Arc Furnace, Atomic Forge, and Fluid Alloying for Advanced Materials
The arc furnace, atomic forge, casting, and fluid alloying are the core processing systems for producing high-tier materials in Oritech. This guide covers the known recipes and how these machines convert raw resources into advanced alloys and components.
Arc Furnace Smelting
The Arc Furnace handles direct ore-to-ingot conversions and basic alloy creation. It has 10 total recipes. For example, you can smelt copper, gold, iron, nickel, or platinum gems into four of their respective ingots. Beyond simple smelting, the arc furnace is essential for creating advanced alloys from base ingots:
Nickel Ingot →
Adamant Ingot
Iron Ingot →
Biosteel Ingot
Platinum Ingot →
Duratium Ingot
Gold Ingot →
Electrum Ingot
Nickel Ingot →
Energite Ingot
Engraving with the Atomic Forge
The Atomic Forge uses an engraving process with 19 recipes. This machine combines a primary item with two secondary items to produce a new component. Key recipes include:
Processing Unit + 2
Silicon Wafers →
Advanced Computing Engine
Super AI Chip + 2
Adamant Ingots →
Heisenberg Compensator
Unholy Intelligence + 2
Adamant Ingots →
Heisenberg Compensator
Heisenberg Compensator + 2
Overcharged Crystals →
Prometheum
Duratium Ingot + 2
Advanced Computing Engines →
Super AI Chip
Deepslate + 2
Duratium Ingots →
Reinforced Deepslate
Carbon Fibre Strands + 2
Silicon →
Silicon Wafer
The engraving process also handles dust production and circuit crafting. Combining a copper, gold, iron, nickel, or platinum gem with 2
Fluxite produces 2 of the corresponding metal dust. For circuits, you combine
Redstone Dust with a basic circuit tag to make an advanced control circuit, or with an osmium ingot tag to make a basic control circuit. Diamond dust with an advanced circuit tag yields an elite control circuit, and refined obsidian dust with an elite circuit tag yields an ultimate control circuit.
Item Casting
Item Casting is used to shape molten materials into specific items, with 14 recipes. The input is a fluid, and the output is a solid item. Known outputs include:
Adamant Ingot
Biosteel Ingot
Duratium Ingot
Electrum Ingot
Energite Ingot
Nickel Ingot and
Nickel Nugget
Platinum Ingot and
Platinum Nugget
Steel Ingot
Fluxite
Biomass
Biofuel Bucket
Turbofuel Bucket
Block Casting
Block Casting is the counterpart for producing storage blocks, with 10 recipes. The outputs are blocks of the following materials:
Fluid Alloying
Fluid Alloying combines two or more fluids to create a new molten metal. Only 6 recipes exist, and the known outputs are Molten Adamant and Molten Biosteel. The exact input fluids are not specified, but they are used to feed the casting machines.
Practical Usage Tips
- Use the Arc Furnace for early alloy progression, as it only requires base ingots.
- The Atomic Forge is your pathway to high-end components like
Super AI Chips and
Heisenberg Compensators, which are then used for
Prometheum. - Casting is the final step for turning molten alloys into usable ingots, nuggets, or blocks.
- For large-scale production, set up a fluid alloying loop to supply your casting tables with Molten Adamant and Molten Biosteel.
- Note that
Fluxite appears in both engraving (as a catalyst for dust) and as a castable item, so plan your production lines accordingly.
