Two questions:

1. is it worth doing anymore/does anyone do it?

2. those that have, the first step is 3 raw ore, how do you setup processing that doesn’t backlog with 1 of something in there waiting for 2 more etc?

With MA, Bees, Lasers, miners, quarries…. All of which can be really near limitless, is there any need to set up the max processing setup from Mekanism? I used to love getting that 1:5 love and I believe the math is like 1:7 now if I’m not mistaken but do you need it and is it worth setting up? It seems easier now days as you can skip the difficult part of sulfur since you get so much with MA?

Then, how do you automate the process but make sure you don’t clog the thing with one or two ores and make a mess of everything? Is there a way to have some buffer that can only move into say a second buffer if there are 3x of the raw ore?

I am aware that they have reduced the output of the engines in mekanism, (i.e. the gas burner). But have they also nerfted the 5x ore processing ? 4x worked just fine and was amazing, I then set up for 5x and after it was said and done its barely came out 2x...

Edit: This is what I am referring too. I have the 4x working well,. https://wiki.aidancbrady.com/wiki/Ore_Processing

** This turned out to be a bug with the version I was running (2.7). Updating to 2.13 has since fixed this **

I've played ATM's before, and I've always gone for a Mekanism 5x ore processing system. However, I've noticed that I only get 1.5x out of a Tier 4 system in ATM10 -- is this intentional? I've tried vanilla and modded raw ore, both of which only get me 1.5x.

The system works; all ores go through, so it's not a configuration issue as far as I can tell. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me? TIA
