Summary

The Copper Coil is a crafting component: copper cable wound around a tin core. It's an item, not a block — you only see it as an ingredient in recipes. Its first job is the Electric Drill, which takes two coils in the bottom row of its recipe. The coil is the mod's first "electrical" part — it ties two of the base material lines (copper cable and tin) into a single piece that later electric tools and devices build on.

Mini-example: once you're making copper cable and have some tin, wind three ingots' worth of core with six lengths of cable to get a coil — that's halfway to an Electric Drill.

Energy

Uses no energy — it's a plain crafting ingredient.

How it's used

A pure intermediate. It crafts into the Electric Drill (two coils per drill), and is expected to appear in later electric tools and devices.

Block Properties

Not applicable (item). Stack: 64.

Recipes

Crafted at a workbench (shaped 3×3): a column of three tin ingots as the core down the middle, with six lengths of copper cable as the winding filling the left and right columns.

W — copper cable (×6); C — tin ingot (×3, core). The recipe appears in the recipe book once you have copper cable or a tin ingot.

Progression

A component with no tier of its own. Sits between early resource gathering (copper + tin) and your first electric tool. It exists so the drill can't be built from plain iron alone — you need the mod's electrical line first.

Electric Drill — the coil's first consumer. Copper Cable — the winding. Tin — the core.
