Surviving With Mekanism v10 :: E22 - 5x Ore Processing

Today we set up 5x ore processing, which uses sulfuric acid in the chemical dissolution chamber to produce an ore slurry. This slurry then gets washed in the chemical washer and crystallized in the chemical crystallizer before going through what was the 4x ore processing setup.

===================================

This series is based around the 1.16 mod Mekanism version 10, which is a mod that adds multiple tiers of processing machinery, energy generators, and material transportation to Minecraft.

After one year of posting this video, this is still the place where I'm coming back every time I need to setup a 5x ore processing. It's just so well explained, it's the best guide around, by a long shot. Thank you for this

Thanks for this video. A tip, you can use the fluid tank and shift scroll to make it a bucket. I works great for collecting huge amounts of lava of water. The tutorials are great.

For anyone watching this video later:

Rage is actually incorrect about the bottleneck point in 5x ore processing. You need to have an equal amount of chemical washers and chemical crystallizers. Because each ore becomes 1, 000mB of slurry, and 200mB of slurry becomes one ingot in the end, you want ideally exactly 5 chemical washers per chemical dissolution chamber, all connected to it on a single isolated pressurized tube network. If the tubes are connected to multiple outputs, they will always evenly distribute their contents. This ensures exactly 200mB of slurry goes into each washer.

From here, just place each washer directly next to its own dedicated chemical crystallizer. This will keep the slurry from getting mixed up between the machine lines.

From here, your bottleneck issue will be that a chemical dissolution chamber works twice as fast as the washers and crystallizers. While you could connect one dissolution chamber to 10 washers, this will cause the system to clog with 100mB of slurry if you ever put in an odd number amount of any ore. It's better to have two separate chemical dissolution chambers, each connected to its own dedicated and isolated tube network for its own 5 chemical washers and crystallizers.

With 10 chemical crystallizers, you can output crystallized ore slightly faster than a "factory line" (all the 4x machines, upgraded to ultimate factories) can process it, but the capacity in the machines for 9 stacks of resources will make this take an insanely long time to bottleneck. And if you're processing 9 ingots per second for that long without running out of ore, you may want to consider taking a break from Minecraft.

Dude, thanks for all ur videos and the dedication on all the different mods. U make my FTB University playthrough so much more enjoyable since i dont have to research that much. Much love

[TheNexusOfEvil]

oh damn this was released today nice, just as I was about to work on my ore processor after making a buildcraft distillery using your previous videos. thanks

[hikari]

Thanks for the series, helped me getting started with mekanism. This is like pixlriff's survival guide for modded Minecraft xD

[zanderaguirre]

Keep up with the great videos man. I can't wait to see your channel grow more and more.

[bloodakoos]

the mekanism plan:
1. set a goal
2. do the first important craft
3. do all of the stepts it takes to do the important craft
4. repeat 2 and 3 until you have everything you need to build the goal
5. build the goal
6. try to power it up
7. realize it doesnt work
8. check everything for half an hour to see whats wrong
9. you forgot to put that thing to output
10. profit from goal
11. repeat

I started with watching your ic2 series, but glad I stuck around for this!

You can pull the hydrogen out of the PRC using a gas-burning generator, it will also give you a little bit of power back. I think there may be one or 2 other spots where you can use the gas burning gen. to dispose of some extra hydrogen and get power back as a result.

[jok]

I can''t do this after 3 IPAs. I'll be back...

It seemed really complicated, but it was actually easy once I watched the video and tried the setup a few times. I left my existing setup as it was, and added the new machines at the end (to the right of the last Chemical Oxidizer processing the Uranium). After that, ran a tube for the Sulfuric Acid and water from an existing pump, and I'm getting crystals. Now have to tangle-porter it upstairs for the final product. Thanks!

Another edit: I just discovered that the tangle-porter only ports one item at a time. Boo. I may just have to run pipes.

[CarefulFox]

Great content I stayed up untill 4 watching these last night lmao

[ripbycoppa]

Dude, i love this series, i played mekanism some times but i didnt understand some stuff and i didnt feel really excited when i was playing then i saw you play mekanism and do lots of stuff i didnt know i could do now im really addicted to it and play a lot!, thank you for making this series

[lorenzobenzo]

good quality vids keep up the good work. your videos really help for returning players like me, the community is lucky to have good content creators that are consistent.

[joe-isonyoutube]

thanks, just got mine setup with your playthrough. Feels good :)

[jamesscalzo]

Rage: talks about how his Fiancé having a giggle about him talking about the different chemicals in Mekanism V10
Me: "Wait, Rage has a Fiancé? Has she played Minecraft before and are you going to introduce the fans to her?"

Loved the video Rage! There are a few mods that I like and I was hoping you'd get a chance to add them to your "Surviving with" series but it looks like they're for an older version of Minecraft, namely 1.12. Said mods are Railcraft version 1.7.10, Flans Mod, and there's a ships mod by cuchaz which basically all you do is build a boat make sure it has sufficient power/propulsion and then grab an oar, right click on the ship block and start sailing the seas in Minecraft.

I've been following a few of your vids on mekanism recently and it has helped me a lot to create neat tools and machinery for my server. So thanks, you're great at explaining and make understanding the mod a lot more easier. That 5x ore will be a good final boss tho I believe.

[billhughes]

Thanks for the tutorial for x5 Ore Processing, it really helped! This thing is a coal guzzler though, burned through 20k pieces of coal in around 30 minutes just to produce the sulfuric acid needed as I am processing a ton of ore.

[joeglatz]

To make sulfur you could just use a cobblestone generator and crush it to gravel then enrich it to flint and crush it to make gunpowder and infuse it with hydrogen chloride to make sulfer

[imnotreal]

Cool video dude just a little FYI you can water log Mekanisme blocks like the pump and it’ll work completely fine.
