An induction smelter, or smelter for short, is a machine that smelts items together at high temperatures. Despite the name, the machine cannot be used for smelting.
A placed induction smelter can be instantly picked up by dismantling it with a wrench. Its configuration is preserved in the item. It can also be mined using a pickaxe, though this can be much slower.

An induction smelter is initially at the lowest tier (basic). It can be upgraded to higher tiers using upgrade kits and conversion kits.
When placed, an induction smelter faces the player. It can face any of the four cardinal directions, and can be rotated using a wrench.
An induction smelter has two input slots. When combinations of items are placed in these slots, the machine will start consuming Redstone Flux to process them. Every item combination requires a certain amount of energy to process. When enough energy has been consumed for an item combination, the input is consumed and the output is placed in the primary output slot. A secondary output may be produced when processing certain items, which is placed in the secondary output slot.
When installed, a pyro-concentrator allows an induction smelter to consume blazing pyrotheum, which is stored in an added input tank.
The speed at which an induction smelter processes items depends on how much energy it can use per tick. This in turn depends on how much power is being supplied, and on the machine’s maximum power usage. A basic smelter has a maximum power usage of 20 RF/t. This can be increased by upgrading the machine to a higher tier, and by installing certain augments.
Items and fluids can enter and exit an induction smelter through its sides. Every side of a smelter may correspond to one of its input slots, one of its output slots, or certain slots at the same time. Fluids can enter a smelter through any side.
An induction smelter can automatically transfer items out of any sides that directly correspond to one of its output slots. This is called auto-output. It can also transfer items from adjacent inventories into any sides that directly correspond to one of its input slots. This is called auto-input. Auto-output and auto-input occur whenever the machine finishes processing an item, or every 32 ticks (1.6 seconds) if the machine is inactive.
A basic induction smelter can automatically transfer up to 16 items at a time. This amount can be increased by upgrading the machine to a higher tier.
Which sides correspond to which slots/tanks and whether auto-output and auto-input are enabled can be configured using the Configuration tab in the machine’s GUI.
One of an induction smelter’s input slots can be locked to only accept metallurgical fluxes: sand, soul sand, rich slag and cinnabar. These items are commonly used in smelter recipes. The slot is locked by default.
An induction smelter may be configured to respond to redstone signals. It can be in one of three modes:
The current mode can be set using the Redstone Control tab in the machine’s GUI.
An induction smelter can have a signalum security lock installed to restrict who can access it.
An induction smelter’s configuration can be saved on a redprint to be copied to other induction smelters.
When an induction smelter is active, it emits a light level of 14.
Induction smelters come in five tiers.
Tier | Max. power usage | Augment slots | Max. items per auto-transfer |
---|---|---|---|
Basic | 20 RF/t | 0 | 16 |
Hardened | 30 RF/t | 1 | 16 |
Reinforced | 40 RF/t | 2 | 28 |
Signalum | 50 RF/t | 3 | 44 |
Resonant | 60 RF/t | 4 | 64 |
An induction smelter can have augments installed to improve certain properties or to change how it works. The amount of augments that can be installed depends on the machine’s tier. A basic smelter cannot be augmented.
Augments can be installed in the Augmentation tab in a smelter’s GUI.
Augment | Installable in | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Auxiliary Reception Coil | Any machine | Increases a machine's maximum power usage (speed). However, also increases the amount of energy required per operation. Can be installed multiple times. |
![]() |
Auxiliary Sieve |
Machines with secondary products |
Increases the chances of a machine producing a secondary product. However, also increases the amount of energy required per operation. Can be installed multiple times. |
![]() |
Nullification Chamber |
Machines with secondary products |
Destroys excess secondary products when a machine's secondary output slot/tank is full, allowing it to keep working. |
![]() |
Metallurgical Recovery | Induction Smelter | Provides a chance for an induction smelter to not consume metallurgical fluxes (such as sand and rich slag). However, also increases the amount of energy required per operation. Can be installed multiple times. |
![]() |
Pyro-Concentrator | Induction Smelter | A specialization that allows for an induction smelter to process ores more efficiently using blazing pyrotheum. 100 mB of pyrotheum is consumed per ore. |
