Power Gen Changes

Buffed

Generator Change Notes
Bio Generator 280 500 RF/t Makes it more of an option instead of straight out using GBG.

Nerfed

Generator Change Notes
GBG Ethylene 78K ~8.5k RF/t Super nerfed but promotes good setups.

Higher burn rate = more melons needed for setup.

Recipe has been made harder for the GBG.

AE2 Mekanism Infuser Auto-Crafting

Using ME Pattern Providers, we can fully automate the Metallurgic Infuser and Enrichment Chamber. This setup will only use 2 channels of your main network.

Materials
  • 1x Metalluric Infuser (higher the level, the better)
  • 1x Enrichment Chamber (higher, the better)
  • 1x Quartz Fiber
  • 8x AE2 Cables
  • 2x ME Pattern Provider (Block form)
  • 1x ME Interface (Panel form)
  • 2x ME Storage Bus
  • 8x Blank Patterns
Do you have Refined Obsidian automated already?

You can skip the Obsidian Dust filter on the left storage bus and the Refined Obsidian Dust Pattern and instead make a processing pattern to turn Refined Obsidian Ingots into Refined Obsidian Dust and put that in a Pattern Provider connected to a Crusher.

Building and Configuring

  1. Put down your Metallurgic Infuser and place an ME Storage Bus on both sides of the infuser.
  2. Place an ME Pattern Provider right behind the infuser and put an ME Interface on top, then place a Quartz Fiber on the side.
  3. Place 7 AE2 cables (Yellow in the example) connecting all AE2 devices. The orange cable connects to your main AE2 network.
  1. Adjacent to the Infuser, place an Enrichment Chamber and a Pattern Provider behind it and place a cable connecting both pattern providers.

If you’re using the same colored cables, place a Cable Anchor between them or use a different color.

  1. Set the Infuser & Enrichment inputs/outputs like the images below.

The Infuser will input items on the left (Red Slot) and Extra Items on the right (Yellow Slot) while the Enrichment Chamber will input/output the back (Purple).

  1. For the ME Storage Buses item filters have Iron, Infused Alloy, Enriched Alloy, and Obsidian Dust on the left side and Enriched Redstone, Diamond, and Obsidian on the right.

Processing Patterns

Now, we’ll encode the Processing Patterns. These patterns are made so there will be a (essentially) 0% chance of clogging the Infuser due to leftover materials.

Make sure to set the patterns to Process (Furnace icon) instead of Crafting (Crafting Table icon).

  • 8 Iron + 1 Enriched Redstone = 8 Infused Alloy
  • 4 Infused Alloy + 1 Enriched Diamond = 4 Enriched Alloy
  • 2 Enriched Alloy + 1 Enriched Obsidian = 2 Atomic Alloy
  • 1 Obsidian = 4 Obsidian Dust
  • 1 Redstone = 1 Enriched Redstone
  • 1 Diamond = 1 Enriched Diamond
  • 1 Refined Obsidian Dust = 1 Enriched Obsidian
  • 8 Obsidian Dust + 1 Enriched Diamond = 8 Refined Obsidian Dust

Then you’ll put patterns in each pattern provider as shown below.

Make sure to give both machines power and to enabled Auto-Split.

Fission Reactor Temp Calculation

Big shoutout to Kayla for these equations! Go check out her CC Mek SCADA on GitHub!

Use the equation below to estimate how hot your reactor will get at a specific burn rate for either water or sodium coolant. Remember the reactor starts taking damage at >1200K!

Water: burn_rate(1) * 2 * [1,000,000 * (heat_capacity-1)] + 373.15

  1. in mB

Sodium: burn_rate(1) * [1,000,000 * (heat_capacity-1)] + 373.15

  1. in mB
How do I calculate heat_capacity?

heat_capacity is joules per kelvin based on the physical size of the reactor, by default thats 1000x the amount of ‘casing’ which includes reactor glass, casing, valves, etc.

- Kayla

heat_capacity = (2 * W2) + [(H-2) * (W2 -(W-2)2)] * 1000

W and H are the Width and Height of Fission Reactor respectively
