How to Make Wires and Rods Using the Rolling Mill

Setting Up the Rolling Mill

The Rolling Mill is a dedicated kinetic workstation used to press raw metals into the wires and rods required for electrical components and wiring.

1. Place the Rolling Mill down in your workshop.

2. Connect rotational power to the machine using shafts, cogwheels, or gearboxes from your Create setup.

3. Inspect the kinetic stress stats on the Rolling Mill to verify that your kinetic network has enough spare stress capacity to operate it under load.

Pressing Metals

Once spinning, the Rolling Mill is ready to process metal items:

• Check Just Enough Items (JEI) to view all compatible metal inputs, including recipes such as pressing a copper sheet into two copper wires.
• Feed supported metal sheets or ingots into the Rolling Mill. The kinetic rollers will process the material and output finished wires or metal rods.
• Collect the resulting wires to craft wire spools and electrical connectors, which are essential for distributing Forge Energy across your base.
• The machine also handles other specialized mod recipes visible in JEI, such as pressing Lapis Sheets if Immersive Engineering is installed.
