Description

Mekanism adds various tiers of ore processing for better ingot yields from Raw and Silk-Touch'ed Ore.

Each tier use a specific machine to process the raw ore into a product—ingots, dusts, clumps, shards or crystals. The product of each tier is then processed by the machines of the previous tiers.

Tier 0

This is the stock minecraft Tier of directly smelting ores into ingots. First energy is produced for example by Heat Generator in passive mode.

1 Raw Ore → Energized Smelter → 1 Ingot

Basic Tier 0 Setup

Tier 1

New machines on this tier:

Enrichment Chamber

This tier doubles ingot yield, similar to many other mods. It uses the Enrichment Chamber, similar to Thermal Expansion's Pulverizer and IC2's Macerator.

1 Silk Touch Ore → Enrichment Chamber → 2 DustsEnergized Smelter → 2 Ingots

Basic Tier 1 Setup

Tier 2

New machines on this tier:

This tier triples ingot yield, like Thermal Expansion's Induction Smelter (with rich slag). It uses the Purification Chamber, Crusher and Enrichment Chamber. The Purification Chamber requires a source of Oxygen.

This tier can also double raw ore you may have mined when using a pickaxe without silk touch enchanted on it.

  1. 1 Raw Ore (Non Silk Touch harvest) + OxygenPurification Chamber → 2 Clumps
  2. 2 ClumpsCrusher → 2 Dirty DustsEnrichment Chamber → 2 DustsEnergized Smelter → 2 Ingots

Or

  1. 1 Silk Touch Ore + OxygenPurification Chamber → 3 Clumps
  2. 3 ClumpsCrusher → 3 Dirty DustsEnrichment Chamber → 3 DustsEnergized Smelter → 3 Ingots

Oxygen Can be obtained like so:

Water → Electric PumpElectrolytic SeparatorOxygen

Hint: You can use Gas-Burning Generator to recycle Hydrogen produced by Electrolytic Separator back to energy. That saves a lot of energy.

Basic Tier 2 Setup

Tier 3

New machines on this tier:

Chemical Injection Chamber

Chemical Infuser

This tier quadruples ingot yield. It uses the Thermal Evaporation Plant, Chemical Injection Chamber, Electrolytic Separator, Chemical Infuser, Purification Chamber, Electrolytic Separator, Crusher and Enrichment Chamber.

  1. 1 Silk Touch Ore + Hydrogen ChlorideChemical Injection Chamber → 4 Shards
  2. 4 Shards + OxygenPurification Chamber → 4 Clumps
  3. 4 ClumpsCrusher → 4 Dirty DustsEnrichment Chamber → 4 DustsEnergized Smelter → 4 Ingots

The chain to make Hydrogen Chloride is self-sustaining.

Basic Tier 3 Setup

Tier 4

New machines on this tier (plus machines used for gas crafting, see the description below):

This tier quintuples ingot yield. It uses the Rotary Condensentrator, Chemical Dissolution Chamber, Chemical Washer, Chemical Crystalizer, Chemical Oxidizer, Solar Evaporation Plant, Chemical Injection Chamber, Electrolytic Separator, Chemical Infuser, Purification Chamber, Electrolytic Separator, Crusher and Enrichment Chamber.


  1. 1 Silk Touch Ore + Sulfuric AcidChemical Dissolution Chamber → Ore Slurry
  2. Ore Slurry + Water → Chemical Washer → Clean Ore SlurryChemical CrystalizerCrystals

Crystals are then put into a Tier 3 setup to be processed.

You need a chain to make Hydrogen Chloride the same as Tier 3. You also need a source of Gravel/Flint/Gunpowder.

  1. Gunpowder + Hydrogen ChlorideChemical Injection Chamber → Sulfur
  2. Sulfur → Chemical OxidizerSulfur Dioxide
  3. Sulfur Dioxide + OxygenChemical InfuserSulfur Trioxide
  4. Water → Rotary CondensentratorWater Vapor
  5. Water Vapor + Sulfur TrioxideChemical InfuserSulfuric Acid
