Mekanism (suite)Tiered industrial tech — ore processing, gases, fission, fusion, QIO storage
About
Mekanism is a low-mid-high tier industrial mod. Low tier is Heat Generators, Energy Cubes and the basic Metallurgic Infuser → Steel Casings. Mid tier is the ore-processing ladder (2× → 3× → 4× → 5× ingot multiplier) using Crushers, Enrichment Chambers, Purification Chambers, Chemical Injection Chambers and Chemical Dissolution Chambers, fed by gases like Hydrogen Chloride, Oxygen, and Sulfuric Acid. High tier is Fission and Fusion reactors, the Digital Miner (auto-quarry), QIO drives (single-block storage holding millions of items), Anti-Matter, jetpacks, Meka-Suit power armor, and Mekasuit Modules.
The four jars in this pack form one tightly-integrated suite: Mekanism (machines + materials), Generators (gas-burning, fission, fusion, wind, solar), Tools (paxels, full armor sets) and Additions (balloons, walkie-talkies, baby villager hat).
Things to do
- 5× ore processing — Mekanism's signature chain. Doubling at tier 2 (Enrichment Chamber) → 5× at tier 5 with full gas processing
- Build a Metallurgic Infuser, then Steel Casings, then upgrade machines through Basic/Advanced/Elite/Ultimate factories
- Digital Miner — modular auto-quarry that can filter for specific blocks across huge areas
- QIO Drive Array — direct competitor to AE2 storage; cheaper-feeling tech aesthetic, no channel system
- Fission Reactor + Boiler + Industrial Turbine — top-tier power, requires careful coolant management
- Meka-Suit + Modules — modular power armor; flight, vision modes, jump assist, mining vision
- Quantum Entangloporters — wireless item/energy/gas transfer across dimensions
Getting started
Goal 1: Osmium. Mineable with stone tools, found on OneBlock at stone tier. You need it for almost every machine. Goal 2: build a Heat Generator (3× iron, 2× wood plank, 1× osmium, 2× copper, 1× furnace) — your first power source, runs on coal/lava. Goal 3: Metallurgic Infuser → make Steel Dust → smelt to Steel Ingot → Steel Casings. From there you can build the Energy Cube + the basic ore-processing machines. Plug Heat Generator → Energy Cube → an Enrichment Chamber and you're doubling ores.
