How to get Titanium - InfiTech2 (v3.2.21) / Gregtech5

[headsh0t_harry]

Dear all,

Apologies for posting a question that will probably have the answer "use NEI you donut!!" but I'm really struggling to pin-point down how to make Titanium within the Infitech 2 mod pack. I've seen many different videos, and attempted to scroll my way through NEI, but I guess i'm just being rather dumb as I can't nail down the process for the resultant Titanium Ingot.

As mentioned, we're using Infitech 2 (v3.2.21) which is based on Gregtech v5 I think.

Appreciate any of you kind fold helping me out.

Thanks,

There's a very friendly thread dedicated to Infitech here. You'll get good answers there.

From memory though, for titanium you need to process rutile. Also, the EBF will cook a hot ingot which needs to be put into a vacuum freezer to get the normal one.

Thank you - I have 1 piece of Rutile so far (testing etc) - any quick steps on how I process that into Titanium? Will start hunting through the Infitech 2 threat as well. Thanks again for stepping in...

ahhhhhhh:

• The Process
  • Combine 1 rutile dust, 3 carbon dust, and 2000mB of chlorine in the HV chemical reactor
  • Put the resulting titaniumtetrachloride in the EBF along with 2 magnesium dust
  • Get 1 titanium ingot and 2 magnesium chloride dust

You can then reprocess the magnesium chloride dust to get 75% of the magnesium and chlorine back at the cost of a sodium dust, so all together the process costs 1 sodium dust, 2 carbon dust, 1 rutile dust, 0.5 magnesium dust, and 500mB chlorine per titanium ingot.

Gonna give this a go..... thank you for the pointer

Cool - so you don't need the vac freezer at least

I do love that this is basically how it's done in real life - it pleases the chemistry nerd in me I feel like I should give InfiTech2 a go...

It's a fantastic pack - I've played through three or four worlds and never come close to finishing everything that's possible. If you've no experience with GregTech though, you might want to look at a few let's plays. Otherwise, the only other thing to note is that Thaumcraft is also very important but lots, if not most, recipes have been heavily modified to fit in.

Hell, I helped put it together and even *I* haven't finished everything (never reached top tier GT or TC stuff)

What makes it so hard to get to? Does it require stupid amounts of hard to get/make materials?

 

[SolManX]

For all packs, even vanilla, I always find it difficult to scale up after a certain point. I like automating things, but find that once I've done it, all I do is end up watching inputs and outputs

What's good about GT in general, for me, is that the earlier 'ages', where automation is hard, last a long time and there's a slow build up. Infitech stretches that out a lot, lot further.

In a "good" gregtech pack, there's going to be times when you run into this scenario:
1) Ok, I need titanium. How do I make that?
2) Alright, its just a freezer recipe...
3) Which requires hot ingots from a Blast furnace...
4) Which needs dust from a (very high tier) chemical reactor...
5) and fluid from another chemical reactor...
6) which need electrolyzers for both...
7) ...fuck it I'm playing angry birds.

Blimey what happens in a "bad" GregTech pack?!

The same thing except you don't come back for more punishment an hour later.
