Bessemer Control

Starts the Bessemer converter.

The control is where every order to the converter is given. Right-clicking it with one large gear and eight iron or steel rods in the hotbar spawns the vessel two blocks in front, which is what completes the structure; sneak and right-click tilts the vessel to filling, right-click with no modifier stands it upright and starts the blow, sprint and right-click tilts it the other way to pour, and right-clicking with steel bits charges them in as cold scrap. The transmission under it and the gas intake beyond the vessel have to carry its facing, or the machine completes and then refuses to run. Its own readout says only whether the axle is turning: the charge, the carbon and the status are all on the vessel.
