Getting Started with Beyond Earth

To begin your journey into space, you must first master the production of Steel, the foundational material for all space-faring technology.

1. Steel Production

Steel is created by processing Iron Ingots in a Blast Furnace. Unlike the vanilla blast furnace, the Beyond Earth Blast Furnace is a specialized machine crafted from bricks.

• Blast Furnace Recipe: 4 Bricks, 4 Brick Blocks, and 1 Furnace
• Usage: Place Iron Ingots and Coal inside to produce Steel Ingots

2. Metal Pressing

Once you have Steel, you need to create Plates and Compressed Ingots.

• Hammer: Crafted with 2 Sticks, 2 Iron Nuggets, and 1 Iron Ingot. Use it in a crafting table with an ingot to create a Plate
• Compressor: A machine used to create Compressed Steel, Desh, Ostrum, and Calorite. It requires Forge Energy (FE) to operate

3. The NASA Workbench

The NASA Workbench is the heart of your space program. It is a large crafting station used to assemble rockets and rovers.

• Recipe: 4 Compressed Steel, 1 Steel Ingot, 2 Levers, 1 Redstone Torch, and 1 Crafting Table
