damage per strike. Each strike takes 5000 EU (half a battery).
- -The cool-down is directly proportional to how many EU/s the Tesla Coil receives. 50 EU/s means the cool-down is 5 seconds, 25 EU/s means it's 10 seconds.
- -The strike has no visible or audible effect.
- -Water and lava have no effect on the Tesla Coil.
- -If the Tesla Coil is fully charged, it will look for at mob to strike if any of the following applies:
- -An active signal source, such as a lever or a redstone torch, exists on a surface directly adjacent to the Tesla Coil (but not on the Tesla Coil itself).
- -A piece of redstone dust, placed next to the Tesla Coil, begins transmitting a signal into it. (A continuous signal will only cause one strike. An alternating one, such as from a clock generator, will cause multiple strikes.)
- -While looking for a mob to strike, the Tesla Coil drains slightly less than 40 EU/s (?verify).
Other Advanced Machines
The Miner, Terraformer, and Matter Generator are advanced machines with many complex elements. Because of the complexity, these advanced machines have their own pages.
