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.

1. Have all crushers feed into one buffer chest

2. 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

3. 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!

So i recently started playing mekanism on 1.12.2, and have made a "maxed out" 3x ore processor, and am ready to move on to 4x. Ive already built one once from a youtube tutorial, but when i put ores there was shortages of power, and some fluids/gases. Can anyone tell me what upgrades I need to apply to what, how many tanks and energy cubes I should have, and how many electrolytic separators i should be having to make the most efficient ore processor possible? (i already took down my previous design) links to youtube tutorials?

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.

So for that you need this solar evaporation plant which will not work without sunlight, am I right? So therefore the 4x ore processing is impossible or there is a way around it? Or maybye some other mod has similar option?

Two questions:

1. is it worth doing anymore/does anyone do it?

2. 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?
