IV — 8192 EU/t · Automation Age III¶
Era id: iv · Tier: iv
Goal: Tungstensteel, the platinum line, RTM and HSS-G coils, ABS and parallel multis.
Exit items: gtceu:assembly_line, gtceu:luv_machine_hull
Steps¶
- Tungsten — Tungstate or scheelite + HCl in an EV Chemical Bath → tungstic acid → EV Electrolyzer → tungsten dust → EBF 3600 K (Nichrome coils) + Vacuum Freezer. (
gtceu:tungstate_dust,gtceu:tungstic_acid_dust,gtceu:tungsten_dust) - Tungstensteel — 1 tungsten dust + 1 steel dust → EV Mixer → EBF 3000 K (Nichrome coils, EV hatch) → Vacuum Freezer. The IV material. (
gtceu:tungsten_steel_ingot,gtceu:iv_machine_hull) - Platline — Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Ir, Os. Ruthenium → RTM coils. (
gtceu:purified_cooperite_ore,gtceu:platinum_dust,gtceu:palladium_dust,gtceu:ruthenium_dust) - Coils — RTM (4th tier, 4500 K, needs ruthenium) then HSS-G (5th, 5400 K). RTM coils unlock iridium, vanadium gallium and shellite. (
gtceu:rtm_alloy_coil_block,gtceu:hssg_coil_block) - ABS — Mixes + smelts in one step, 75 % of EBF time, molten output → freezer. (
gtceu:alloy_blast_smelter) - IV line — Shellite = black bronze + 3 signalum. (
gtceu:shellite_ingot,gtceu:iv_4a_energy_converter) - Parallels — Large multis accept parallel hatches. The IV Parallel Hatch (4 LuV circuits) and the IV Circuit Assembler (2 LuV circuits) already need LuV circuits. (
gtceu:iv_parallel_hatch,gtceu:large_chemical_bath) - Nuclear — Optional: big power and isotope chains. (
gtceu:nuclear_reactor,kubejs:thr_fuel_rod) - Advanced SMDs — HSS-E/HSS-S + graphene. (

Setups¶
- Tungsten and tungsten steel: chemical bath → electrolyzer → EBF 3600 K (nichrome coils) → Vacuum Freezer
- Platinum group line: sludge → aqua regia centrifuge → platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, osmium
- Nether star loop: shards → energized shards → infused shards → impure star → implosion
- Elemental powders: blizz, blitz, basalz from dust + gas, then molten powder for the nether star loop
- IV components: tungsten steel parts, motor, piston, pump, conveyor, robot arm, emitter, sensor and hull on LV assemblers
- IV circuit: Microprocessor Mainframe (microprocessor → assembly → supercomputer → mainframe, silicon wafers only)
- RTM coil: ruthenium + tungsten + molybdenum → RTM alloy → double wire + vanadium steel foil + borosilicate foil + molten nichrome
- IV Energy and Dynamo Hatch: phosphorus wafer → MPIC wafer → HPIC wafer → 2 HPIC chips, IV voltage coil, IV Assembler
- Alloy Blast Smelter (alloy dust → molten metal in one step) and the Super EBF
- Shellite: signalum + black bronze → EV Mixer → EBF 4400 K (RTM coils, IV hatch) → wire → IV converters
Power¶
Storage¶
- Mega cells: Bulk storage for ores and dusts. (
megacells:mega_item_cell_housing,megacells:cell_component_1m) - Extended AE: Bigger providers and the Assembler Matrix for crafting-grid recipes. (
