Two questions:
-
is it worth doing anymore/does anyone do it?
-
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
I have a server with friends, we've been going for about a month or so. I've been the main guy doing tech, and I've recently taken an interest in the Dyson Cube Project. While we don't need this much power, we all want to finish it. We already have a collective 200 Iron Bees for Iron Production, but it isn't enough for 24 Rail Ejectors. I don't mind making more Modular Beehives, but judging by the recipes processing raw ores -> clumps -> dirty dust -> dust -> ingots seems to give a x3 bonus. However, I'm having trouble keeping up with oxygen production for the Purification Chamber. Is it worth expanding the setup to be able to keep up or should I make another beehive?
You know the Marid Crushers from Occultism right? Well, it turns out that you can put them into a Containment Jar from Ars Nouveau with the Containment Ritual, and you can also use Soul Surge in Jars.
Then all you need to do is export all the raw ores that you wish to process to a barrel and use pipes to transfer the ores into the jars, and you'll also need an item collector, I personally prefer the collector from Just Dire Things, then just put the ore dust into an Allthemodium Furnace.
I want to know the best ore processing method in allthemods 10. I know that industrial foregoing and mekanism has ore multiplication but not sure by how much or if there is any better method.
Greetings Earthings, we are trying to understand your mining and crating ways and have been doing it well and but on a fairly small scale. Our current setup requires us to manually change the filter at the ME Export Bus to start our 4x ore processing operation. Upper management has dictated that we should improve the synchronicity of our work dynamics so we have labored and built a wonderous quantum super computer structure and assembler matrix frame. Once the celebration was done we realized we had no idea how to connect one with the other and no matter how hard we hit our chemical injection chambers with ME Interfaces, Wireless Connectors, Processing Patterns, the lifeless bodies of exhausted interns, or even just staring at them with stern and disappointed looks, we have been unable to connect them. Thus we have come to the only place that knows more than our evolved alien race... Reddit.
Most of the videos and guides we can find are from the stone ages, from something called ATM7 and ATM8... the barbaric times, we would assume. We have also noted that the majority of the guides out there show how to automate the metallurgic Infuser. Sadly, most of our machines and cables have been produced in sufficient quantities and until we see the need for massive expansion to other systems we will just be needing ore processing.
For our current attempt we have stripped away the octopus of logistical input tubes going into the Chemical Injection Chambers and have placed ME Interfaces against the machines in their place. We then created a Processing Pattern of (3 Raw Copper = 8 Copper Shard) and placed that into the ME interface. and we are stuck.
The 4th tier ore processing for mekanism produces less ingots per ore than tier 3. Why is this? If there any way to change this please let me know. I am mad that I put a lot of effort into tier 4 just for it to be worse.
if anyone knows pls let me know
So what ore processing setup is the "best" i normally do mekanism 5x but i want to do something different so i was thinking of using oritech but what do you guys use for late game ore processing
Hey folks, I'm trying to use SFM to program the inputs/outputs of my Mekanism ore processing system so that I can Soul Surge 5/6 sides of each block and really ramp up the production speed.
Each machine in the process has all sides turned off except for an Input/Output on the bottom where the Fancy Inventory Cables will go.
All the Inventory cables are piping into an AE MEGA Interface.
I did all of the coding for the SFM myself, so I'm a bit worried I may have gotten some stuff mixed up. Namely, I'm not sure if I need a separate label for inputting and outputting stuff for the MEGA Interface. I've seen some code from Bucketst's Modular Bees setup that has a Power, Storage, and Resupply tag on each of the ME/MEGA interfaces, and I'm not sure if I need to do something similar, or if I can get away with just a Power and Storage label.
Code: (Apologies ahead of time for terrible formatting)

So, I am currently using mekanism's 4x ore processing line, but I have an issue. Sometimes, only 2 dirty dust gets sent, meaning it can't process it since it needs 4 for the recipe. I'm wondering what solutions, if any, have been figured out for this.
I'm willing to use any logistical system, including sfm. I use sfm currently but I couldn't figure out how to fix the issue, but maybe there's something I haven't thought of.
.
Update: I managed to solve the issue using integrated dynamics, for anyone finding this thread.
-
Have all crushers feed into one buffer chest
-
Connect the buffer chest and enrichment chambers using logic cables and put an item exporter (from integrated dynamics) on each enrichment chamber, and an item interface(also from id) on the buffer chest
-
Put a blank variable card in the first slot of an exporter, and click the +. Make sure "item transfer rate" is set to 64, and "check stack size" is enabled. Do this for all exporters.
Now, stacks from the buffer chest will only export to enrichment chambers if they are at 64, meaning the amount of dirty dust being processed will always be divisible by 4. This should completely fix the issue!
Thanks everyone!
No clue if this is a bug or they nerfed the processing speeds of certain ores.
I am really confused I've literally seen no one else mention it being really slow (it takes around 5 minutes for one piece to be processed) the only machines that are slow are the injection and purification machines.
Like genuinely if you put in 3 raw atm ore that produces 10 ingots, this would take about 50 mins
Please lmk if you know anything like is it just me thats having this or is this known
** 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
Currently playing atm9 im just wondering what’s the best way to processing ores. I don’t know Mekanism at all and would to avoid going that route. I’m early game. I know I can go occultism but don’t the mod.
Just finished it, now gonna decorate it as a full factory within one cool building, what you think?
Hi all,
So I have decided to give ATM10-TTS a try to get back in the more sky factory-esque modpacks. I am currently trying to do the Ore Processing 2 questline, however, the ore count is not quite adding up. I am using the Electrolytic Seperator to get Oxygen, which is then used in the Purification Chamber with an Iron Ore block, yielding 3 iron clumps. According to the quest, those clumps need to be crushed into 2 dirty iron each, then sent to the Enrichment Chamber to get 1 dust each and then smelt it. So, according to the quest, starting from 1 iron ore, you get ->3 clumps ->6 dirty iron -> 6 dust -> 6 ingots. This is roughly equivalent to the Iron ore squeezer to hammer process, albeit automated (1 ore block -> 2-3 raw iron -> 4-6 dust -> 4-6 ingots). The problem is that the crushing process in Mekanism does not double the amount of clumps, meaning that the process in reality is 1 ore block -> 3 clumps -> 3 dirty ore ... 3 ingots, meaning that you might as well just smelt the 3 clumps.
In this case, am I making a mistake in the process or is the quest description just wrong?
Edit for those finding this later:
The quest text is, in fact, wrong, meaning that 1 clump does not get crushed to 2 dirty dust. However, there is a way to 6x ore early on by using a mechanical squeezer -> purification chamber -> smelter. This only holds for the following ores: copper, iron, gold, osmium, platinum*, zinc, and uranium. For all others, the path stated by the quest must be followed with a lesser multiplication. Higher ore processing tiers will likely offer better multiplication, but I have not gotten to them in my world yet.
For the 6x process above, using basic pipes, you need 8x speed for the smelter, 6x speed for the purification chamber, and a 3x-4x speed upgrade for the electrolytic separator with 8x chemical upgrade to get a non-bottlenecked system (only tested for the simplest versions of these machines).
*For platinum, you need a blast furnace, bulk blasting, or the foundry
What is the best way to efficiently multiply ore to ingots? to get the most value and also being fast
In my most recent play through with friends we set up mekanism ore quintuplication. However, we reached a point post-unobtainium where I would go mining and come back with the equivalent of 100s or even thousands of raw ore blocks, which the mekanism setup just cannot handle in a timely fashion. What alternatives with a good yield are there, so at least 5x? (The machines have max upgrades efficiency speed and muffling)
