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

Speed Upgrade
Energy Upgrade
Gas Upgrade
Muffling Upgrade
Filter Upgrade
Anchor 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.

Speed Upgrade

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.

The Muffling Upgrade reduces noise from Mekanism machinery. This upgrade works well with the Precision Sawmill and the Nutritional Liquifier, as they produce a lot of noise when active.
