1 Basics steps in a new world
You have downloaded and installed the
mod and you have generated a new map, but you
really don’t know where you begin. I must
answer that : like all other map you have begin
in, gather some wood, then some cobble and
coal and build a little house (or a cave as you
wish) for go through your first night.
Here is mine with little flower, have a
pretty house is always a plus, even if it’s just
for you, and I can easily expand it.
Beware of the mobs if you are not in
peaceful, the creepers can blow up what you
built, so use some torches for light the area.
Keep in mind you will need lot of place
for improve your industry, try to get a good
spot with lot of space not too far away, like
that sand plain I can see from my roof (and lot
of sand for more purposes)
Don’t forget to add some chests and a
bed in your little place
Nothing new here, but you must begin with a good base if you want to go further. Next part we will
see new things.

2 in research for the first ingredients
and first machines
You have a little base with 4 walls and a roof, with some chests, a bed, a furnace and a crafting table,
but you want more I think and I agree with you, so take some axe we will gather our first needed
material : RUBBER
You will need LOT of lumber for build our first machine, an extractor, and a basic generator, 34 logs
precisely, but take more it will be needed for power the generator and others stuffs. And keep the
sapling, I’ll explain why in a future section.
Can you smell the fresh air of new toys? So
take 5 planks into the workshop and craft your
first IC tool: a tree taps;
Now craft 5 others ones and…
…extract rubber from logs like that!!
I know, 30 planks + 18 logs for just 6 rubbers is
expensive, but trust in me and it will cost less
in a few time.
But for now drop that into a chest, and gather torches, pickaxes and food, we will go to the center of
the earth!!
The second thing you must gather is REDSTONE, yes that next-to useless red powder you have in
astronomical quantity without an use of them are the base of the industrial electricity. Off course
you will need an iron pickaxe for extract that rock, but you must be really unlucky if you don’t find
them on the path. And same thing for copper and Tin, there is lot of them on the way.

Here is a screenshot of a natural cave where you can see all-but three types of ores you can gather,
from left to right:
-Gold, their value is highly better with IC, especially in his dust form, its involved in mid-tech
machines, we will come back in the future
-the white thing in the top: Tin, involved in base of minecraft, you must have a little at the begin,
luckily, their lot of them in the world
- under the tin : Copper, like the tin, its involved in base of IC, like the cable, you must gather a good
stock for the begin, and like tin, they are a lot in the world
-Iron: EVERY SINGLE MACHINE use iron, it’s the ore you must hunt the most, you will be always short
in iron, you know what you must do now.
-Coal: his value was HIGHLY raised, if you want torches or furnace’s fuel, think charcoal, the coal is
involved in lot of things, include the most advanced. With macerated coal (coal in dust form) you can
build solar panel, fuel, and lots of things like the nano-suit, in others worlds, you don’t care about
coal, in industry, its invaluable
-the greenie or at the right : Uranium, yes you have listen right, uranium, like the thing you will need
to power your future nuclear reactor, or to craft a NUKE to blow up a mountain !! Instead of that,
they are not involved in other craft, it’s rarer than others ore, but can be found at every layers (need
iron pickaxe to gather)

Further away in the cave:
-redstone: good news, it’s much more faster to mine with IC (Alblaka have fix the bug Mojang left) it
will not take you ages, like I said in the begin of that part, the redstone is involved in most part of IC
craft, especially the basics one, we need some for crafting the first part of machine, and others things
later
-Diamond: ha the diamond, everybody run after them, try to get 3 of them and keep them in a chest,
we will craft something awesome with, you must know we can craft an industrial diamond with coal,
I’ll show you later, there is more something else to do than waste them in tool or one-use armor.
-not here but you know him: the lapis-lazuli: involved in the more advanced machines, you need
BLOCKS of lapis for craft them, so if you find them now, just keep them until you need
-lava: I know, it’s not a minable resources, but it’s a source of one of the most powerful generator:
the geothermal generator, keep in mind where are some lava lakes to go later.
-obsidian: you must need some obsidian for more than one raison: to go in the nether, you will need
some glowing dust for mid-tech machines. The obsidian is the only thing that can resist a nuke, keep
in mind the nuclear reactor can do a nice hole. And obsidian is a part of crafting an industrial
diamond.
You know what are all you can gather under the surface, continue to collect some resources and go
back to your base for the next step.

