r/feedthebeast on Reddit: So... What exactly can you do with Mekanism?
October 14, 2021 -
I added Mekanism to a modpack because I needed a way to produce forge energy for another mod, and while it's a very interesting mod I never made much use of it. I had no use of anything more powerful than windmills and solar panels, which is a shame because I'd love to actually build the more advanced stuff like the reactors, but there's not much point in building them if they're just going to sit idle. So if anyone knows of any engaging, practical mods that consume lots of forge energy (or things within Mekanism itself that I'm missing) I'd love to hear it.

If you're in 1.16, besides stuff like ore quintupling, they've also added the Mekasuit, a set of armor that uses energy and makes you basically invincible as long as it's charged

Quick guide on how to start and progress through Mekanism? (TPPI)
Start with a heat generator and metallurgic infuser. Just use coal or lava buckets in the generator. You don't need any cables yet, just set them next to each other. Use those to make the enrichment chamber. (2x ore processing) You can make an energized smelter or just keep using furnaces for now. Next, I would make a wind turbine, energy cell, and some universal cable. Make the smelter now if you didn't already. Hook it all up in a line. (Throw away the heat generator, don't waste time trying to surround it with lava for tiny amounts of power) Next, if you want more power, make electric pump (or TE aqua accumulator/ender io resevoir).. hydro gen.. and electrolytic separator. This is massive power. Like mid to almost late game. If the wind turbine or 2 is enough, move on to Crusher, and Purification Chamber. (3x ore processing). Also make an Osmium Compressor for the next set of machines and tools. Now, you have everything you need for the Digital Miner. Just need 11 diamonds. After that.. Make everything. You have plenty of materials. :D Robit, Atomic Disassembler, and all the Obsidian gear/tools you can afford are all worth it. Obsidian tools are super good and super enchantable. I've gotten stuff like Efficiency III, Unbreaking III, Fortune IV on level 15 enchant on the Obsidian Paxel. Ridiculous. (Oh.. and Jetpack. It's slow, but mekanism jetpack to fly up, then hang glider while holding shift is the best flight there is!) You could make all of this before the Digital Miner.. but making the miner first gives you all the materials you need to make this stuff and all the other things. More on reddit.com
Some cool stuff in Mekanism 1.7.10
Gaseous brine... why? That stuff should be around 1500°C 2500°F. And unless you for some reason decided to keep the superheated steam around, you should have had amazing seperation of the salt and steam halfway trough the process anyway. What's next? gaseous steel? More on reddit.com
Should I start mekanism?
It's pretty useful for power generation, and obviously ore duplication. Depends on your play style. I Did all of mekanism then circled back to Mystical Agriculture because I needed a better supply of certus Quartz. More on reddit.com

The mod doesn't have any main goals, and you'll notice this when you see the seemingly random content Mekanism contains (from jetpacks to balloons). However, there is a somewhat linear progression system that is both easy to follow and increases in complexity as the player becomes more accustomed to the mod, making sure that the player will have an easy time getting into the mod without ever getting bored of it.
