Description

Advanced Circuit is the higher-tier crafting component in IndustrialCraft 2 Experimental, used to build mid- and end-game IC2 machinery. Advanced Circuit is crafted from one Electronic Circuit, four Redstone Dust, two Glowstone Dust, and two Lapis Lazuli in a shaped pattern, replacing the basic Electronic Circuit wherever stronger electronics are required. Advanced Circuit is a key ingredient in the MFSU (40,000,000 EU), the Mass Fabricator, the Nuclear Reactor, the Teleporter, and the Lapotron Crystal. The Electric Jetpack and the Quantum Helmet also require Advanced Circuit. Advanced Circuit is an item, not a placeable block, and stacks to 64 in the inventory. Because Advanced Circuit gates progression into HV (512 EU/t) machinery and the Quantum Helmet, players usually set up a small glowstone farm in the Nether or trade with Cleric villagers for glowstone dust and lapis lazuli before tackling MFSU-level builds.

Guide

How to craft Advanced Circuit in IndustrialCraft 2

  1. 1

    Prepare an Electronic Circuit

    Craft one Electronic Circuit from 6 Copper Cables and 2 Redstone around 1 Iron Plate, the standard IC2 Exp recipe.

  2. 2

    Gather 2 Glowstone Dust

    Mine Glowstone blocks in the Nether or trade emeralds with a Cleric villager; each block drops 2-4 dust.

  3. 3

    Add 4 Redstone Dust and 2 Lapis Lazuli

    Mine redstone ore with an iron or higher pickaxe; one ore drops 4-5 dust. Get lapis lazuli from lapis ore or Cleric villager trades.

  4. 4

    Use the IC2 shaped recipe

    Place redstone in the four corners, lapis lazuli left and right of the Electronic Circuit, glowstone dust top and bottom centre; the mirrored layout works too.

  5. 5

    Store in a chest

    Advanced Circuit stacks to 64 and is consumed in many late-game IC2 recipes, so keep at least one stack on hand.

Tip

Use a Macerator on Glowstone blocks to double dust output; one block becomes 4 dust instead of 2-4.