Now you’re safe at your base, we can smelt some of the ore you gather from your trip; but be patient
and don’t smelt all your ore, in a few times, you will be able to craft an incredible machine: the
macerator, who will bring to you 2 dusts from one ore and other stuff ill explain in his time.
So, before that macerator you must need an extractor and a generator, but for builds theirs, you
must craft some Electric circuits, who need itself some cables, yeah, it seems something complicated,
and it is, it’s why I write a little tutorial just for you.
You must smelt in priority 3 coppers, then 9 others for a total of 12
After that, smelt 9 tins for be able to craft 3 batteries
And you will need 27 irons you must
SMELT AGAIN for create refined iron, which is
a base of lot of machines and stuff
You remember the rubber you keep in
the chest? Take it, and your copper too, we
will create some cables, you see 6 rubbers and
3 copper for 8 cables, later you will need a
large amount of them, but remember we must
use 34 logs for be able to craft 6 rubbers.
And now we will craft our first electric
circuit, you need 6 cables, 2 redstones, and
one refined iron, like all other things on that
page, it’s a base of the industry, so you must
remember that recipe because you will repeat
it a lot.
And now we must craft the recipe of all
machines: the machine (yes, it’s the name of
that part).
Just bring 8 refined irons, and draw a box with
them in the craft interface.

FINALLY we can craft our first machine, but we
need just 4 mores tree taps, take 20 planks
and craft them, after that take the 4 tree taps,
a machine and an electric circuit and TADA
you can plant your extractor where you want,
but be careful, you can’t dismount any
machine by hand or you must craft again the
entire thing, you will need a special tool made
by a new metal, we will see that later.
Ok, you have your extractor, but how does it work? You must need ELECTRCITY, made by a
GENERATOR, now you know what will be our next build. There is 2 ways to craft a generator:
First, you can use a Battery, a Machine and a
Furnace (8 irons used)
Secondly, you can use a Battery, 3 refined
irons and a iron furnace (10 or 11 iron used)
As you can see the first one is cheaper, and I recommend you to use that recipe, and the 2 generator
are exactly similar. I know you are questioning yourself: how to craft a battery and a iron furnace, for
the iron furnace we will come back later, and for the battery its now!!
2 cables, 3 tins and 1 Redstone, easy no?
Time to remember that recipe.
But wait! You just used your last cables, it’s time to craft others, but this time we will not waste great
quantities of logs. Go back in front of your extractor, and put 6 logs into the upper left hole, and put
some redstones into the bottom hole (pure redstone is like a 1 use low-efficient battery but it work),
then craft other cables with your rubber, and craft 2 battery, not more or you will need to craft
another cable before being able to build a macerator.
Now we can craft the generator to fill up your batteries, put the generator alone, I’ll explain why in
the wiring section, and then pu your 2 empty batteries in the upper slot and put some (char)coal or
other thing who burn in the lower slot, you must need 3,5 coal for fill up a single battery, but it is
more efficient. You can place a chest just near the generator; it will gather all yours filled up
batteries.
The empty batteries can stack up to 16, but the filled up can’t be stacked; it’s the drawback of the
reusability. With a fully charged battery, power the extractor for more rubber and cables, you must
craft 2 mores circuits.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the time
you’re all waiting for: the incredible
MACERATOR who cans double your
productivity. Craft the 2 electric
asked for, another machine and 3 newly stone
pickaxes.
Put your ores in the upper slot, and a battery in the bottom one, and wait for magically appear 2
dusts from one ore, then, put that dust in an electric furnace and you will have 2 ingots for one ore.
What you don’t know how to create an electric furnace? It will be our next and final step of that long
section.
You must know that the macerator can do more things than create dust from ore, it can create dust
from coal too, the coal dust is used in a lot of things, and I rec
coal dust as soon as possible. The macerator can make flint out of gravel, it not seem, but it’s really
useful, it can also make cobble from smooth stone, and, incredible, make SAND out of cobblestone,

You have 1 extractor, 1 generator, 1 macerator and 1 electric furnace, it’s a little, and you think you
can use more things, and your right, craft 1 more generator, 2 macerator and 2 electric furnace, and
all will be faster, font forget the batteries, 2 is not enough.
You can see the inside of my little home, 3 macerators, 3 electrics furnaces, 1 extractor, 1 generator
in view and 2 unknown machines, you can see I’ve put a chest in front of my generator for gather the
charged batteries when I stalk outdoor.
Next time we will need lot of batteries and cables for see the basics of wiring.

