Your power network is now ready to accommodate many early-tier machines. Craft a few Basic Universal Cables (made from 2 Steel Ingots and a piece of Redstone) and create a line of them trailing from your Heat Generator. Now you can begin expanding your power network so that you can power multiple machines at once.Smelt the Steel Dusts into Steel Ingots.With Carbon still in the Secondary Material Buffer, place the Enriched Iron in the Primary Material Slot.If the Metallurgic Infuser is receiving adequate power, it will begin 'infusing' the Iron with Carbon, which results in Enriched Iron. Place an Iron Ingot inside of the Primary Material Slot (red slot, left of the arrow).The Secondary Material Buffer (bar on the far left) can't store more than one type of material at a time, so if another type of material (other than Carbon) has already been added (check by hovering over the Secondary Material Buffer), click the DUMP button to expel it.This will fill up the Secondary Material Slot with Carbon. Insert a few Coal/Charcoal into the Secondary Material Slot (the purple slot on the far left).Use the Metallurgic Infuser to create Steel Ingots.Craft a Metallurgic Infuser, and connect it to any available power source (e.g an Heat Generator).You will need to create a few basic crafting components in the Metallurgic Infuser before creating the wires needed to expand your power network, which are made from Steel Ingots. Craft a Heat Generator, which can be powered by either coal/charcoal (Active Power mode) or nearby lava blocks (Passive Power mode).Ĭreating basic components / Expanding your power network.Smelt the Osmium Ore you've collected into Osmium Ingots.If you have a Pulverizer (TE) or a Grindstone (AE 2), you can grind the ore into dust and then smelt it, effectively doubling your ingot production.

Collect plenty of Osmium Ore, which can be mined with Stone grade tools and above.

This tutorial will get you started with the basics of Mekanism, from obtaining a source of power to crafting earlier-tier machines.
