Processing Metals and Dusts with Specialized Factories

Alongside standard furnace factories, the mod includes specialized machines designed for heavy metal smelting and material breakdown.

Smelting Ores with the Blast Furnace Factory

While the Furnace Factory smelts general items in batches, the Blast Furnace Factory is built specifically for processing ores and raw metals:

1. Place down your Blast Furnace Factory (available in Tier 1 with two slots, Tier 2 with four slots, or Tier 3 with six slots).

2. Set up your fuel or energy supply.

3. Insert raw ores or metals into the input area. The factory automatically splits the batch across matching input slots to process your ores quickly.

Grinding Items with the Crusher Factory

To break materials down instead of smelting them, use a Crusher Factory:

1. Place the Crusher Factory block and access its interface.

2. Insert your materials into the input slots. The machine grinds items down into dusts or raw components.

3. Observe the moving face animations on the front of the block to confirm that the crushing process is active.