And TADAA you have a new metal to play with, you can use the recipe to craft all the tools and armor
you can build with iron, they are little slower, but they are 30% more durable HAYO.
With all that bronze you can keep your iron for build machines, and now, you know how to craft a
wrench (the Y on the right screen, made of 6 bronze ingots).
The use of a wrench is incredibly easy: just right click on the machine you want to remove, be careful,
if the machine wasn’t empty you will lose everything it contained. And sometimes you can make a
mistake, and you can’t retrieve the machine you craft, i
be retrieve safely : MFE transmitter, HV transformer, terraformer and MINERs (we will see them
later).

DO NOT connect more than 1 cable to a machine or generator; it’s a good way to completely
annihilate your system.
But what about the MFE and the HV? They have 4 inputs from the side and 2 outputs from upper and
lower part, DO NOT WIRE THE UPPER AND DOWN PART IN SAME TIME, only the upper part will work.
I said the MFE is used to store but they are here to redirect the EU
You can see a lot of thing on that screen, firstly, a basic generator with coal in it is wired from behind
to a MFE side, it produce EU and send them to the MFE where they are stocked.
Secondly, the MFE send from his up to an electric furnace who is burning something, no battery were
used to transport EU from the generator to the furnace
Third, the white thing count as a cable but creates LIGHT, they are the luminators I’ll not ask you how
to craft them for now, keep in mind it must be wired like cable and not like machine.

You know how to wire a single generator, to a single MFE to a single machine, but hey, you have
several machines and generator, let’s see how to wire them.
Here is a wrong way to wire several generator
to a single MFE (as well a MFE to machines),
because the EU will SPLIT at any intersection,
and the MFE will only receive a third of each
generator
Note that I’m lucky enough to take a
screenshot of a cable between 4 other cables,
but in few times it will disappear, so do not
link any machine or cable with 4 cables linked
to them. There is an exception and it worth
the prize: the switch cable.
You must know that this restriction is here for
prevent major lag causing by the calcul of the
power, I don’t know the detail, but don’t do
that.
Now you can see a proper wiring, generators
linked to 1 cable leading to a MFE, you could
add a 2nd
in his side, and if you put a cable on
top of the MFE. It’s not the more common
way but it work.
This screen feature a proper wiring, 2
generators provide EU to the MFE, who
provide itself EU to the furnaces at the
bottom.
The power will split 2 times from the MFE to
the furnace, but it’s just the limit for powering
machines and it work
The standard 4 machines per MFE is easy to
remember and to wire, and can be aesthetic
Now, let’s enjoy your wiring friend: the switch
cable, who is able to endure up to 6

Like I said you can add a second wiring next to the first one, but do not stick them together, or you
will have big loose of EU.
Note that I changed a little the wire before the MFE, the generators provide for each MFE half of his
fully power, so the MFE will charge for 10EU/s in that case, so you will need to add more generator.

And here we have some flower generators (later you will replace the standard one by something
better), 1 switch cable surrounded by 5 generators, with somes cables leading to another switch
cable for providing power to a MFE (don’t forget to get a redstone torche under the middle switch
cable, remember it needed if you want a upper output, or simply place the MFE and the 2 cables
between under the switch cable).
Have all your machines and generator in the same place is not always a good solution, it take a lot of
place, and it’s not really beautiful, so we will see how to wire more seriously all your system.

