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 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. |
