Once you hit HV, you should be using an HV macerator to get additional byproducts, both with the ore block and after thermal centrifuging.
=== Smeltery tips ===
The Tinker’s Construct multiblock smeltery cannot make most blocks - the casting basin is used for glass, seared stone and not much else. The smeltery does not produce aluminum ingots, but it can create aluminum brass alloy for making molds and pour ‘raw aluminum’ in an ingot cast. It also does not double ores.

*When looking at a long list of recipes in a specific machine, click the left arrow on the bottom to go to the last recipe. That is typically where you can find the basic ingredients recipe.
*If an alloy has two ingredients, the alloy smelter is usually the fastest way to make it. For example, cupronickel can be made with dust or ingots of copper and nickel directly in the alloy smelter instead of mixing the dusts in a mixer and then smelting.
= Crafting =
A key concept and sanity saver for this pack is batch crafting. As you may have noticed, most recipes have multiple steps and a lot of ingredients to juggle. Making an entire stack of screws or multiple mortars will make later crafting much less of a hassle.
* Craft multiples at once, as resources allow. Certain tools and parts are used often in many recipes.
* Once you have iron, upgrade to a Crafting Station. It will connect to an adjacent chest and allow you to pull items into the crafting grid with NEI as well.
* With a wrench, collect bookshelf blocks from villages/dungeons. These can be used to get an early Forestry Worktable. The worktable can remember up to nine recipes and has its own internal inventory. Right-click on a remembered recipe to lock it. Caution: breaking the worktable erases all recipes.
*Run multiple furnaces/machines in parallel whenever possible to reduce processing time.
*Chunkload your base to keep machines running while you're out exploring. You'll need to install [[Additional Mods|FTB Utilities and FTB Library]], which are not included by default.
Always check and recheck common recipes as you get new machines and advance in tech. Something annoying now (like circuit boards) may become much easier with just the right machine (like an assembler). Even recipes like chests have an assembler version to save on resources. In fact, it has two! So be sure to check recipes often.▼

Once you find the nearest Naga area, bring a decent crossbow. You can probably win with a bow and arrow
