Mekanism Ore Processing

Description

Mekanism adds various tiers of ore processing for better ingot yields from raw ores.

Each tier uses a specific maching to process the raw ore (for direct ingots, dusts, clumps, shards, or crystals.) Then the product is processed by the machines of the previous tiers

Tier 0

Single Ingot Yield

This is the stock minecraft Tier of directly smelting ores into ingots. First energy is producted for example by Heat Generator in passive mode.

1 Raw Ore -> Energized Smelter -> 1 Ingot

Tier 1

Double Ingot Yield

New machines on this tier: Enrichment Chamber

1 Raw Ore -> Enrichment Chamber -> 2 Dusts -> Energized Smelter -> 2 Ingots.

Tier 2

Triple Ingot Yield

New machines on this tier: Purification Chamber Crusher

1 Raw Ore + Oxygen -> Purification Chamber -> 3 Clumps -> Crusher -> 3 Dirty Dusts -> Enrichment Chamber -> 3 Dusts -> Energized Smelter -> 3 Ingots

Oxygen can be obtained by Water -> Electric Pump -> Electrolytic Separator -> Oxygen

• Hint: You can use Gas-Burning Generator to recycle Hydrogen from

Electrolytic Separator back into energy.

Tier 3

Quadruple Ingot Yield

New machines on this tier: Chemical Injection Chamber 1 Raw Ore + Hydrogen Chloride -> Chemical Injection Chamber -> 4 Shards -> 4 Shards + Oxygen -> Purification Chamber -> 4 Clumps -> Crusher -> 4 Dirty Dusts -> Enrichment Chamber -> 4 Dusts -> Energized Smelter -> 4 Ingots

The chain to make Hydrogen Chloride is self sustaining but quite involved. Water -> Electric Pump -> Salination Plant -> Brine -> Electrolytic Separator -> Hydrogen and Chlorine -> Chemical Infuser -> Hydrogen Chloride

Tier 4

Quintuple Ingot Yield

New machines on this tier: Chemical Dissolution Chamber Chemical Washer Chemical Crystalizer

1 Raw Ore + Sulfuric Acid -> Chemical Dissolution Chamber -> Ore Slurry -> Ore Slurry + Water -> Chemical Washer -> Clean Ore Slurry -> Chemical Crystalizer -> Crystals -> Into Tier 3 Setup for Processing

You need a chain to make Hydrogen Chloride the same as Tier 3. You also need a source of Gravel/Flint/Gunpowder.

Gunpowder + Hydrogen Chloride -> Chemical Injection Chamber -> Sulfur Sulfur -> Chemical Oxidizer -> Sulfur Dioxide Sulfur Dioxide + Oxygen -> Chemical Infuser -> Sulfur Trioxide Water -> Rotary Condensentrator -> Water Vapor Water Vapor + Sulfur Trioxide -> Chemical Infuser -> Sulfuric Acid
