=== Treated Dried Kelp ===
'''Treated Dried Kelp''' is a processed material in '''PolyFactory''' used in crafting advanced bio-components, fuels, or as a stepping stone in organic automation chains.

==== Obtaining ====
Treated Dried Kelp is produced using a '''Mixer''' supplied with '''Steam Power''' and '''Heat'''.

===== Step-by-Step Instructions: =====

# '''Build a Mixer''' Craft and place a '''Mixer''' from the Machines tab in your crafting system.
# '''Connect to a Steam Engine''' Power the Mixer by linking it to a functioning '''Steam Engine''', which provides the required '''Rotational Power'''.
# '''Add Heat Source''' Open the Mixer interface and insert '''Lava''' into the designated '''Heat Source''' slot to enable heat-based recipes.
# '''Select Recipe & Add Ingredients''' Locate the '''Treated Dried Kelp''' recipe within the Mixer's recipe list. Insert the required resources (usually '''Dried Kelp''' and a catalyst or additive, if applicable) into the input slots.
# '''Processing''' Once powered and heated, the Mixer will process the inputs and output '''Treated Dried Kelp'''.

<blockquote>⚠️ '''Note:''' This information is based on a comment on a video and may not be 100% accurate.</blockquote>💡 Tip: Be sure your Steam Engine is actively fueled and producing power. Without steam pressure, the Mixer will not operate.

PolyFactory:Crushed Raw Ore

<blockquote></blockquote>

== Ore Processing ==
'''Ore Processing''' is a key mechanic in '''PolyFactory''', allowing players to refine raw materials into usable resources. Most ores must first be crushed in a '''Grinder''' powered by '''Rotational Power''' before they can be smelted or used in recipes.

=== Crushed Raw Iron ===
'''Crushed Raw Iron''' is made by placing '''Raw Iron''' into a '''Grinder''' with sufficient rotational power.

* Input: 1 × '''Raw Iron'''
* Output: 1 × '''Crushed Raw Iron'''

<blockquote>⚠️ Grinding Raw Iron is a slow process.</blockquote><blockquote>💡 Tip: Use a '''Generator''' or another high-output rotational power source to speed up production and prevent early-game bottlenecks.</blockquote>
----

=== Crushed Raw Gold ===
'''Crushed Raw Gold''' is produced by grinding '''Raw Gold''' in a powered Grinder.

* Input: 1 × '''Raw Gold'''
* Output: 1 × '''Crushed Raw Gold'''

<blockquote>⚠️ The grinding speed is similar to that of Raw Iron — slow without proper power.</blockquote><blockquote>💡 Tip: Continuous power is key. A Generator greatly improves processing efficiency.</blockquote>
----

=== Crushed Raw Copper ===
'''Crushed Raw Copper''' is obtained by placing '''Raw Copper''' into a '''Grinder''' supplied with rotational power.

* Input: 1 × '''Raw Copper'''
* Output: 1 × '''Crushed Raw Copper'''

<blockquote>⚠️ Like Iron and Gold, Copper also processes slowly in the Grinder.</blockquote><blockquote>💡 Tip: To maintain steady output, connect your Grinder to a '''Generator''' or crank-based power system early on.</blockquote>

=== '''Crushed Raw Gold''' ===
'''Crushed Raw Gold is an intermediate material in PolyFactory used in refining and advanced component crafting.'''

==== '''Obtaining''' ====
'''Crushed Raw Gold is created by processing Raw Gold in a Grinder that is powered by Rotational Power.'''

* '''Insert Raw Gold into a Grinder.'''
* '''Once the Grinder is receiving sufficient rotational power, it will begin to slowly process the Raw Gold and output Crushed Raw Gold.'''

<blockquote>'''⚠️ Note: Grinding Raw Gold is a slow process, similar to Raw Iron.'''</blockquote>

=== '''💡 Tip: Use a Generator or other stable rotational power source to keep the Grinder running efficiently and reduce downtime.''' ===

Musical Sleep: added info

=== Crushed Raw Iron ===
'''Crushed Raw Iron''' is an intermediate resource in '''PolyFactory''' used in ore processing and metal refining chains.

==== Obtaining ====
Crushed Raw Iron is produced by placing '''Raw Iron''' into a '''Grinder''' that is supplied with '''Rotational Power'''.

* Insert '''Raw Iron''' into a powered Grinder.
* When the Grinder is receiving sufficient rotational power, it will slowly process the Raw Iron and output '''Crushed Raw Iron'''.

<blockquote>⚠️ Note: This process is significantly slower than grinding wood or coal-based materials.</blockquote><blockquote>💡 Tip: It is highly recommended to power your Grinder with a '''Generator''' or another stable, high-output rotational source to speed up production and avoid bottlenecks.</blockquote>

PolyFactory:Steel

Musical Sleep: added info

=== Steel ===
'''Steel''' is an advanced material in '''PolyFactory''', used for crafting durable machinery components, tools, and structural parts.

==== Obtaining ====
Steel is created by first crafting a '''Steel Alloy Mixture''', then smelting it into '''Steel Ingots'''.

===== Crafting the Steel Alloy Mixture =====
To create a '''Steel Alloy Mixture''', combine the following in a crafting grid:

* 2 × '''Iron Ingot'''
* 1 × '''Coal Dust'''
* 1 × '''Redstone Dust'''

This yields 1 × '''Steel Alloy Mixture'''.

===== Smelting =====
Once the Steel Alloy Mixture is crafted, it must be smelted to produce Steel:

* '''Furnace''' – 4 seconds per ingot
* '''Blast Furnace''' – 2 seconds per ingot

<blockquote>💡 Tip: Using a Blast Furnace is recommended for faster production when processing large amounts of Steel.</blockquote>

PolyFactory:Coal Dust

Musical Sleep: added info

=== Coal Dust ===
'''Coal Dust''' is a resource in '''PolyFactory''' used in various crafting recipes, including advanced alloys and fuel processing.

==== Obtaining ====
Coal Dust is produced by grinding '''Coal''' or '''Charcoal''' in a '''Grinder''' that is powered by '''Rotational Power'''.

* Place either '''Coal''' or '''Charcoal''' into a functioning Grinder.
* Once the Grinder is supplied with sufficient rotational power, it will process the item and output '''Coal Dust'''.

<blockquote>💡 Tip: Charcoal is a renewable alternative to Coal and can be used interchangeably in the Grinder to produce Coal Dust.</blockquote>

PolyFactory:Saw Dust

Musical Sleep: gave it a description

=== Saw Dust ===
'''Saw Dust''' is a byproduct item in '''PolyFactory''' used in various crafting recipes, particularly in early automation and material processing.

==== Obtaining ====
Saw Dust can be obtained by processing any type of '''Wood''' block in a '''Grinder''' that is supplied with '''Rotational Power'''.

* Insert any standard wood block (e.g., Oak Wood, Birch Wood, etc.) into a powered Grinder.
* Once the Grinder is receiving sufficient rotational power, it will begin to process the wood block, producing '''Saw Dust''' as an output.

<blockquote>💡 Tip: Ensure the Grinder is correctly connected to a rotational power source (such as a Crank, Gearbox, or Engine) to function properly.</blockquote>
