How to Get Lubricant in Modern Industrialization

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of obtaining Lubricant in the Modern Industrialization mod for Minecraft. This tutorial was created for version 1.21, but the methods should work across most Minecraft versions. Lubricant is an essential fluid used in advanced machinery like cutting machines, so mastering this recipe is crucial for progressing in the mod.

Step 1: Build a Coke Oven

The first step to creating Lubricant is constructing a Coke Oven. If you’re unfamiliar with building this machine, there’s a separate tutorial available, and it’s also covered in the beginner and ultimate guides. The Coke Oven is the foundation for extracting the materials you’ll need.

Step 2: Process Coal in the Coke Oven

Input coal into your Coke Oven and power it with steam. The machine will produce Coke as an item output. However, to get Creosote (the fluid you need for Lubricant), you must add a fluid output hatch to your Coke Oven.

Once the fluid output hatch is attached, the Coke Oven will produce Creosote as a byproduct. You can extract this fluid using a fluid pipe or collect it manually with buckets—whichever method you prefer.

Step 3: Set Up Your Mixer

With your Creosote collected, it’s time to use a Mixer to create Lubricant. You can use either a bronze or steel Mixer—the choice is up to you. The Mixer requires steam to operate, so ensure you have a steam supply connected.

The droplet icons on the Mixer indicate where you add liquids. Left-click on these slots to input your Creosote.

Step 4: Add Redstone Dust and Create Lubricant

Place redstone dust into one of the item slots on the Mixer. Once both Creosote and redstone dust are in the machine, the Mixer will automatically combine them every five seconds to produce Lubricant.

Step 5: Extract and Use Your Lubricant

Once your Lubricant is created, you can extract it using a fluid pipe and transport it to your machines that require it. For example, you can pipe Lubricant directly into a steel cutting machine.

The Lubricant input on the cutting machine is marked with a specific icon. When connected with a fluid pipe from your Mixer, the Lubricant will automatically fill the correct slot. You can then add items to the cutting machine’s inventory slots to begin processing recipes.

Conclusion

You now know how to produce and use Lubricant in Modern Industrialization! This simple two-step fluid recipe (Creosote + Redstone Dust) is essential for operating many advanced machines in the mod.
