How to Produce Aluminum, Steel, and Advanced Alloys

Aluminum Chain

Start from Bauxite Ore. Crush it into Bauxite Dust and Bauxite Tiny Dust, then process through your forge_hammer and furnace or blasting setup. The result is Aluminum Ingot, Aluminum Nugget, and Aluminum Dust. Cast Aluminum Large Plate, Aluminum Gear, Aluminum Ring, Aluminum Rotor, and Aluminum Blade from the ingots. Aluminum Cable carries power, and Aluminum Tank and Aluminum Barrel store fluids. Block of Aluminum is a compact storage form.

Steel and Stainless

Steel comes from smelting or blasting iron-chain inputs; store it as Block of Steel. Stainless Steel requires additional alloying — combine with Chromium and Nickel Dusts. Block of Stainless Steel is your structural stock. Blastproof Alloy Large Plate and Blastproof Casing use these metals for reactor and high-tier machine builds.

Specialty Alloys

Battery Alloy Ingot combines Antimony and Lead chains — keep Antimony Dust and Lead Dust flowing. Soldering Alloy Ingot uses similar inputs for circuit work. Cupronickel, Invar, Kanthal, and Electrum each have dedicated Dust and Ingot forms; store them as Blocks for compactness. Neodymium, Titanium, Tungsten, and Iridium are higher-tier and feed Advanced Motor and Advanced Pump production. Automate each chain with an Assembler and route finished ingots into labeled storage.
