Note that the energy cost for extracting Hydrogen from water using an Electrolytic Separator is identical to its energy density; it costs just as much energy to produce Hydrogen as is gained from burning it, making Hydrogen alone unsuitable for energy production. Refining Hydrogen into Ethene, or using compatible fuels from other mods, is essential to making the most of Gas-Burning Generators. In older versions of Mekanism...

August 21, 2020 - The problem is not with the generator but the capacitor I believe. The capacitor's side which you are trying to plug it in is clearly orange which means it is an output not allowing any inputs.

Gas-Burning Generator nerf fix · Issue #7974 · FTBTeam/FTB-Modpack-Issues
June 17, 2025 - New method as per their changelogs is to change value in data_maps, which can be achieved by creating this file: minecraft\kubejs\data\mekanism\data_maps\mekanism\chemical\chemical_attribute_fuel.json with the following contents: {"values":{"mekanism:ethene":{"burn_time":20,"energy":53},"mekanism:hydrogen":{"burn_time":1,"energy":200}}} This brings back the Ethene value and thus GBG efficiency of older Evolution packs where the nerf still worked.

Gas-Burning Generators not updating properly with new universal cable · Issue #3191 · mekanism/Mekanism
April 28, 2016 - If you break a universal cable attached to a gas-burning generator and replace it, the generator's burn rate drops to 0, but it still continues to "run" (noise persists, but it produces no energy nor does it burn fuel). If you cycle through all the redstone settings in the generator twice, the generator will start working again (cycling only once seem to have no effect).

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: [E2E] Mekanism as-burning generator problem
January 14, 2020 -

I am trying to setup some Mekanism gas-burning generators ethylene, but I can't my system to produce more ethylene than I burn.

My full setup is shown here: https://imgur.com/ObBEGEo

Basically it consists of

  • 5 IE Garden cloches producing melons

  • 2 Electrolytic separators (Upgrades: 8 energy, 3 speed)

  • 2 PRCs (Upgrades: 8 energy, 8 speed)

  • 2 Crushers (Upgrades: 8 energy, 8 speed)

  • 3 Gas-burning generators

I have seen this setup a bunch of times on this subreddit and on some E2E playthroughs on Youtube but I can't seem to get it working properly. Here are some things I've already tried/checked:

  • Not enough biomass/hydrogen/water? Nope, the PRCs are always maxed out on all of this. I did have to add speed upgrades to the Crushers and Separators to make this happen though.

  • Gas cables not good enough? Nope, the PRCs are instantly emptied of their ethylene.

  • Energy cables not good enough? Nope, I'm using enhanced energy conduits from Ender IO which are supposed to handle 50k/t which should be more than enough. The 6 machines use up a little over 6k/t. I have no idea how much the garden cloches take but the problem remains even if I disconnect them from power.

  • The energy cube shown in the image does have a low max output but I have replaced it with a conduit and the problem remains.

  • The PRCs are not backed up on substrate, they are sent to a storage drawer with a void upgrade.

  • I know this setup requires some power to kickstart but even with the generators half-full of ethylene it quickly drains.

At this point I was pretty fed up so I went to a creative testing world hoping I could figure out what was wrong. I rebuilt the same setup with the same conduits and same upgrades and was shocked to see that here it worked perfectly and the gas-burning generators filled up with ethylene. Here is my creative setup in case someone spots any difference I didn't see: https://imgur.com/D9MaNnv

I have no idea what could possibly be going wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.

(1.7.10) Ethylene not producing expected energy output in Gas Burning Generator · Issue #1683 · mekanism/Mekanism
August 15, 2014 - When using ethylene I expected the gas burning generator would produce the full 6400rf/t, but this was not the case and the gas burning generator would not output more than 360rf/t, far less than hydrogen. The "needed" amount of RF for the electrolytic separator would soar to crazy amounts such as 160000rf as well.

I got two machines making the fuel and O2 for my ore duplication/refinery for getting more materials per ore but my gas burning generator isn't getting enough fuel and I'm pretty sure it's my fuel and O2 Makers and one has a power saver upgrade and speed upgrade other is base line what can I do to make more fuel for it (I can't remember the names so that's why there simplified) also I'm still working on my bio fuel generator with my auto farm (hopefully that helps clarify)

Anyone happen to know why my Gas-Burning Generator from Mekanism caps on 3.55 burn rate?

I saw some people talk about Melon generators, and wanted to test it, but it doesnt go above 3.55 burn rate on Ethylene.

This from the wiki; " In Mekanism v10 for 1.16.5, the maximum gas burning and power generation rate is increased. Hydrogen is burned at a maximum rate of 256 mB/t, generating up to 20,480 RF/t, and Ethylene is burned at a maximum rate of 6.4 mB/t, generating up to 72,192 RF/t."

And i saw the same burn rates in some youtube videos, or did they just nerf it in ATM8?
