How to Forge Steel Ingots with a Heated Basin

Setting Up the Heated Mixing Basin

To forge steel ingots, you need a kinetic mixing station capable of reaching high temperatures. Start by placing a basin directly beneath a mechanical mixer. Position a Blaze Burner beneath the basin to provide the required thermal energy.

For standard heating, standard fuels suffice, but high-heat processing requires specialized fuel. Power your Blaze Burner with uranium fuel to reach the intense heat levels required for industrial metal alloys. Connect rotational power to the mechanical mixer using shafts and cogs so the mixer head can spin.

Mixing Iron and Coal

Once the basin is properly heated and powered, introduce the raw ingredients:

• Feed iron into the basin.
• Add coal into the basin alongside the iron.

As the mechanical mixer operates over the heated basin, it will combine the coal and iron together into steel ingots. You can automate this process by running conveyor belts or chutes into the basin to continuously drop coal and iron, and by attaching an output chute or basin filter to extract finished steel ingots into storage containers for your rocket assembly lines.
