As a creative idea I thought to turn the sludge from mfr (minefactory reloaded) into the industrial diamond you can make in ic2 (industrial craft 2). This machine is not the most efficient at making diamonds due the amount of time it takes for you to have enough ash ( this problem could be fixed by using more sludge boilers) but it was fun to still make this. The creation itself is made of two parts: the sludge profuction, and the diamond creation. Lets start with the sludge production.
This is the easiest part of the build because of having only one basic function and that is to produce sludge. This contraption uses 4 harvesters, planters, fertilizers, and sludge boilers. The planters will plant seed which will be turned into wheat to be harvested. Next all the sludge will go into the boilers to create various items; however, what the most important part of it is ash. The ash will be put into a barrel while the other items go into a diamond chest ( you can also use a trash can from extra utilities if you have it installed). After this the ash goes through a long process of turning into the all mighty industrial diamond.
Here is where the crafting comes in: first up is coal creation, this is done by combining 9 pieces of ash into 1 piece of coal; the coal is the tooken into a macerator to be turned into coal dust (seen on the left), on the right side we have 2 igneous extruders making cobble stone and obsidian, the cobble stone will be pulverized into sand with a small chance of making gravel which becomes re pulverized into flint. The coal dust and flint will go into another crafting table to be turned into a coal ball which gets compressed into a compressed coal ball. Now remember that obsidian from earlier, well now is when it comes to use. Combining this and 8 compressed coal balls will create 1 coal chunk which will get compressed a final time to get 1 industrial diamond.
Thank you for your patience in reading this I hope you enjoyed and use the in your world send me a picture of contraptions similar of not more compact then the one I made.
