Large Crucible

The Large Smelting Crucible is a multiblock machine added by GregTech 6. Usage is the same as the single block Smelting Crucble. It requires heat, or HU, from one or several Burning Box, Electric Heater, or Heat Exchanger to operate.

Construction
"3x3x3 Hollow of Walls with opening on Top." "Main at Bottom-Center."

Usage
A Large Crucible operates nearly identically to the normal Smelting Crucible; except that it has 27 times the capacity (432 units), and only a 10% bonus to material melting point. It does mass as 100 units, rather than 7.

A Large Crucible accepts HU to heat up, CU to be force-cooled, and KU to make Air for Steel alloying all from the bottom layer only (both the core block and the eight walls), bottom or side faces. All 17 possible inputs will add together to heat or cool the crucible and its contents.

Molds, Crucible Crossings, and Crucible Faucets only work on the middle band of eight walls.

Hoppers, item pipes, and fluid pipes provide material input only to the top ring, at any side or top face of those eight walls. Crucible Faucets above can pour a unit at a time into any of the nine top faces of the Large Crucible. Items can still be tossed / dropped / dispensed into the empty interior, as an empty buffer slot will suck in floating items at range 2.
