Description

Copper Boiler is an Industrial Craft 2 crafting component — a shaped part made for machine recipes, not a block placed in the world. The IC2 wiki lists Copper Boiler under the Heat category and names two destinations: Steam Generator and Kinetic Steam Generator. Crafting one Copper Boiler takes exactly eight Copper Item Casing pieces around the edge of a 3×3 grid with the center slot left empty, and one full ring produces one Copper Boiler. Copper Item Casing itself is a metal-shaping product made with the Forge Hammer.

Steam Generator and Kinetic Steam Generator are the two machines that consume Copper Boiler in Industrial Craft 2. The Steam Generator recipe spends one Copper Boiler alongside seven Iron and one Heat Conductor. The Kinetic Steam Generator recipe combines one Copper Boiler with Steel, two Iron Shaft pieces, and one Fluid Cell. The IC2 wiki records no other use for Copper Boiler, so eight casings per planned generator cover the full demand.

Guide

How to Craft a Copper Boiler in Industrial Craft 2

  1. 1

    Collect eight casings

    Gather eight Copper Item Casing pieces — the shaped copper part that the Forge Hammer produces in Industrial Craft 2 metal shaping.

  2. 2

    Open a crafting table

    Stand at a crafting table with the full 3×3 grid; the ring-shaped Copper Boiler recipe needs all three rows and columns.

  3. 3

    Fill the outer ring

    Place one Copper Item Casing in each of the eight outer slots and leave the single center slot empty.

  4. 4

    Collect the result

    Take one Copper Boiler from the output slot; every complete ring of eight casings yields exactly one Copper Boiler.

  5. 5

    Repeat per machine

    Craft one Copper Boiler for each planned Steam Generator or Kinetic Steam Generator, because both generator recipes consume exactly one.

Casings serve other recipes

Copper Item Casing also builds the Advanced Batpack, so keep a few spare casings instead of turning every casing into Copper Boiler rings.

Frequently asked questions

Is Copper Boiler a placeable block?

Copper Boiler is a crafting item, not a placeable block. Both machines consume Copper Boiler inside recipes only.

How many Copper Item Casings does one Copper Boiler need?

Exactly eight: place the Copper Item Casing pieces in a ring around the edge of the 3×3 grid and keep the center empty.

Can the Copper Boiler recipe fit in the 2×2 inventory grid?

No. The ring of eight casings spans three rows and three columns, so the recipe requires a full crafting table.

How many generators does one Copper Boiler cover?

Exactly one. The Steam Generator recipe and the Kinetic Steam Generator recipe each consume a single Copper Boiler per machine.

Do copper casings have uses besides Copper Boiler?

Yes — the IC2 wiki lists the Advanced Batpack as another recipe crafted from copper item casings.
