We will assume the reader's familiarity with multiblock machines like the [[Large Chemical Reactor]] (LCR) and the [[Electric Blast Furnace]] (EBF), amongst others. These machines are used extensively throughout the platline. Platinum Metallic Powder Dust (PMP) can be acquired directly in multiple ways,
Before any purification can begin, we first must acquire some starting material. At EV, before easy access to Platinum Ore, there are several ores that we can target. These will be referred to as '''platinum-bearing purified ores''' from now on.
# Nickel Ore.
# Chalcopyrite/Tetrahedrite/Pentlandite Ore. Once purified,
# Platinum Combs from [[Bee Species|Platinum Bees]]. Go to Main Cycle 2 of [[#Basic Platinum Extraction|Basic Platinum Extraction]].
# Centrifuging Endstone Dust. 25% chance for 2x PMP. Can be grown with Yellow Stonelilly ([[IC2 Crops]]).
# Centrifuging Moon Stone Dust. 5% chance for 8x PMP.
The pre-processing of materials to yield usable purified ores or PMP are not commonly thought of as part of the platline. There are also many chemicals that we will need for a seamless platline to function, listed in the table below. Chlorine and Water are not listed below, though they are also needed.
