I spent the better part of a week building my last---honest, this is definitely the last time I redo this ---Factorization ore processing line.
External View: 8 Solar Turbines, lots of mirrors, some Red Power solar.
28 grinders, 2 routers, misc. AE I/O. Oh, and batteries. I made a lot of batteries so I could batch process magnets for the motors I needed in the grinders, mixers, etc. Throw up a row of batteries, tear them down, feed them into a fabricator, etc. Probably could have been done quick and easy with a turtle but I just don't like doing lua for one-offs.
36 mixers, filled by 6 Sorting Machines and various AE I/O. Emptied by a router. 12 Mixers for Iron, 6 for each of the other ores.
22 slag furnaces, filled by a router, emptied by a router. Chests/barrels underneath in the floor linking the inventories for the routers.
168 Crystalizers, one tower per type. Lots of routers. So many routers.
The heart. AE controller and misc. I/O, transposers filling buckets for the mixers, furnaces making ingots from crystaline metals, two input chest/tesseract/import bus rigs, tesseract back to main base AE network, and a void pipe/emitter setup to void pipe water buckets. Something in my system is duping water buckers. I seeded it with 50, had over 1000 later in the day. Set the emitter to void any buckets over 500. Why can't it dupe something useful?
I'm feeding this the ores from a red power frame tunnelbore that is mining ~384 blocks every 4 seconds.
Oh, and this is 100% automated. All I have to do is turn the tunnelbore on/off.
