I have electrolytic seperator with hydrogen but i cannot get the hydrogen to go to the gas burner. Connected with basic repressure tube.
It doesnt take energy nor ethylene, everything is set up right, outputs and eject on.
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.
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?