Firstly, we will talk about energy lose on distance, like IRL, the more the electricity have to move, the
more is the resistance, and so on for your losing power.
In IC it’s simpler to calculate that depletion, the 9 first cables from an EU output (generator or MFE)
are perfect, no lose, after that, the 10th
cable, you will lose 1 EU/s per 3 blocks away.
For simpler explanations, see the screen below. The pumpkins are here for help you to count the
distance, they are spaced 5 blocks away each, nothing related to the cable itself.
The torches are here for show you what’s cable have energy (in EU/s) below from their precedent
one.
The generator have an output of 5EU/s, it’s the same for the 9 firsts cable, but at the 10th
one the
energy drop to 4EU/s, and 3 blocks after 3EU/s and so on for a complete lose of energy.
With your actual tools and knowledge, you can wire a long way without lose, but it require LOT of
MFE linked together with cables.
But I have a cheaper and better solution: the HV transformer (the recipe is at the beginning of this
section).
The HV have to only purpose to help to wire on long distances (when I say long, its more than 10
blocks), he have 2 outputs: a HIGH voltage output who send SPIKE of 2000 EU, who can melt
anything but cable and other HV, and a low voltage output, who send 50EU/s when received a spike
of EU.

If you wire any machine or MFE to the upper output of the HV (like 1rst screen) you will have a little
hole like the 2nd
screen, you have been warned!! Do not play with electricity… no I joke, we will have
a funny time with.
I showed you what to not do, and now, a right screen:
From left to right: a single MFE representing any EU provider you could build, wire to the SIDE of a
HV, when the HV is charged with 2000 EU, it will launch them by his top to the cable, who can be as
long as you wish, and send that spike to another HV SIDE, then that last HV will emit a 50EU/s power
by his bottom to a MFE who will store them for some purpose (like wiring machines).
Let’s do some math: if you have a cable 99 blocks long, you will lose (99-9)/3=30 energy, if you try to
wire that with a MFE who output a 32EU/s, who will have only 2EU/s at the other end, but if you use
a HV who spike 2000 EU, who will lose only 30/2000*100=1.5% from each package. I’ll let you
compare the 2 method.

You know all the basis, place to some pro-tip:
The 2 MFE to the left represent a generator area for each, if the MFE are output for 32EU/s each,
after the switch cable the HV get a 64EU/s INPUT and will launch twice much spike than the previous
screen.
At the other part, you can see I divided in two the wire, each part leading to a HV who provide EU to
his part of the circuit.
The two things combined allow you to have a big generator area (or several) and be able to transport
all that energy to a product area with lot of machines.
Here is my example of an industrial implement for transform lot of ores into ingots, 16 macerator on
right and 16 electric furnaces on the left (you see the back) , I Hope it will help you.

A little wiring tutorial for efficiently wire 16 (yes SIXTEEN) machines to only one MFE
It’s easy, compact and requires very few cables (35 only)
First you need to place 8 cables like that; it will be your plan
Second place bridges on the 2nd
layer like the second screen.
Third: another bridges one
layer upper
Fourth: place 3 mores
cables between the middle
of the 2 previous bridges
and place a MFE in the
middle (you can place a
cable for upper the MFE if
it’s more convenient for
you)
Five: place the machines, 2
per arm one under the
other
That wiring setup is clearly compact and has
the advantage of losing no EU in transfer to
the machines.
All machines will received the exact same
amount of EU/s, if the MFE is setup for a
32EU/s (the standard setup) all machines will
receive exactly 2EU/s, and if you want a 3EU/s
input, you can setup the MFE for a 48EU/s
setup (we will see how to do that in the
generator section)
Beware to provide to the MFE enough energy
input, because I f you use all your machines in
same times it will be depleted in no times.

Hey why have you stopped? No power? OK,
come back to your base, take one electric

charger.
Just equip it into your empty hand, right click in the air and place your empty chainsaw at the upper

You’re off with the tree and you need more ores, but that old pickaxe seems ugly to you? Grab the
same ingredients than the chainsaw and craft the incredible MINING DRILL.

