The Tinker's Construct Smeltery is a variably sized [[multiblock]] structure necessary to progress in the [[Stone Age]]. It's primary use is casting basic metal parts before the [[MV]] [[Extruder]], mass-processing dusts or ingots, recycling metal items, creating casts, molds or extruder shapes, and solidifying glass blocks. Its functions are taken over by various specialized GregTech machines in later tiers.
== How to Build ==
Line 38:
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.
==
Players familiar with the TiCon Smeltery in other packs may be caught out by some of the differences in GT:NH.
* Casts can only be made with Aluminum Brass, not gold
* Metal blocks are only made with Compressors
* Molten metals made in the Smeltery can't be used for GregTech recipes; use a [[Fluid Extractor]]
* Higher tier metal parts are made in the [[Extruder]] with casts, not the Smeltery
The Smeltery does not require a Drain in order to be a valid structure - however at least one Drain is needed to get anything out of it. When correctly built the Controller will light up like a furnace and emit flame particles.
Incomplete Structure
* Controller is not oriented with the back touching the interior of the Smeltery
* No lava container block on the same y level as the Controller
* Invalid or missing blocks in the walls or base
* Block(s) inside the smeltery, often from Endermen
== Tips ==
* To melt mobs, there must be molten fluid in the Smeltery already.
* Chisel Clear Glass to get vanilla Glass and other variants.
