hey, i'm just trying stuff out here, and i've noticed that i can't actually get an industrial turbine to produce water. it's making power, and i have pipes hooked up to the vents, but there's no water coming out anywhere.
how do i make the machine actually output water? when i look at the turbine statistics, it simply says: "max water output: 0 mB/t"
i'm playing on 1.16.3, mekanism v10. i've seen someone in a tutorial do the same thing in the same version.
For some reason, mekanism's Pressure Disperser block is part of the core mekanism mod, not the mekanism generators addon (mc1.12 - SB2).
Are there other uses for the block outside the Industrial turbine multiblock?
Can it be used to transport gases/steam like a pipe or whatnot? Or was it just a forgoten block not moved over to the addon.
Pressure Dispersers
StoneBlock 2 server
After many long hours of research and trying to figure out the Minecraft mod Mekanism. So here I am trying to create a guide to help people on there way to Industrial Turbines. MEGA RF/T! Each one of my Industrial Turbines require 9,360,000 mb/t with a capacity of 184,960,000 mb/t, which produce 267.42M RF/T. In a StoneBlock 2 server it is about 10 Brine to 1 Lithium Chamber.
My Set-up:
-
20 Thermal Evaporation Chambers with a Resistive Heaters - Producing Brine (4x4x18)
-
Thermal Evaporation Block - 216 (3 Stacks + 24)*
-
Thermal Evaporation Valve - 3*
-
Thermal Evaporation Controller - 1*
-
-
2 Thermal Evaporation Chambers with a Resistive Heaters - Producing Lithium (4x4x18)
-
1 Electrolytic Seperators - Producing Deuterium and Tritium
-
2 Electrolytic Separators - Producing Deuterium and Tritium to be converted into D-T Fuel
-
6 Chemical Infusers (Maybe on 5 being supported) - Creating D-T Fuel to OC (Overclock) Fusion Reactors from 6. 2 Electrolytic Separators
-
2 Fusion Reactors receiving Deuterium and Tritium to power with the occasional D-T Fuel to OC to produce more steam.
-
Reactor Frame - 54 (58 with no glass)*
-
Reactor Glass - 4 (I surround the Laser Focus Matrix)*
-
Reactor Port - 6*
-
Reactor Controller - 1*
-
Laser Focus Matrix - 1*
-
-
2 Industrial Turbines 17x17x18
-
Turbine Casing - 1,006 (15 Stacks + 46)*
-
Reactor Glass - 9 (Viewing Window)*
-
Rotational Complex - 1
-
Turbine Rotor - 10
-
Turbine Fan - 20 (2 per Rotor)*
-
Electromagnetic Coil - 5 (Each one supports 4 blades)
-
Pressure Disperser - 224 (3 Stacks + 32)*
-
1 row same level as Rotational Complex*
-
-
Turbine Vents - 585 (9 Stacks + 9)*
-
Pressure Disperser level and up except edges*
-
-
Block Values are for 1 structure not all of them*
To move the liquids around I am using Fluid Laser Relay from Actually Additions; however steam is considered a liquid! What! (Water, Briner, Lithium, and Steam)
Gases are being moved around by Ender Gas Conduit from Ender IO (Deuterium and Tritium)
Resistive Heaters are attached via Thermal Evaporation Valve. Just needs to be in touch with it not connected via conduits or pipes. Something I learned through others set-ups. Especially useful in SB 2! Set to 2500 (1K rf/t)
Found the resistive heaters to max out at about 330K with 300mb/t
I have 2 fusion reactors from Mekanism water cooled from 4 sinks(2 per) to be able to support 2 maxed sized turbines.
Each reactor can support up to 980,000,000 mb of steam, so I believe it can support maybe 5 Industrial Turbines. That is strictly based off of numbers though. Still have to test.

I hope I did not miss anything and I am looking forward to criticism!
Edits made will be marked with an "*"
-Added block totals for Thermal Evaporation Chambers
-Added block totals for Fusion Reactor
-Added block totals for Industrial Turbines
Is it just me or is the turbine just not something that can be figured out? its always limited.. and makes about 800k rf/tick 9x9x17 and it has 105 vents 26 blades ( can't build taller )
its getting approx 24 buckets a tick of steam.. and i don't know how to get the reactor MORE water without MORE pumps
and the mechanical pipe is running 1 pipe from the reactor to turbine handeling all that.. but should be limited to 6.4 buckets?
When i try to use the quantum entangleporter i get 64 mb/tick of water per face of it?!?!?!
its almost as if the turbine is setup to not be something to ever be understood and the reactor should be used like the version 8 and JUST make power from it and don't try to make steam..
or am i just crazy and just am not understanding!?!?!
How large would it be for a 9x9 fission reactor? I’ve googled this a ton and even tried to ask people on discord and gotten no answers. Is there some kind of PDF that shows this or something?