You must now have a good base, with several machines and some ores in yours chest.
But aren’t you tired of your old-but efficient generators fire-powered?
Ok, let’s build some more greenies things for begin.
The WATERMILL
Grab some wood, craft 4 sticks and 4 planks,
get a generator in the middle, and voila, you
have a little watermill generator cheap to
produce isn’t it?
There is 2 uses for produce electricity with the watermill, first, wire it like a generator, get 15 water
bucket on you (or take 2-3 buckets and have a good water source near you) and fill the watermill
without interruption. Yes it’s a lot of work. You need 15 water buckets to fill up one battery.
The second use is to surround entirely the generator with water. You must know that watermill need
to be next to water, and it SEEMS to be better the more water it touch the generator (just next to it
or diagonally.
Firstly, we need to prepare the terrain, here is the layout for 1 watermill, dig a 3x3 hole, then place a
temporary block in the middle and place the watermill and a cable on top (you can’t place them in
water). After that, remove the bottom block, build the wall and enrage against Notch about bad
water mechanism when you try to fill up with water all the remaining place.

Here is a screen of what you must have,
remember that pattern, you will need to use it
with another type of generator.
The output is very very low, and I think you
want a little more, so next screen a 4x4
generator.
.
And I think you will have lot of fun for wire the whole =)
2 methods, the all MFE, you will need 15 MFE to wire, 1 for each couple of generator, then one other
for each couple of MFE and so on to the top one who collect the whole. Easy but expensive.
The other method only require 3 MFE, 12 switches cables, 12 redstones torches (one per switch
cable) and some cables but is more complicated to understand. Follow the instruction and all will be
lightened.
First we need to get out of water, so raise 2 cables more at the top of existents ones, then place any
solid block in middle of 4 just out of the water. Place 2 switches cables one in front of the other and
place redstone torches under each one. Place another redstone torch on the block and place a switch
cable at top of the torch connected to the other switches cables. Then connect to a MFE because of
the cable long.
After that you just need to do the same thing with all others generators and connect the wire to a
MFE at top.
After playing with water, why don’t we play
with air?
You need 1 generator, 4 cables and 4 irons.
Windmill can’t be placed anywhere, you must
need some place around it, in a 5x5x7 area for

glasses.
And the more higher the generator is placed, the more he
produces day and night without any man help.
Of course, you can place some cable just under the generator for

Watermills don’t produce lot of energy, but it
will produce FOR EVER and without more
work than place them into water and wire
them.
I’ve done some test, and that 4x4 pattern give
you 10000 EU in 90 sec, with my framerate, it
can change for you.
Have some watermill can help you, they
produce energy for all time, day or night.
And if you know what to do, you can wire
them by under and have a beautiful lake near

From now, we will go into real efficient generators world.
One of them is the geothermal generator,
basically it’s a generator powered by lava. It’s
entirely similar to a standard generator, even
in power output, but it is powered by lava
bucket, and contrary of the watermill, it
doesn’t generate power when surrounded by
lava.
You need 1 generator + 1 electric circuit + 4
glasses + 3 refined iron, you just put lava
bucket in the bottom hole and wire it like a
standard generator, I think you have
understood.
I said it’s an efficient generator because it can
power A LOT, and in conjunction with a MINER
you can have infinite lava, but you need to
place bucket yourself, its a little work, but you

And now, the most used generator, the power of the future coming to you: the SOLAR GENERATOR.
The recipe is expensive, not because of the
cost itself, but by the amount you will have to
make.
You need 1 generator, 3 glasses, 3 coal dust
and 2 electric circuits.
The only 2 things you must know is to don’t place ANYTHING above a solar generator (glasses are
reinforced glasses are the exception) and it only work in daytime, it’s a SOLAR generator you know.
It produce little power, 1 EU/s per generator, but it produce without any help. And it’s easy to place
correctly; you just need a sky view.
Here is the more usefull
pattern you could construc

called a SOLAR FLOWER
Place one switch cable on
top of few cables, and place
solar generator on the 5
other faces of the switch
cable. Hurray, you’ve got a

But its only a begin, we will build a bigger solar flower.
The begin is just like the little solar flower : 1 sitch cable on top of 2 cables, then place some other
cables and a switch cable on top, and for end place solar generator on all switch cable (even the
middle one top).
It’s a easy 21EU/s output, don’t forget to place a mfe at the bottom cable.
