Infuser

The Infuser is a powered mid-game machine that infuses a catalyst into an input item to produce an output. Primary uses: automated chip production and energized iron.

Recipe Format

Each infuser recipe is catalyst + input → output, and one operation yields 1 output. The number in the tables below is how many catalysts each operation consumes — the input is always 1. So redstone | iron_ingot → energized_iron_ingot (×4) means 4 redstone + 1 iron ingot → 1 energized iron ingot per craft. (Each op also draws 1,600 energy — the infuser is a powered machine.)

This page covers the primary chip + energized-iron recipes; the infuser also infuses steel (see Steel & Smeltflare), netherite, and many other materials — it's not exhaustive.

Chip Recipes

These are an automated alternative to the UC Workbench chip recipes.

Catalyst	Input	Output	Cycles
redstone	steel_plate	chip	2
gold_dust	chip	basic_chip	2
energized_iron_dust	basic_chip	advanced_chip	2
diamond_dust	advanced_chip	expert_chip	2
netherite_dust	expert_chip	ultimate_chip	2

Note: infuser chip recipes use dusts and plates as inputs/catalysts, not raw ingots. You'll need a Crusher and Electro Press to supply these.

Energized Iron Recipes

Catalyst	Input	Output	Cycles
redstone	iron_ingot	energized_iron_ingot	4
redstone	iron_dust	energized_iron_dust	4

The infuser is the mid-game automated source of energized iron once you have power infrastructure running.
