Immersive Engineering

Immersive Engineering (I.E) is a realism-inspired tech-mod with many fun and useful multiblocks. To get started, craft an Engineer's Hammer, which will be used throughout the mod for crafting recipes and activating multiblocks. The Engineer's Manual will be your best friend when showing you how to set up these multiblock machines.

Asks for: Engineer's Hammer

The Coke Oven is another early-game multiblock that converts regular coal into Coke Coal and Creosote Oil. Coke Coal is a more efficient fuel, while Creosote Oil will be used in many crafting recipes. To build this multiblock, make a 3x3x3 cube using Coke Bricks, then right-click the middle block with the Engineer's Hammer to activate it.

Asks for: Copper Wire, Iron Plate

The Alloy Kiln is an early-game multiblock used to make alloys like: constantan, invar, electrum, and bronze. To build this, build a 2x2x2 cube out of Kiln Bricks, then right-click on a face with the Engineer's Hammer.

Asks for: Kiln Brick

The Blast Furnace is one of the most important early-game multiblocks, as it is used to convert iron into Steel. This multiblock is a 3x3x3 cube made of Blast Bricks. Just like the other multiblocks, you can activate it by using your Engineer's Hammer on the center face. While it can also be powered by regular coal and charcoal, it's not as efficient as using Coke Coal.

Using a Plate Mold you can form Duroplast Sheet, a type of plastic used in many electronic and crafting components.

Asks for: Duroplast Sheet

I.E power is split into three categories: Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV), and High Voltage (HV). Each category of Voltage transfers a different amount of power and, as such, requires different methods of transportation. In general, every power network needs three things: an input, an output, and a storage buffer (all machines have a built-in buffer). Power can be sent to and from a network via a connector using a Wire Coil of the matching Voltage. You can extend the wires by connecting them to a Wire Relay. WARNING: Exposed wires will shock entities that come into contact with them. LV and MV wires can be insulated to prevent damage, but HV Wires cannot.

Asks for: LV Wire Connector, LV Wire Relay, LV Wire Coil

The Thermoelectric Generator uses the temperature differential between the blocks on either side of it to generate LV power. This means that you need to place one cold block/fluid and one hot block/fluid on opposite sides of the block to generate power. You can check the Engineer's Manual or JEI for a list of compatible blocks.

Asks for: Thermoelectric Generator

Using Creosote Oil, you can combine it with planks to create Treated Wood. Treated Wood is used to craft various I.E workstations, such as the Engineer's Workbench.

The Engineer's Workbench is the main crafting table for all of your engineering needs! To make items using the Engineer's Workbench, you will need different types of Blueprints to craft different types of items. When you place a Blueprint on the top-left slot, it will show what recipes are available to craft on the right side of the workbench. You can then place in the items for the recipe, then pull the crafted item out.

Asks for: Engineer's Workbench

Tired of having to manually craft all your components? Then the Automated Engineer's Workbench is the right tool for you! This multiblock has the same functionality as its non-automated version, but will automatically accept items and output the appropriate product based on the blueprint inside of the machine. This is considered Heavy Machinery, so make sure to check out the Engineer's Manual to learn how to build the multiblock!
