Description

The Heat Conductor is a crafting item in Industrial Craft 2 — a copper bar insulated with rubber. One Heat Conductor is assembled on a crafting table from 3 Copper placed in the middle column and 6 Rubber filling both side columns: a copper core in a rubber shell. The Heat Conductor is an ingredient for machines rather than a placeable block, and a single craft yields exactly one item.

Every Heat Generator and Heat Consumer in Industrial Craft 2 is built with a Heat Conductor. The Experimental recipe set puts the item into ten different machines, including the Solid Heat Generator, Fluid Heat Generator, Electric Heat Generator, Radioisotope Heat Generator, Steam Generator, Stirling Kinetic Generator, Thermal Centrifuge, Liquid Heat Exchanger, and Blast Furnace. Each of the ten recipes consumes exactly one Heat Conductor, so building the complete line of heat machines means ten separate crafts.

Guide

How to craft a Heat Conductor in Industrial Craft 2

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients

    Collect 3 Copper and 6 Rubber — exactly this set becomes one Heat Conductor.

  2. 2

    Open a crafting table

    Stand at a crafting table and open the 3x3 grid; the Heat Conductor recipe has a fixed shape.

  3. 3

    Place the copper core

    Put 1 Copper in each cell of the middle column — top, center, and bottom.

  4. 4

    Wrap the core in rubber

    Fill all six cells of the left and right columns with 1 Rubber each.

  5. 5

    Collect the result

    Take the finished Heat Conductor from the output slot; one craft produces exactly one item.

One machine, one conductor

Each of the ten machine recipes consumes exactly one Heat Conductor, so prepare a full set of materials — 3 Copper and 6 Rubber — for every machine on the build list.
