Help with understanding the Mekanism 5x ore processing chain

[Golrith]

Been trying to work out the 5x ore processing chain for the latest Mekanism by using NEI, but can't really work it out.

Can anyone give a brief summary of machines required, inputs and outputs. That'll give me a start.

Don't really need the 5x ore processing, but it's something to build, which looks like it needs a lot of power, resources and space.

Although, depending on what pack your running, you might be able to skip the making sulfur part and just launch right into the Sulfur->Sulfuric Acid part. One sulfur turns into 100 acid, and it only needs 1 acid to process 1 ore into 5 bits. So you can get a lot of bang for you buck if you've got a pre-existing sulfur stockpile.

If you're running IC2/GT you can extrude the crystals into ingots in the plate extruder and bypass needing to make a Mekanism purification/crusher/enrichment/whatever-else-there-is to turn the crystals to a useable dust. It's ~800eu/item (iirc, not able to check atm) and a near-instant processing time.

salination plant needs space but the compactness of it can come from if you have extra utilities on your pack else you will be depending on TE's aqueous accumulators like 32 of them fed to 12 valves this should give you enough water to process but the day cycle needs to be maintain because the plant only works during the day the rest is kinda a bit straight forwarded

Thanks, looks like a fun build. Especially since I'm going to use pure Mekanism for it (maybe apart from the water side of things), of which I have no real infrastructure for yet. It's going to look the most technical/industrial area.

right now Ako is just doing just that so you may want to know how his setup looks like

This is a good video tutorial for 4x and 5x processing.
