Energized Smelter

The Energized Smelter is a machine added by Mekanism, which is an electric furnace, the final step in the Mekanism ore processing system. It is also used as a component in crafting the Basic Smelting Factory.

The Energized Smelter requires energy to operate, which can be supplied directly by using portable power devices like the Basic Energy Cube or placing a generator or energy storage device next to it, or indirectly via cables. In addition to the machines from Mekanism, the generators, energy storages and cables of all supported power systems (IndustrialCraft 2, Thermal Dynamics, BuildCraft and Tesla) can be used to supply energy to it.

GUI
Right-clicking on the machine opens its GUI (shown in the picture).

The red slot is the input slot for the material to be smelted, and the product appears in the blue slot.

The green slot and the vertical meter on the right side accepts charged portable power sources (such as a Basic Energy Cube) and displays the current energy in the machine respectively. Portable sources are only needed if there is no energy being supplied.

The upper-left button (called "Side Config") opens the configuration of the Energized Smelter, where the player can set which side should receive energy as well as receive or emits items. Also If a side is disabled, no cable connects on this side. If the player holds the Configurator in their hand, the cube displays a color code on the side the player is looking at. Grey means "Off", green means "Input energy", red means "Input item" and blue means "Output item". Shift right-clicking on a side with the Configurator changes the configuration of each side.

The middle-left button (called "Transporter Config") opens a GUI which allows the player to define specific rules for routing items if mechanical pipes are connected.

The lower-left button changes the displayed energy system between Energy Units, Redstone Flux, Minecraft Joules, and Tesla. The change only affects the display; the energy is still available in all forms inside the system.

The upper-right button opens the upgrade GUI. Upgrades can be added here, such as the Energy Upgrade to improve energy efficiency.

The middle-right button opens the GUI to configure the access rights for the machine.

The lower-right button changes the machines behavior to Redstone. For example if it is set to "High", the Energized Smelter operates only when it receives a Redstone signal.
