Industrial Wire Factory

The Industrial Wire Factory (IWF) is an IV tier multiblock for drawing wire from metals. The IWF is a direct upgrade from the singleblock wiremill because it runs up to 400% speed, only uses 75% of the EU/t normally required, and offers 4 parallels per voltage tier. Input separation should be enabled on the IWF for using different programmed circuits within the same machine.

Construction

The IWF has one tiered component. The item pipe casings determine the speed bonus of the machine. The glass can be any tier and has no effect on the operation of the machine. Buses/hatches may replace any casing anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannels "item_pipe" and "glass" to specify the tier of those components.

Structure

Controller: Front bottom center
14-35 Wire Factory Casing
15 Any Tiered Glass
3 Item Pipe Casing (Tiered)
1+ Energy Hatch: Any casing
1 Maintenance Hatch: Any casing
1 Muffler Hatch: Any casing
1+ Input Bus: Any casing
1+ Output Bus: Any casing

Wallsharing

IWFs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, glass, and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

Usage

The IWF is a direct upgrade from the singleblock wiremill because it runs up to 400% speed, only uses 75% of the EU/t normally required, and offers 4 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following tables. Each item pipe casing tier increases the processing speed of the machine by +50%.

Tier	Item Pipe Casing	Speed
1	Tin	50%
2	Brass	100%
3	Electrum	150%
4	Platinum	200%
5	Osmium	250%
6	Quantium	300%
7	Fluxed Electrum	350%
8	Black Plutonium	400%

	LV	MV	HV	EV	IV	LuV	ZPM	UV	UHV	UEV	UIV	UMV	UXV	MAX	MAX+
Parallels	4	8	12	16	20	24	28	32	36	40	44	48	52	56	60

Input separation should be enabled on the IWF to prevent SOLID ingredients in different input buses from being used in the same recipe, including any programmed circuits. That means a single IWF with many input buses can support many different programmed circuits simultaneously. Just don't forget to stay above the minimum number of wire factory casings.

The most common programmed circuits for wiremill recipes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 16.
