Hello, I would like to know which is the better solution to the chlorine bottleneck I'm currently facing-a second evaporation plant or making my existing one taller. It has a powered resistive heater on it. My chemical infuser is specifically struggling to have enough chlorine to make enough hydrogen chloride to keep up with my elite injecting factory, which drags down production.

Also, please don't say stuff like "crusher spirits"-it's annoying and unhelpful to me. I have a full t5 facility going, and I'd like to make it be ever so slightly better.

I finally decided to process my ores and setup Mekanism’s 5x ore processing, but what I found is that number of machines in the main line is not linear. So, for one dissolution chamber I need like three washers, 15 crystallizers, five injectors, etc..

Has anyone done the math to figure out the optimal numbers of machines (with max or optimal upgrades) for each step of the main 5x ore processing setup, so it has no bottlenecks?

So I'm working on a Mekanism 5x ore processing setup and, as per usual, the chemical crystallizer is the bottleneck (even when fully upgraded). To have the crystallizer not bottleneck you need 10 of them to 1 of the each of the other machines in the system. Each ore generates 1000mb of [OreName] slurry which processes to 1000mb of clean [OreName] slurry. 200mb of this clean ore slurry is then processed into one [OreName] crystal this then processes through the system.

As 1 ore = 1000mb and there are 10 chemical crystallizers, each chemical crystallizer gets 100mb from one ore, not the 200mb needed for the recipe to process. My source for ore is a void ore miner from environmental tech, meaning ores come one by one and almost definitely not the same ore twice in a row.

This means the system breaks down when 10 chemical crystallizers are used when they are directly connected up.

I have come up with a few ideas to attempt to fix this problem:

1. Have only 2 ore go into the system at one time - done using AE2 (level emitters and export busses)

2. Just use 5 chemical crystallizers as then each gets 200mb automatically

3. Put buffer gas tanks between the washer and the chemical crystallizers

4. Have the first three machines of one system per ore (I can't figure out how to filter mechanism gas, if there is a way then that can be added to this list)

Problems with these solutions:

1. If done using this method then if I ever input an odd amount ore greater than two from another source into the system (fairly likely to happen as I supplement with additional mining) it will likely break down as it will input as much ore as it can into the ore processor, resulting in an odd amount being processed, leaving 100mb in the chemical crystallizers, breaking the system. - also a ridiculous amount of emitters would be needed

2. It still bottlenecks, just a bit less

3. Due to the amount of ore in the pack I would need quite a few tanks, due to the nature of the pack that means a (currently) impractical amount of resources and time taken to make that amount of tanks, also I want to see if I can find a more elegant solution.

4. Same problem as above, but worse. It would be an even impractical number of resources and an in elegant solution.

Any ideas/ Criticism of the soloutions proposed would be helpful.

TL;DR: Could do with a simple way to make sure only an even amount of ore is ever outputted into my ore processor so it doesn't break.

Edit: for those curious there are 41 different ore slurry's and more ores than that that are reduced down by ore dictionary.

Anyone got any better setups to get through auto crafting/ore processing?

Using a large storage barrel to pipe all the auto crafting requirements into one place and then a logistical sorter to pipe the resources to the right machine before returning to the network as processed items.
(Downside being overlapping recipes are a no-no, cant make iron dust as iron is already in the system as being piped to the metallurgic infuser for infused alloys.) works quite well otherwise.)

The logistical sorter just sends anything matching *ore to the purifier so I can export ores to the diamond barrel without worry.

My largest problem is the purifying factory bottleneck. It requires 3 crushers/enrichers/smelters to keep up, which is fine considering it's creating 3 for each action. However multiple ore types result in only one or 2 being output to the adjacent chest each second.

Trying to use a pipe in pull mode instead of a chest doesn't seem to increase the speed the machine outputs either.

Does anyone have any more efficient setups to get through this ungodly amount or ore?

TLDR; I need help finding a better setup.

So I have had it all hooked up, but obviously there are some bottlenecks in the system. Is there a most efficient number of machines to use? For example how many machines should I produce sulfuric acid with to feed a certain number of dissolution chambers? Is there some kind of ideal ratio? Or a guide someone can point me to? I don't want to make the factory too big for no reason.

Hi, i would like to Optimize Mekanism Ore Processing, id like to know how many can be fed with 1 chemical dissolution chamber, for example to have it run efficient, 1 Chemical dissolution chamber can feed x amount of chemical washers at the same time and x amount of chemical washers etc can feed x amount of chemical crystallizers etc. etc. does someone knows this?

For my Enigmatica 2 Expert run right now I currently have a sieving setup as well as a Void miner Tier 5 (6 speed mods, rest luck) feeding into 4 Mekanism Ore Quadrupling setups (Elite Factories). However, the amount of ore coming in is honestly too much for my setup, and ends up getting clogged up with a huge backlog, multiple ore types in each factory slowing it down, and more or less getting stuck on doing one type of ore because my miners are going so fast they never run out of that type of ore, leaving the other to sit unprocessed. I could use some advice of working out the kinks with this, whether that means sharing your own setup for processing ores, general advice, explaining why something about ore tripling makes it always act this way, etc.
 
One alternative I thought of but am not sure I like is going down to ore doubling instead of tripling and making an ore doubling setup for each individual ore type to make sure I'm getting a steady supply of each type of ingot.
 
I can also provide images of my setup if you'd like

Hey folks! I've got my 5x ore processing going, but my chemical washer is acting as a bottleneck to the rest of the process. How can I process slurries into clean slurries at a faster rate?

What is the max throughput you have experienced with a maxed Mekanism 5x ore processing setup? The next big project I am looking to tackle on my server is getting one setup to handle the output of 2 tier 4 ore miners from environmental tech.

So I wanted to know what the best way of processing was for ingots or ores if it is even possible to process ingots. I see mekanism in old posts from ATM7 elemental craft etc. But none ever talk about ingot processing or if it's even possible.

So what is the best ore or ingot processing in All the mods 8 ?

Looking for ways to speed up mekanism ore processing. It seems to really slow down at the crystallizer so wondering if there’s anyway to speed that up other than upgrades. I’ve tried putting multiple but then the chemical gets split too much and they all get stuck with some left but I currently have two

I do have the most recent 1.7.10 version of mekanism but whenever I make the 5x ore processing setup I never seem to have enough brine. Has anyone found the perfect number of salination plants in the desert to keep up with the lithium and the amount of brine needed?

Currently playing atm9 im just wondering what’s the best way to processing ores. I don’t know Mekanism at all and would to avoid going that route. I’m early game. I know I can go occultism but don’t the mod.
