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