In this era, you’ll need mostly bronze. Bronze is made with tin and copper. To make bronze dust you’ll need to use the Mortar on tin and copper ingots to turn them into dust. The dusts can then be combined into Bronze Dust which can then be smelted inside a furnace. Once you have crafted your Alloy Smelter, you can craft 4 bronze ingots from 1 tin and 3 copper.
Line 7 ⟶ 6:
Steam is hot. You’ll need decent pipes to avoid accidents with steam leaks. Wooden pipes can be used for transporting water to the boilers; using wooden pipes for steam might harm you.
Also note that GregTech uses a different method of measuring fluids.<br>1mB = 1Liter = 1L<br>1bucket = 1000Liter = 1 cubic meter = 1 block worth of fluid
▲And also there are 20 ticks (/t) in a second (/s), so when mentioned 6mB/t or 6L/t it equates to 120liters/s or 120L/s
== Boilers ==
Line 25 ⟶ 21:
To avoid problems with automation of these boilers, it is recommended to input water from below and output steam from the top since the sides can be used for both auto input and output, causing steam to get into your water pipes.
In most GT boilers 1L of water equals 150L of steam. However, this is not true for the Lava Boiler as it creates 300L of steam from 1L of water.
=== Explosion
Adding water to a dry but heated Boiler will cause an explosion.
Line 37 ⟶ 32:
This Boiler does not need coal to produce steam. It needs to be in sunlight to produce steam.
It will produce 6L/t of steam while heated
This Boiler will be producing less steam over time after being used for more than 3.5 hours (
the simple solar boiler needs to be wrenched every once in a while rather than fueled
Also unlike other boilers, The Simple solar boiler will only extract steam through its output square side; default side for this is the back side.
Line 46 ⟶ 41:
=== High Pressure Lava Boiler (Steel) ===
This is the most efficient single block Boiler. It uses lava as fuel and produces 30L/t while heated.
1 bucket of lava equals to 300
== Steam Machines ==
Line 54 ⟶ 49:

=== Configuration
All Steam Machines will have an exhaust side; default side for this is the back side. (The square you see on the machines in the picture above is the exhaust) The Machine will exhaust steam every time it has completed an operation. If the Exhaust is blocked the machine will not be able to complete its operation. You can change the side of this exhaust with a GT Wrench.
Standing near this exhaust may harm you.
=== Energy
Steam Machines only works with recipes that requires 16EU/t or less. The steam/t which Steam Machines drain can be calculated by multiplying EU/t cost by 2 The crafting time is also doubled with Steam Machines.
Line 79 ⟶ 74:
=== Macerator ===
The Macerator is used to double the yield of ores. It is using 4L/t of steam and macerates one item every 40 seconds, resulting in a total steam cost of
