Advanced Genetic Machine
Advanced Machine is the reinforced Industrial Craft 2 casing required to assemble the mod's most powerful devices, including the Mass Fabricator, Induction Furnace, and MFSU.
1.19.2
1.12.2
Description
Advanced Machine is the upgraded structural casing in Industrial Craft 2, built to house machines too complex for the Basic Machine Casing. Players craft one Advanced Machine on a standard crafting grid by surrounding a Basic Machine Casing with four Steel ingots in the corners, two Carbon Plates on opposing edges, and two Advanced Alloy ingots on the remaining edges. The reinforced casing belongs to the Industrial Craft 2 technology tree and appears in mod packs running Minecraft 1.12.2 or 1.19.2. Advanced Machine carries no function on its own — the block exists exclusively as a crafting ingredient for the next tier of IC2 equipment.
Advanced Machine is the mandatory core of Industrial Craft 2's most demanding recipes. The Mass Fabricator, Induction Furnace, Thermal Centrifuge, and MFSU energy storage unit each consume one Advanced Machine during assembly, as do the Advanced Miner, Pattern Storage, Scanner, and Terraformer. Late-game power infrastructure leans on Advanced Machine because Nuclear Reactor coolant injectors — both RSH and LZH variants — and the Teleporter all require the reinforced casing. Players building toward UU-Matter production or automated ore processing should stockpile Steel, Carbon Plate, and Advanced Alloy in advance, since every high-tier IC2 device routes through Advanced Machine as its structural foundation.

Industrial Craft 2 Guide
How to craft Advanced Machine in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Gather the ingredients
Collect four Steel ingots, two Carbon Plates, two Advanced Alloy ingots, and one Basic Machine Casing from earlier Industrial Craft 2 processing.
-
2
Open a crafting table
Use a full 3×3 crafting grid — Advanced Machine requires all nine slots and cannot be made in the 2×2 inventory window.
-
3
Place the Basic Machine Casing in the center
Put one Basic Machine Casing in the exact center slot of the crafting grid to anchor the recipe.
-
4
Arrange Steel in the corners
Place one Steel ingot in each of the four corner slots surrounding the Basic Machine Casing.
-
5
Fill the edges and collect the result
Put Carbon Plates on two opposing edge slots and Advanced Alloy on the remaining two edges, then collect the Advanced Machine from the result slot.
Two valid patterns
Industrial Craft 2 accepts two edge arrangements — Carbon Plates on top and bottom or on left and right — so both recipes produce the same Advanced Machine block.

Frequently asked questions
Can you craft Advanced Machine in Industrial Craft 2?
Yes. Place one Basic Machine Casing in the center of a 3×3 grid, surround it with four Steel ingots in the corners, fill two opposing edges with Carbon Plates and the remaining two with Advanced Alloy.
What is Advanced Machine used for in IC2?
Advanced Machine is the structural casing required to craft high-tier devices like the Mass Fabricator, Induction Furnace, Thermal Centrifuge, MFSU, Advanced Miner, Scanner, and Teleporter.
Is Advanced Machine a functional block?
No. Advanced Machine has no active function on its own — the reinforced casing serves exclusively as a crafting ingredient for advanced Industrial Craft 2 machines.
Which Minecraft versions support Advanced Machine?
Industrial Craft 2 includes Advanced Machine in builds for Minecraft 1.12.2 and 1.19.2, the two major IC2 release lines.
How is Advanced Machine different from Basic Machine Casing?
Basic Machine Casing builds entry-level IC2 machines like the Macerator and Compressor, while Advanced Machine is the reinforced tier reserved for the mod's most powerful devices.
