How to Process Ores into Ingots and Dusts
Raw Ores and Storage Blocks
The mod adds Raw Lead, Raw Nickel, Raw Silver, and Raw Tin, plus their compact storage forms: Raw Lead Block, Raw Nickel Block, Raw Silver Block, and Raw Tin Block. Store raw ore in the block form to save space, then break the block back into raw ore when you are ready to process it.
Smelting and Blasting
Raw Lead, Raw Nickel, Raw Silver, and Raw Tin each smelt into their ingot: Lead Ingot, Nickel Ingot, Silver Ingot, and Tin Ingot. The same ores also blast in a Blast Furnace for a faster result. Feed raw ore into either furnace type to get ingots.
Dusts and Gears
Dusts are the intermediate form for alloying and crafting. Lead Dust, Nickel Dust, Silver Dust, Tin Dust, Bronze Dust, Constantan Dust, Electrum Dust, and Invar Dust all exist in the mod. Gears are crafted from the matching ingot: Lead Gear, Nickel Gear, Silver Gear, Tin Gear, Bronze Gear, Constantan Gear, Electrum Gear, and Invar Gear.
Nuggets and Blocks
Each metal also has a nugget and a block form. Lead Nugget, Nickel Nugget, Silver Nugget, Tin Nugget, Bronze Nugget, Constantan Nugget, Electrum Nugget, and Invar Nugget store small amounts, while Lead Block, Nickel Block, Silver Block, Tin Block, Bronze Block, Constantan Block, Electrum Block, and Invar Block store nine ingots each. Use the block form for bulk storage and the nugget form for fine crafting.
