"text": "Before you use all your fire clay on 20 fire bricks, note that once you get into the steam age, you can create fire bricks out of only clay, through $(item)Compressed Fireclay$() (you'll need steam machines for the clay dust). This allows you to save $(item)Kaolinite$() and $(item)Graphite$() for $(thing)Casting Tables$()."

"type": "patchouli:spotlight",
"title": "Preheating Metal",
"item": "tfc:firepit",
"text": "To convert the iron to steel, the blast furnace must heat the iron inside to $(thing)Brilliant White$(). On the first operation, the metal warms up along with the blast furnace. However, subsequent operations will take a similar amount of time despite the furnace being at temp already, as it needs to heat the metal from cold."
},
{
"type": "patchouli:text",
"text": "If the metal is hot when added into the blast furnace, it will take less time to reach brilliant white. Consider heating your metal in a $(l:tfc:mechanics/charcoal_forge)Charcoal Forge$() before putting it into an already-hot furnace to save time, especially with smaller blast furnaces that process less at a time."

"item": "gtceu:iron_dust",
"text": "Only certain processing stages of ores are accepted in the blast furnace. $(thing)Ore Dusts$(), $(thing)Raw Ores$(), and $(thing)Cast/Wrought Iron Ingots$() work, while $(thing)Crushed$(), $(thing)Impure$(), or other stages of processing will not. But you really should $(l:tfc:tfg_ores/ore_basics#processing)Process$() your ores to dust."

"item": "create:mechanical_pump",
"text": "You'll need lots of $(item)Steel$() for the $(thing)Steam$() and $(thing)LV$() ages. Lots of steel. The $(thing)Electric Blast Furnace$() is far off, so maybe think about optimizing your steel production."
},
{
"type": "patchouli:text",
"text": "You can pump liquid directly out of the blast furnace using a Create $(item)Mechanical Pump$(). Pump into a $(l:tfc:tfcchannelcasting/channel_casting)Mold Table$() and extract the ingots with a hopper or chute: Easy automation!$(br2)You can automate the bellows with a $(item)Deployer$() too! Just be careful, as using the bellows excessively consumes more fuel and breaks your $(thing)tuyere$() faster.$(br2)You can process the resulting $(item)Pig Iron$() and $(item)High Carbon Steel$() in a $(thing)Forge Hammer$()."
