iron or so before the iron ore comes out let's grab the conveyor belt down the bottom I've got a hot bar and I've got the conveyor belt on three so I just press three I grabbed that there and I place it in here and we get a conveyor belt and all the iron ore just spilling out Wow exciting okay cool so now this is a smelter and in the smell - we need to smelt or into ingots and we have to choose a recipe because not always smells can do more than just iron ingots they can only just do that here in this example so I'm just gonna click that recipe and it shows that it needs iron ore it'll turn it into iron ingots but nothing's happening in fact it's not even taking anything in why oh because of power fancy that it needs power Oh didn't see that coming all right so let's hook it up to the biomass burner well I can't seem to make a power line that's because buildings I only have one attachment point so we have to get rid of that and see now I can connect again but you can see that there's like this big power pole hologram here I look at the ground it's there as well and what that'll do is it'll build a power pole and connect it with the power line and the cool thing about power poles is they are up to four connections this one does and so from here I could just build power line to the minor and then another one out to the smelter and now the smelter is working one thing to consider though is that there's only one more output on this power pole so what I like to do is I like to just build out another power pole so now that one's full but we have three more there so we might as well just hook everything up I guess for now now that we've talked about power poles I have to drag one more out here put one on that one and I have a building over here as well okay so we should be good for power for this demonstration now so the smelter
