Energy upgrades in the separator are only useful if you want it to have more battery. Mekansim follows the laws of thermodynamics, and making the hydrogen cheaper would make that a power positive reaction and would break that.

[@ethancatherman2822]

get the processing add-on also. It makes the machine do multiple operations each cycle. like harvesting 3 plants at once. or planting more than 1 seed at a time

[@Dbubbles96]

You could also try the hydroponic beds from industrial foregoing to handle his uranium seed/essence problem. would just involve a quicky ether gas set up. but they work WONDERFULLY. and can easily be set up with Xnet.

[@pantheis]

I tried these on my server, and mind you they didn't have the ether gas available at the time, but it caused me to lose seeds. They don't seem to always return a seed when harvested by the harvester, causing you to eventually run out of seeds of whatever you've planted. Maybe it's different with the ether gas setup. I do have ether now, but I've noticed it is incredibly slow production, not sure if I'm going to need multiple wither setups to keep up.

[@Dbubbles96]

@@pantheis I haven't noticed any issues thus far. I used 25 of them for strictly inferium and have no loss thus far. I built it inside of a compact machine and chunk loaded it. I do have ether gas and has kept up just fine if you have all the upgrades in the laser drills. Each bed only holds 10mb ether gas at a time. Maybe the loss is server side since I am in single player?

[@pantheis]

@@Dbubbles96 I've got my setup also inside a compact machine and chunk loaded. Each hydroponic machine has tier 2 speed, production, and efficiency upgrades, as does the plant sowers and gatherers. With this setup, I eventually run out of whatever seed they're planting. I ended up replacing all of them with hopper botany pots as I didn't have ether gas yet. I'll try them again since I have ether gas now.

A quick tip which i found really helpful: The Mekasuit with the oxygen unit counts as having a full scuba suit. Meaning you don't have to worry about mining fatigue and slowness anymore while swimming. Additionally you are pretty much invincible (fought a chaos dragon without losing any health using a full Mekasuit + Draconic chestplate for flight)

[@taniabaildon9696]

Hi Dire! Two things - In our game we turn the Blursed Earth spawner on and off by breaking one block at the center base of one wall and pouring a bucket of water in. Mobs won't spawn if the Blursed Earth is covered in water, and water doesn't destroy it. Then just take the water back with a bucket to turn it back on. Ours is a little smaller, so not sure you can turn yours off with just one bucket from a wall, but thought I would mention it. Also, instead of voiding the seeds from your Mystical Agriculture you might want to look at sending them to a Seed Reprocessor. It will turn each seed into its essence instead. Thanks for the playthrough! We (my husband and I) are loving it and using some of the ideas in our world. :)

[@blake36Nebula]

Could put a big enough tank on the incoming line being first, and having it export to the barrels, when the line back fills the tank fills. And you could read off just that one tank, with the storage size giving you time.

[@eamonnart]

If the waste barrels are relatively even, you can just take a fullness reading off of one, you don't need to take an aggregate reading! No idea how Mekanism balances between barrels if more are added the network, but it's something to think about

For the waste system, you could use integrated dynamics to measure the amount in a pipe at some point in the line. Wont really give you a percent full, but would give you a warning system

[@ethancatherman2822]

Also every Mekanism machine can use all 8 energy upgrades. They reduce the power cost even when there is not a matching number of speed upgrades.

[@llearch]

Except for one thing. The electrolytic separator will happily accept the energy upgrades, but they have zero effect on power used, so I think they only increase the energy buffer. :-(

[@militialpickle9304]

Dire, you can still make your ethylene production better so that it never stops like that. I believe I stated in your last video that if you turned the potatoes into baked potatoes before crushing them, you get 7 biofuel instead of 5, making it an almost 20% increase in production of ethylene and you actually backstuff on potatoes. Also Dire, the top tier farmland is not supremium, it's insanium- the purple essence, not the red essence.

[@Arturius_Rex_8]

A question for that would be does the RF required to bake the potato equal (or exceed) the increased output?

I would love to finally after ages see a reactor computer again. I have the feeling Direwolf just... Quickly techs up, and then ends the series. Unlike in the old times where we got looooots of creative and fun contraptions. We got mining turtles, and red power mining drills, and computers, and complex reactor systems. Do I remember right about the IC2 electric fence mob killer? But nowadays dire is just teching up "like always" and... That's it. Yeah some minor adjustments, different ways to do mob farm, switch between AE and RS, some new mods. But overall it feels like quick progression and that's it. Get automated mining, get mob farm, get more energy, get good armor, the end. I remember years back when youtubers would still keep playing their world for years, even though new minecraft version was out, and even though they could already have everything they need. I remember computerized tree houses, reactor complexes, dedicated bases for oil and other resources and transport systems. Today its just tech up and repeat.

[@DedmenMiller]

There were times where like 6 or more episodes were spent on building a reactor, making it look nice, build the computer systems and infrastructure for automated refilling and shutdown and monitoring and only enabling on demand. Today its just a means to an end, plop down a platform, build a reactor on top to get power, 2 episodes and done, onto the next task in order to progress further. But also things just became easier, no need to disable reactor when fuel is unlimited and excess energy is voided and energy storage is basically infinite anyway, reactor refueling is just simply pumping in a fluid, the reactor itself emits the signal that shuts it down if something goes wrong.

[@The_True_one]

Concerns: Yes, your flux plug connected to the energy trash can would not be able to handle the amount of power that you are generating, once you fill the battery KABOOM!!! Double your potato output. Tick accelerating is fun, but won't solve the long term problem, and 1 hopper pot and some dirt is cheap.

[@permeus2nd]

So Elevators look like they have a new feature (I haven’t tested it as I don’t have the need and I’m kinda lazy) not only can they go up and down but it looks like they can do a wonkavator (well nearly) it looks like they can also move you in the Cardinal directions too.

[@tomarnd8724]

If you were able to measure the amount of waste in the barrel farthest away on the pipe line with a comparator for instance that would give you a redstone signal to shut the reactor down once the barrels are full

It's labeled as a gas and will not void due to the mod author explicitly coding it that way. They made absolutely sure that you NEED the hazmat barrels in order to void them, which if I remember correctly is set at an interval of 1mB/second/barrel. Meaning, if you had multiple barrels like Dire has, that 1mB per second is more like 12mBs per second (for 12 barrels).

The mod author made absolutely sure that the ONLY way you can get rid of the spent nuclear waste is to store it in those barrels and slowly let it dissipate- which it does do. You would just need to find the ratio for how much the barrels dissipate per tick vice how much nuclear waste you are making per tick to make it efficient enough for your use. I seem to remember the ratio being at 100:1 for barrels to buckets produced, but it's been a bit since I've looked at the code myself.
