Made a steel farm that uses the Melter. but the iron is Melter is really slow. Can i speed up the Melter in any way from the default?

So the game told me to use lava, I used lava, not enough heat, sure enough, iron says it needs 234, only at 200, but how do I get that 34? The recipe said a bucket of lava should do it, but it didn't. Do I need to use a different block? Have a melter on top of seared heater, already melted down tin w/coal.

This is my setup I can’t identify the reason why it would not melt iron any advice would be helpful.

So I made a full smeltery in my world, because for whatever reason the mini one wouldn't get hot enough to melt the amber even with a bucket of lava. So this was the very basic smeltery, with 1 controller, 1 seared tank, 2 faucets, 1 casting basin and 1 casting table.

At the level of smeltery I can only put 9 things in at a time. I filled my smeltery with about 6 ingots worth of Molten Iron before realizing I don't have the right sapling to make ironwood. So I switched to Tin and filled up the smeltery with molten tin. I right-clicked to properly put the birch sapling in the Casting Table which is where I know it's supposed to be. But for whatever reason when I right click the faucet for the casting table, nothing comes out.

Do you need a certain amount of molten tin to turn the tree into an Tin Sapling? And if so can a basic smeltery even meet that amount? Do I need a cast? I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong and considering this seems to be how I get the remaining trees I'm stuck unless I start doing cheats which I'd prefer not to

I'm trying to use my melter for the first time and it's not working. I right click it and nothing happens. I can use other tinkerer's construct equipment, just not the melter. I made the porcelain melter as well but it also doesn't work :( any ideas?

Hopefully I’ve put enough mod info in the title - basically I have the melter set up correctly, but when I try to connect an energy cable to it, it just doesn’t connect?

For context, I have an energy battery that is full with FE, and the energy extraction cable attached, but it just doesn’t connect to the melter. The tutorial I was following (onlydraven gaming on YouTube) was simple and I set it up exactly the same, but other people in the comments are having the same issue. Anyone can help me here?? I created a bloody fission reactor thinking it would power this and I’m frustrated it’s not working!
