Note that every speed upgrade makes the machine 33% faster, and the Power Usage increases with ~77% (33²%), which makes for an increase in power usage for each operation with 33%

They still consume up to 100x the power per tick as usual, but as a result of the extra speed they are actually more efficient than base version per operation when fully upgraded.

Upgrades are essential to machines if you wish to improve them. Currently there are seven upgrades:

  • Speed Upgrade
  • Energy Upgrade
  • Gas Upgrade
  • Muffling Upgrade
  • Filter Upgrade
  • Anchor Upgrade
  • Stone Generator Upgrade

To install an upgrade, the player can either use the machine's upgrade tab in its UI, or shift-use the upgrades on the machine.

A Mekanism machine upgrade to make them process items faster, you can install 8 of these in each Mekanism machine. If you were to apply speed upgrades to a factory, the power consumption is accumulative. For example, if each operation were to cost 50J/t, a basic factory with 3 ongoing operations will cost 150J/t.
Upgrade your power setup before upgrading your machines, as the power usage per tick escalates severely with every speed upgrade applied, requiring more power to complete a single machine process.
If you plan to use Speed Upgrades for a machine, it is advised to also install Energy Upgrades and Gas Upgrades if applicable, to balance out the energy cost.

Here's a tables:

# of Speed Upgrades Speed Multiplier Time per Operation (20 ticks = 1 sec) Relative Speed Power Usage Total Power Usage for each Operation
0 1x 200 ticks 100% 50 J/t 10,000 J
1 1.33x 149 ticks 134.2% 88 J/t 13,112 J
2 1.78x 112 ticks 178.6% 158 J/t 17,696 J
3 2.37x 84 ticks 238.1% 281 J/t 23,604 J
4 3.16x 63 ticks 317.5% 500 J/t 31,500 J
5 4.22x 47 ticks 425.5% 889 J/t 41,783 J
6 5.62x 35 ticks 571.4% 1,580 J/t 55,300 J
7 7.5x 26 ticks 769.2% 2,810 J/t 73,060 J
8 10.0x 20 ticks 1000% 5,000 J/t 100,000 J


Notably, several machines do not follow this chart. For the machines listed below, every speed upgrade instead multiplies their speed by 2x, for a total of 256x speed. They still consume up to 100x the power per tick as usual, but as a result of the extra speed they are actually more efficient than base version per operation when fully upgraded.

The formula to calculate the energy used is DefaultUsage × EnergyMultiplier(2 × SpeedUpgrades-EnergyUpgrades)/8. DefaultUsage is the default energy used by a machine. EnergyMultiplier is a configurable multiplier that defaults to 10.

This table qualifies the rate of energy/speed efficiency with varying amounts of upgrades applied.

Speed/Energy 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
0 100% 75% 56% 42% 31% 24% 18% 13% 10%
