gollark: I forgot what stuff, but I assure you that you might possibly need it.
gollark: You need Mekanism for a lot of stuff. So you are to.
gollark: You need a lot of osmarks metal, yes.
gollark: You put iron ingots and coal into the metallurgic infuser and get enriched iron. Then you run that through and get steel blend, which you smelt into steel. You can decrease coal usage by a factor of 8 by using the enrichment chamber to make compressed coal.
gollark: But it's more efficient and fast. You need a metallurgic infuser and, for coal efficiency, an enrichment chamber.
