Deucexm: Something to cover the processing chain for all relevant metals

Something to cover the processing chain for all relevant metals

New page

'''Ore processing''' in IC2 is a multi-stage process, requiring several machines in order to get the maximum possible yield from each individual ore.

== Processing chain ==

The best ore yield comes from a three-stage process. The first stage is a necessity; the second or third may optionally be skipped, but will reduce yield.
* Stage 1: [[Macerator]] [[File:Grid Macerator.png|32px|link=Macerator]]
* Stage 2: [[Ore Washing Plant]] [[File:Grid Ore Washing Plant.png|32px|link=Ore Washing Plant]]
* Stage 3: [[Thermal Centrifuge]] [[File:Grid Thermal Centrifuge.png|32px|link=Thermal Centrifuge]]
=== Stage 1 ===
A [[Macerator]] processes ore - iron, gold, copper, tin, lead, and uranium - into 2x crushed ore of the corresponding type.

It '''does not process''' (as of 2.6.107) ores for coal, lapis, diamond, redstone, emerald, or nether quartz.
{{Grid/Machine
|Type=Macerator
|Top=Iron Ore
|Output=Crushed Iron Ore}}
Crushed ore can be smelted into ingots (except for uranium).

=== Stage 2 ===
An [[Ore Washing Plant]] processes crushed ore into purified crushed ore (using 1000 mB of water in addition to [[EU]]), with tiny ore dust and [[Stone Dust]] as byproducts.
{{Grid/Ore Washing Plant
|Top=Water Bucket
|Bottom=Bucket
|Water=1000
|Input=Crushed Iron Ore
|Output1=Purified Crushed Iron Ore
|Output2=Tiny Pile of Iron Dust
|OA2=2
|Output3=Stone Dust}}
Purified crushed ore can also be smelted into ingots (again, except for uranium).

=== Stage 3 ===
A [[Thermal Centrifuge]] processes purified crushed ore into dust (except for uranium yet again), with another secondary product.
{{Grid/Centrifuge
|Top=Purified Crushed Iron Ore
|Output1=Tiny Pile of Gold Dust
|Output2=Iron Dust
|}}
Dust is the final pre-smelting state and requires no further processing, though it may have other uses (creating alloys like [[Bronze]] for example).

== Processed forms ==
The table below shows the appearance of the main products of each ore at each stage of processing (uranium being a special case). Note that '''silver ore is not generated by IC2'''; however, any properly defined <code>oreSilver</code> can ''probably'' be macerated into crushed silver ore and processed accordingly. (If it can't, perhaps you should let a dev know. Politely.)

== Specific yields ==
Ore washing (stage 2) may be skipped, in which case the centrifuge (stage 3) will also yield [[Stone Dust]] in addition to its usual products (which the ore washer would normally have produced). However, the tiny ore dusts from stage 2 will be lost in doing so.
* For lead ore, both sulfur and copper (stages 2 and 3) will be lost.
* Likewise, for silver ore (if generated by another mod), both silver and lead (stages 2 and 3, not the main silver) will be lost.
* For uranium ore, not only will the lead be lost, but both U238 and U235 yields will be reduced by 2 per ore (8 and 2 instead of 10 and 4).

Ore washing is therefore ''highly recommended''.
