Mekanism Help! | Feed The Beast - FTB Forum
I'm trying to do Mekanism ore tripling with advanced factories, all max speed and energy efficiency. Does anybody know how many electrolytic seperators that's going to take me? I'm currently using about 20 and I am nowhere near making enough oxygen for the purification factory :/ Any help appreciated Thanks in advance! ... I gave up trying. I was up to nine separators ...

Optimal power setups for the Electrolytic Separator.
If I remember correctly, and 1 Mekanism Joule (the units of power) is equal to 10 RF (and they should be, unless I'm confusing them with Eu, although I think that was 2.5 or something), the Electrolytic separator uses 4k rf/t on DEFAULT configs - 400J/t (info taken from the mekanism wiki). Now, this shouldn't be too hard to achieve... some solid fuel generators will help, and you should definitely be storing energy up even if you're not ore processing - I made an automated and entirely self sufficient (within one chunk, aside from brine production) 4x ore system with Mekanism, using factories, which increase efficiency (I believe it uses the same gas or whatever to process a full factory at a time versus one machine at a time, so anywhere from 3-7x efficiency improvement). Also, no matter what, any unused hydrogen should be burned in the generator (if it's still around in the latest Mekanism... not 100% on that). Your goal shouldn't be to make more chemicals for processing, but process in the most efficient manner - Mek is GREAT for saving space once you figure out what machines need what. More on reddit.com

October 7, 2014 - Well, 9x Speed Upgrade claims 1000% increase in speed (see link, below). That makes for 10 separators. An elite factory is nine purifiers. So... 90? The Mekanism Speed Upgrade wiki page claims "(For machines that use gasses) Machines consume gasses based on how long they are running.

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: Optimal power setups for the Electrolytic Separator.
August 21, 2015 -

So in order to get more ore with Mekanism you need oxygen and you need an Electrolytic Separator for that. I used all 8 energy upgrades and it still chugs through power like there is no tomorrow. I then built a big reactor and I still have a power deficit. I was running on 5 Advanced solar arrays before the reactor. What would you all recommend me using to even out my Power usage/creation scale?

r/ModdedMinecraft on Reddit: [Mekanism] Electrolytic Separator Infinitely Draining A LOT of Energy
January 5, 2021 -

For some reason it seems like the Electrolytic Separators from Mekanism are infinitely draining energy even though what they're connected to doesn't further require any of the resource they're generating. The only time it doesn't is if I set both resources to "Idle" - but if I do this, I will run out of one or the other resource at some point, can I can't have that for the ore multiplying setup.

Anyone else run into this?

(My temporary solution has just been putting both Electrolytic Separators to react to redstone signal and using a switch to turn them off when I'm not using them :|)
