Description

The Magnetizer is an Industrial Craft 2 machine that turns Iron Fences stacked into a column into a high-speed vertical lift — a powered alternative to a normal ladder. The crafting recipe places six Redstone Dust in the side columns of a crafting table and two Iron around one Machine Block in the center column. A powered Magnetizer idles without consuming any EU, and the machine draws 2 EU per tick (1/20 of a second of game time) only when a player wearing metal boots — iron, gold, bronze, nano or quantum — stands next to a magnetized Iron Fence and is propelled upwards at great speed. A single Magnetizer magnetizes up to 20 Iron Fences above the machine and 20 fences below at the same time.

Iron Fences must be attached to the side of the Magnetizer, and a Magnetizer placed next to a fence turns toward the fence automatically; a Wrench changes the facing afterwards. Sneaking next to the fence carries a player downwards, and staying as close to the Iron Fence as possible avoids fall damage on the descent. The internal buffer stores 100 EU plus 15 EU per connected fence, and power above 32 EU per tick makes the Magnetizer explode. Magnetizers stack to 64, so a single inventory slot carries machines for several mine shafts and towers.

Industrial Craft 2 Guide

How to craft and use the Magnetizer in Industrial Craft 2

  1. 1

    Craft the Magnetizer

    Fill the left and right columns of a crafting table with six Redstone Dust, then set two Iron above and below one Machine Block in the center column.

  2. 2

    Attach an Iron Fence column

    Place the Magnetizer beside a column of Iron Fences: fences connect to the machine's side, and the block turns toward an adjacent fence automatically.

  3. 3

    Connect EU power

    Wire the Magnetizer to a generator or energy network and keep the feed at 32 EU per tick or less, because higher input explodes the machine.

  4. 4

    Ride upward in metal boots

    Put on iron, gold, bronze, nano or quantum boots and stand next to the magnetized Iron Fence; the lift then draws 2 EU per tick and launches the player upward.

  5. 5

    Descend by sneaking

    Sneak next to the fence to slide down, hugging the Iron Fence as closely as possible so the descent ends without fall damage.

Idle power use

A powered Magnetizer consumes no EU while nobody rides, and the internal buffer holds 100 EU plus 15 EU per connected Iron Fence.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Magnetizer do in Industrial Craft 2?

The Magnetizer turns stacked Iron Fences into a fast vertical lift that carries players wearing metal boots upward, replacing ladders in tall structures.

Which boots work on a magnetized fence?

Iron, Gold, Bronze, Nano and Quantum boots — the five metal footwear types — trigger the upward ride along a magnetized Iron Fence.

How much power does the Magnetizer consume?

The machine idles at zero EU and draws 2 EU per tick only while lifting a player, out of a buffer of 100 EU plus 15 EU per connected fence.

What is the maximum EU input for a Magnetizer?

The Magnetizer survives up to 32 EU per tick; any higher input makes the machine explode.

How many Iron Fences can one Magnetizer power?

One Magnetizer magnetizes up to 20 Iron Fences above and 20 fences below the machine at the same time.

How do you ride down without fall damage?

Sneak next to the fence to move downwards, staying as close to the Iron Fence as possible to avoid fall damage.
