How to build

  1. EBF with cupronickel coils (1800 K) is enough for steel (1000 K). — gtceu:electric_blast_furnace, gtceu:cupronickel_coil_block
  2. 1 wrought iron + 200 mB oxygen → 1 steel in 15 s at 120 EU/t. No charcoal at all. — gtceu:wrought_iron_ingot, gtceu:oxygen_bucket

Tips

  • 120 EU/t (MV). Iron instead of wrought iron: 25 s. With HV power it overclocks to 7.5 s.
  • Only worth it once oxygen is free (the CO₂ greenhouse makes 1 B per cycle); until then the Solid Blast Furnace is cheaper.
  • Needs oxygen from the HV air line (oxygen chain, HV era); plan it before this step.
