Electrum Gear
Electrum Gear tops the Ala Industrial gear line: a crafting component pressed from four electrum ingots (a gold-plus-silver alloy) around one wooden gear.
Description
Exactly two recipes consume Electrum Gear, and both sit late in the tech tree. The Netherite Drill Head is assembled from three netherite scrap and two netherite alloy ingots around one Electrum Gear, then fitted at a smithing table to complete the Electric Drill's final tier. The Reinforced Bearing stacks two basic bearings between two reinforced bronze plates around one Electrum Gear — a rotating joint that gave the gear its second consumer. Lower on the ladder, the iron gear still carries the Portable Fluid Tank, the Item Pipe and the Wrench, while the wooden gear remains the blank every metal gear is pressed on. Craft Electrum Gear to order rather than in bulk: each consumer asks for exactly one gear, and the four-gold-plus-four-silver bill adds up fast.

How to craft and use Electrum Gear
-
1
Smelt the electrum
Load the Alloy Smelter with one gold ingot and one silver ingot per run and repeat until four electrum ingots are ready.
-
2
Craft the wooden blank
Place four sticks in a cross around one wooden button on a crafting table to make the wooden gear every metal gear starts from.
-
3
Press the gear
Arrange four electrum ingots in a cross with the wooden gear in the centre; the crafting table returns one Electrum Gear.
-
4
Spend the gear
Combine the finished gear with three netherite scrap and two netherite alloy ingots for a Netherite Drill Head, or with two reinforced bronze plates and two basic bearings for a Reinforced Bearing.
The recipe stays hidden in the recipe book until a wooden gear and an electrum ingot share one inventory, and each consumer takes a single gear — decide between the drill head and the bearing before melting four gold and four silver ingots.

Frequently asked questions
What is Electrum Gear used for?
Electrum Gear feeds exactly two recipes in Ala Industrial: the Netherite Drill Head for the Electric Drill's final tier and the Reinforced Bearing, a rotating joint for machinery.
How much does one Electrum Gear cost?
One craft takes four electrum ingots plus one wooden gear. Each ingot melts from one gold ingot and one silver ingot, so a full gear bills eight metal ingots in total.
Is Electrum Gear a block?
No. Electrum Gear is an item: it never places in the world, has no hardness value, and stacks to 64 like any plain ingredient.
Can one gear be upgraded into another?
No. Every gear in Ala Industrial is pressed straight from a wooden gear blank and its tier material; the mod deliberately skips gear-to-gear upgrade chains.
Does Electrum Gear consume EU?
No. Electrum Gear is a passive component with no EU buffer; the Electric Drill it helps assemble is the part that draws power.
