Thermal Expansion Augments

[ProtoZero]

Hey guys, this is my first post here.
So i was trying to create a dye farm. I figured that coloured wool would pulverize into their dye form sometimes. So i basically created a pulverizer with maxed out secondary output, fed some coloured wool into it, and im still getting really low outputs, maybe 1 dye per stack of wool. so my question is, Do the augments affect wool? or is this a bug?

you have to upgrade the machine to a higher tier, the augments clearly state this.

my pulverizer is resonant, and i used all 3 tiers of the augments

Might be a bug then.

im running ftb infinity, is it alright if you test it out to confirm that im not just being stupid?

from 1 stack orange wool i got 6 orange dye.

base chance to get dye from dyed wool is 5%. with max upgrade on 2nd chance it is 9.05% (5*1.81)
64*0.0905=5.792 dye from 64 dyed wool

seems fine for me. then again i dont know what version of TE4 you are using. i am running latest version

so i mistaken the fact that the augments dont add the percentage, but are a percentage of the actual percentage?
i thought adding them would result in 86% chance.

yap, you are mistaken

The augments aren't additive?

Damn, that really makes me sad that they are multiplicative.

 

[ScottulusMaximus]

Only the highest tier augment is used, it's not additive or multiplicative

So basically the lower tier upgrades are there so the higher one "works"?

Yes, you need the lower tier ones or the higher ones will do nothing.

However only the highest tier percentage is applied.

IIRC, the base chance of pulverized dye from wool was reduced (quite some time ago) to prevent people from growing their own lapis (from blue sheep). Your method will work, albeit slowly and with a ton of wasted power.

The best dye farms I've seen for Infinity revolve around Botania, as any of the Botania flower petals can be turned into the respective dye. There is a consumer flower that causes random other base flowers to grow around it. Powered even with a basic mana system (Dayblooms, for instance), and harvested with turtles (I'm sure there are other methods), and you have all the dye you will ever need.
