Machines

Machines are devices that accomplish tasks such as increasing smelting speed and mining gain, as well as many other improvements.
TODO:capture, format, and insert 2nd-state block images (where applicable)

Iron Furnace

The Iron Furnace cooks or smelts materials once every 8 seconds, 20% faster than the Furnace and subsequently uses 20% less fuel.

  • Crafting:
There are 2 ways to build the Iron Furnace. The second method is recommended for being frugal with limited iron supplies.

Materials:Iron Ingot
Produces: 1× Iron Furnace Template:Grid2/Crafting Table OR
Materials: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.

Notes:

-Can be dismantled with a Wrench.

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.

  • Crafting:

Materials:Redstone Dust, 1× Iron Furnace, 1× Electronic Circuit
Produces: 1× Electro Furnace Template:Grid2/Crafting Table

  • Recipes:

The Electro Furnace is not used in any recipes.

  • Notes:
-Requires 3 EU/s to operate continually
-Takes 313 EUs per operation (1 battery will accomplish 31.9 operations, which rounds up to 32 operations in practice.)
-Failure to use a Wrench to dismantle this block will only produce an Iron Furnace to collect upon its destruction

Macerator

The Macerator effectively doubles Ore mining gain by producing 2 dust for every ore, where each dust can be smelted into an ingot. Additionally, Coal Dust can be produced from Coal (1-to-1 ratio).

Materials:flints, 1× Electronic Circuits, 1× Machine 2 Cobblestone
Produces: 1× Macerator Template:Grid2/Crafting Table

  • Recipes:

The Macerator is used to produce

  • 2 Iron Dust from 1 iron ore.
  • 2 Tin Dust from 1 tin ore.
  • 2 Copper Dust from 1 copper ore.
  • 1 Coal Dust from 1 coal.
  • 2 Gold Dust from 1 Gold ore.
  • 1 Flint from 1 Gravel.
  • 1 Cobblestone from 1 Stone.
  • 1 Sand from 1 Cobblestone.
  • 1 String from 1 Wool.


  • Notes:
-Requires 2 EU/s to operate continually
-Takes 625 EUs per operation (1 battery will accomplish 16 operations)
-Failure to use a Wrench to dismantle this block will only produce a Machine to collect upon its destruction

Extractor

The Extractor produces Rubber from Wood as efficiently as possible (1-to-1 ratio) and changes clumpy fuel into liquid fuel.
insert GUI image?

  • Crafting:

Materials:Treetaps, 1× Electronic Circuit, 1× Machine
Produces: 1× Extractor Template:Grid2/Crafting Table

  • Recipes:

The Extractor is used to produce Rubber and IndustrialCraft Fuel.

  • Notes:
-Requires 2 EU/s to operate continually
-Takes 313 EUs per operation (1 battery will accomplish 31.9 operations)
-Failure to use a Wrench to dismantle this block will only produce a Machine to collect upon its destruction

Compressor

The Compressor is a necessary part of the process for making Industrial Diamond, the Nano Suit, Fuel, and Advanced Alloy.
insert GUI image?

  • Crafting:

Materials:Stone, 1× Machine, 1× Electronic Circuit
Produces: 1× Compressor Template:Grid2/Crafting Table

  • Recipes:

The Compressor is used to make

  • Advanced Alloy out of Metal Block
  • Carbon Plate out of Combined Carbon Fibers
  • Compressed Hyd. Coalclump out of Hydrated Coalclump
  • Compressed Plantclump out of Plantclump
  • Compressed Coal Ball out of Coal Ball
  • Industrial Diamond out of Coal Chunk
  • Sandstone out of Sand
  • Glowstone out of Glowstone dust.

Compressor is used to craft the Recycler.

  • Notes:
-Requires 2 EU/s to operate continually
-Takes 625 EUs per operation (1 battery will accomplish 16 operations)
-Failure to use a Wrench to dismantle this block will only produce a Machine to collect upon its destruction

Canning Machine

The Canning Machine is used to put certain Food items such as Bread, Cookies, and pork (Cooked and Raw) into stackable Tin Cans.
insert GUI image?

  • Crafting:

Materials:Iron Ingots, 1× Electronic Circuit, 1× Treetap
Produces: 1× Canning Machine Template:Grid2/Crafting Table

  • Recipes:

The Canning Machine is used to make Canned Food.

  • Notes:
-Requires no electricity to function, and instead requires 1 tin can for each heart's worth of food you put in the machine.
-Interrupting the process of canning can result in loss of cans.
-Failure to use a Wrench to dismantle this block will only produce a Machine to collect upon its destruction

Recycler

The Recycler will turn any material into scrap at a 15% ratio regardless of material. (source)
insert GUI image?

  • Crafting:

Materials:Dirt, 2× Refined Iron, 1× Compressor, 1× Glowstone Dust
Produces: 1× Recycler Template:Grid2/Crafting Table

  • Recipes:

The Recycler is used to produce scrap.

  • Notes:
-Requires 1 EU/s to operate continually
-Takes 35 EUs per operation (1 battery will accomplish 285.7 operations)
-Failure to use a Wrench to dismantle this block will only produce a Machine to collect upon its destruction

Crystal Charger

This block is no longer in use since IndustiralCraft²!

The sole purpose of the Crystal Charger is to charge Energy Crystals.
insert GUI image?

  • Crafting:

Materials:Generators, 2× Glowstone Dust, 1× Cable
Produces: 1× Crystal Charger Template:Grid2/Crafting Table

  • Recipes:

The Crystal Charger is not used in any recipes.

  • Notes:
-Requires 13 EU/s to operate continually
-40,000 EU required to charge an Energy Crystal (4 batteries will charge 1 Energy Crystal

assumed from 4 batteries consumed)

-Failure to use a Wrench to dismantle this block will only produce a Machine to collect upon its destruction

Advanced Machines

The following are Advanced Machines, requiring Advanced Ingredients to craft and performing Advanced Duties.

Tesla Coil

The Tesla Coil (research...)

  • Crafting:

Materials: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.
