Bronze Plated Blast Furnace

The Bronze Plated Blast Furnace is part of a hollow GregTech multiblock structure with dimensions 3x3x4. This multiblock is used to manufacture steel, and is the first steel-producing machine a player will be able to make, when using GregTech.

It functions very similarly to the Railcraft Blast Furnace but is built slightly differently.

Recipes
In these recipes Iron Ingot can be substituted with Iron Dust, Coal can be replaced with Charcoal, and Block of Coal can be replaced with Block of Charcoal.

Building the Multiblock
You will need a fair amount of resources to build the Bronze Blast Furnace. Be sure to have the materials required beforehand. In total you will need 32 Bronze Plated Bricks and 1 Bronze Plated Blast Furnace (2 stacks of clay balls, 32 cobblestone, 6 stacks + 8 bronze ingots). You will also need some hammers and wrenches.

The base consists of 9 Bronze Plated Bricks.



The second layer from the bottom is made from 7 Bronze Plated Bricks and 1 Bronze Plated Blast Furnace. The Bronze Plated Blast Furnace must not be in a corner. Notice that this layer is hollow.



The third and fourth layers from the bottom are made from 8 Bronze Plated Bricks. These layers are hollow too.



Here is the completed multiblock structure.





An easy way to know if you built the structure correctly is to place 1 iron ingot in the top slot and 4 Coal/Charcoal in the bottom slot of the Bronze Plated Blast Furnace. The Bronze Plated Blast Furnace should light up and a lava source block should appear in the middle of the multiblock structure if you built the multiblock correctly.

Note that if you have particles disabled the smoke won't be visible.
