IMO, Immersive Engineering tends to be severely underpowed, where as Mekanism tends to be extremely overpowered. Immersive Engineering has some neat ideas and mechanics, and is a very pretty mod, but it's quite expensive (needs lots of Steel that it makes slow to craft) for not super impressive machines. The Crusher is perhaps the most gated 2x ore processing mechanic I've ever come across in such a common mod. In most modpacks I see people either use IE for the sake of using IE, or just pick out the most useful bits and pieces; like Wires (which are fairly unique long-range power transfer) and the Garden Cloche (a good and fast single-block plant grower. The mod gets more use in Gated Progression modpacks where it's commonly found in the early game. Meanwhile Mekanism is more typical ideas and mechanics, and is a significant contributor to power creep. The first machine you make lets you make Steel in ~20 seconds IIRC, and the second is 2x ore processing which also makes the first machines much more efficient. A common build path beyond that is a 3rd machine for Crushing (and eventually 3x ore processing) and a 4th as an "Osmium Compressor" allowing the 5th to be the Digital Miner; the mod's quarry block. It gets up to 5x ore processing. It also has Energy and Speed upgrades which with a full set of both can (IIRC) turn a 20 RF/t 10 second process into a 200 RF/t 1 second process. The mod also has "Factories" which lets several machines run up to 7 or 9 (depending on version) operations in parallel. Answer from VT-14 on reddit.com

I've mostly played IE but I'm intrigued by what mekanism has to offer and I like its 21st century theme, but I'm unsure if the two mods work together, or if there will be balance issues. Anyone have experience with these two mods at the same time?

They work together really well since they all use Forge energy. I use Mekanism and Flux for my power systems. Then I tend to mix and match between Immersive Engineering, Industrial Foregoing, and Mekanism blocks for various builds depending on my needs.

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: Can Immersive Engineering power Mekanism machines?
June 2, 2021 -
Hello.
I'm using my own selection of mods in Forge for 1.16.5. I tried to use IE wires to power Mekanism smelter, chamber... But it seems that the power is not going to the machine.
I think the setup is ok, because I tried with a battery (from Powah, I think) and it worked.
Are the mod incompatible for this?
Thanks

By default, they should work together just fine. People often mess up using IE's wires by using Relays (which connect multiple wires together, but don't interact with the block they are attached to) instead of Connectors (only attach to one wire, and input/extract power from the block they are attached to). The other possibility is that Mekanism's Config has the "RF" conversion disabled. Mekanism actually uses its own internal power system; J for Joules. By default is has conversions to/from Forge Energy (RF, FE, IF, etc.), Energy Units (EU), and Minecraft Joules (MJ), but each of those conversions can be tweaked individually, and even disabled entirely. It is quite rare for a modpack to do that, but it is possible.

They should be, since IE just uses the FE API, and Mek can also use that same API. You probably just used Relays as connection points, Relays are specifically for relaying power, they can't I/O on the attached block. Connectors can I/O on the attached block, but can only have one wire connection, unlike Relays.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to get my (now extensive) IE power grid to connect to Mekanism's machines, but the Universal Cables don't seem to connect to any IE capacitors or connectors, and the IE capacitors or connectors don't seem to connect to the Mekanism machines.
Anyone had any luck getting them to interact?
Top answer 1 of 4

keep in mind you need to use the hammer on IE capacitors to set there sides to input/output

I have had no problem with getting them to connect properly you can plop a wire connector right onto a universal cable and you can get the universal cable to connect to an IE capacitor by configuring the capacitor to either input(blue dot) or output(orange dot) also tested attaching a connector to a Mek machine and it worked flawlessly if none of the above works for you there may be something set in one of the configs stopping you from doing it

Im new to Technical modsm and couldn"t decide wchich mode to chose. I was making a server for me and my friends and i can't decide wchih mod should i use. I heard Mekanism is extreamly big and Immersive being slow to progress. So what would you guys think will be best for me and my friends begginers. (Alos do they work well with create mod ?)

Mekanism is the first big tech mod I got into so I have kind of a soft spot for it. But IE is also a great choice. Honestly I think it comes down to aesthetics. Do you like high tech or industrial revolution tech better? Also, Create plus IE is awesome. Two of the best mods to put together imo. On the other hand Mekanism will quickly make Create obsolete. You can still use them together but there's usually much more efficient ways to do things with Mekanism (which sometimes isn't what you want).

Why not both? They use the same type of energy (Forge Energy/FE) so you can use machines from both mods without the need for different power generators.

But I got an IE LV capacitor which is getting charged wired using Ender IO Energy Cables to a Mekanism basic energy cube, cube is getting a charge so no problem there.
