Slag is the everyday middle grade of the three slag briquettes in the Ala Industrial tech mod. The LV-tier Recycler grinds any junk — stone, dirt, worn tools, planks — and casts one briquette each time the batch gathers 64 units of mass, about 16 ordinary blocks, while drawing 8 EU/t at 40 ticks per item. The grade depends on how varied the batch is, never on how big: one fraction holding 80% or more of the mass pays Poor Slag, all three fractions present with none over half pay Rich Slag, and two fractions in workable proportion pay plain Slag. Ala Industrial runs only on Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition, on both Fabric and NeoForge.

Slag feeds exactly one machine, and that machine stays busy: the LV Alloy Smelter fires 2 Slag together with 2 Double Carbon Rods into 1 Carbon Briquette for 1200 EU over 150 ticks. The grade only changes how much of it the firing eats — Poor Slag takes four pieces, Rich Slag takes one — so sorting junk before it reaches the Recycler makes the carbon chain cheaper. Mix mineral waste with scrap metal or burnables and keep the ash bin below three quarters full, and one chest of rubble turns into a steady stream of briquettes. The Recycler destroys everything it is fed, valuables included, so keep diamonds out of its pipes.
