Line 43:
The Casting Basin makes blocks, but has very limited uses in GT:NH. The primary one is glass, followed by Brownstone for faster paths and Seared Stone for expanding the Smeltery. Metal blocks are restricted to the [[Compressor]]. Melting stone is slow and takes twenty blocks to yield one Seared Stone, but does have the advantage of being automatic vs. crafting more grout and bricks.
Molten metals from the Smeltery cannot be used in GregTech recipes, with the exception of crossbow bolts. Bolts require Smeltery melted metal to craft. To extract the molten metal from the Smeltery pour 1,000mb/L into an iron bucket right-clicked onto a Casting Table, or any amount into a fluid container such as Tank (BC Factory/Iron Tanks), Fluid Tank (EnderIO or GregTech), or Seared Tank (Tinkers). Smeltery molten metals cannot be placed in IC2 cells but can be picked up with Large Fluid Cells from a tank. Fluid pipes can also be used for [[logistics]].
== Troubleshooting ==
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
* Casts can only be made with Aluminum Brass, not Gold
* The Controller's GUI only shows one Seared Tank's lava at a time, though it will use them in series.
* Molten metals made in the Smeltery can't be used for GregTech recipes; use a [[Fluid Extractor]].
** Exception: Making Bolts. Bolts require metal melted in the Smeltery for the [[Fluid Solidifer]] recipes.
* Higher tier metal parts are made in the [[Extruder]] with casts, not the Smeltery
* [[NEI]] will only show wooden parts for making casts, but wooden parts cannot be crafted; use cobblestone.
Line 68 ⟶ 71:
* Smeltery contents is stored in the Controller. Any other block can be added/removed and it will keep its contents.
* Universal Fluid Cells can pick up fluids from partially filled casts with Shift + right-click.
* Dump fluids into the Smeltery by right-clicking
* One of the few GT compatible fluids the Smeltery can make is molten glass, but it has to be poured out into a bucket.
