Powering a Slag Furnace

[Buffalo_Wings_Master]

So I hear there is a way to power a slag furnace with electricity/power of some sort, rather than coal. Anyone know how?

You need to use a furnace heater for that unless it is changed. Place it next to the slag furnace en give it power from factorization.

You will need a way to get Charge (FZ's power), and that way is by using the solar (?) boiler and running the steam through the steam turbine (iirc).
A lot of silver needed. Or a 1 LP steam boiler from RailCraft should work to produce the steam?

Tend to go with TiCo from the start now, then TE.

I am playing the Direwolf20 pack, can you tell me the exact name of the blocks I would need (I can look up how they work, but hard to find exactly the right blocks)?

If you are curious about the blocks in a mod type this into the NEI search bar

@factorization

this works with any mod (make sure you get the name right, but that shouldn't be too hard)

It is quite clever and substrings work to so @zation will work for factorization and @factor will work for factorization and minefactory reloaded

Use this for any mod in your pack

In the case of factorization you can use the slag furnace to get a small bonus on your ores. You can power it directly using any furnace fuel like charcoal or you can power it indirectly with a furnace heater.

The furnace heater needs factorization charge to work. To get that you using just factorization you need two things and then an optional third thing. The things that you must have are a water boiler (place it above an infinite water source and get steam), and a steam turbine which turns steam into charge. On the NEI tooltip you will notice that the water boiler needs heat. This can be provided in two ways. You can use mirrors like solar panels. If they have an unobstructed line of sight to the sky and are in range and can see a water boiler they will visibly orient themselves at the water boiler and provide it with heat. Then you will get steam.

Alternatively you can use a caliometric burner adjacent to the water boiler. This creates heat by burning food.

The other items in the Factorization ore processing chain are in order, lacerators, mixers, slag furnaces, crystallizers.

If you don't want to use the water boiler to make steam you can use steam from an outside source like railcraft to supply the steam turbine.

Thank you very much for you help, all is good and my system is running!
