guide

This guide explores machines for advanced chemical reactions and fluid manipulation. These machines are crucial for producing various industrial chemicals and refining raw materials.

Chemical Reactor

The Chemical Reactor is a versatile machine with 91 known recipes, facilitating complex chemical transformations. It processes both solid items and fluids to create new products. Many recipes involve fluid inputs and outputs, requiring careful management of fluid transportation.

Examples of its diverse operations include:

Combining 400 millibuckets (mb) of modern_industrialization:propene with 600 mb of modern_industrialization:oxygen to yield 400 Acrylic Acid. This reaction consumes 10 EU/t over 240 ticks.
Producing 700 Acrylic Glue from Chromium Tiny Dust and 500 mb of modern_industrialization:acrylic_acid, at a rate of 12 EU/t for 700 ticks.
An alternative for Acrylic Glue involves 4 Lead Tiny Dust and 500 mb of modern_industrialization:acrylic_acid, producing 300 units at 12 EU/t over 700 ticks.
Creating 4 Amethyst Shard from 4 Quartz Dust, Iron Tiny Dust, 250 mb of minecraft:water, and 500 mb of modern_industrialization:sodium_hydroxide. This takes 4 EU/t for 400 ticks.
Refining 1000 mb of modern_industrialization:raw_biodiesel with 1000 mb of modern_industrialization:steam to produce 700 Biodiesel, consuming 16 EU/t over 200 ticks.
The reactor can also duplicate coral blocks. For instance, a Brain Coral Block combined with 4 Bone Meal, 4 Salt Dust, and 9000 mb of minecraft:water yields 2 Brain Coral Block, requiring 2 EU/t for 6000 ticks. Similar recipes exist for Bubble Coral Block, Fire Coral Block, and Horn Coral Block.
Aluminum Tiny Dust and 750 mb of modern_industrialization:ethanol produce 375 Butadiene at 16 EU/t for 300 ticks.
4 Nickel Tiny Dust, 500 mb of modern_industrialization:benzene, and 750 mb of modern_industrialization:hydrogen are processed into 600 Caprolactam, using 16 EU/t over 300 ticks.
9000 mb of modern_industrialization:hydrochloric_acid can be created from 1000 mb of modern_industrialization:hydrogen and 1000 mb of modern_industrialization:chlorine, consuming 8 EU/t over 100 ticks.
Oxidizing Block of Copper with 100 mb of modern_industrialization:oxygen produces Exposed Copper at 8 EU/t for 100 ticks. This process also applies to Cut Copper, Cut Copper Slab, and Cut Copper Stairs.

Distillation Tower

The Distillation Tower specializes in separating fluids into different components. It has 5 known recipes.

1000 mb of modern_industrialization:shale_oil can be distilled to produce 50 Helium, consuming 30 EU/t over 200 ticks.
1000 mb of modern_industrialization:steam_cracked_heavy_fuel yields 500 Light Fuel, requiring 80 EU/t for 200 ticks.
Processing 1000 mb of modern_industrialization:steam_cracked_light_fuel produces 200 Methane at 125 EU/t over 200 ticks.
1000 mb of modern_industrialization:steam_cracked_naphtha also yields 150 Methane, using 120 EU/t for 200 ticks.
1000 mb of modern_industrialization:crude_oil can be separated into 500 Sulfuric Light Fuel, consuming 36 EU/t over 200 ticks.

Distillery

The Distillery also processes fluids, with a total of 24 known recipes. It often produces various chemical intermediates.

1000 mb of modern_industrialization:steam_cracked_light_fuel can be distilled into 100 Acetylene, requiring 25 EU/t for 200 ticks.
1000 mb of modern_industrialization:steam_cracked_naphtha produces 50 Acetylene at 15 EU/t over 200 ticks.
Benzene can be obtained from various steam-cracked fuels; for example, 1000 mb of modern_industrialization:steam_cracked_heavy_fuel yields 150 Benzene at 20 EU/t for 200 ticks.
Producing 10 Ethanol from 1000 mb of modern_industrialization:sugar_solution consumes 8 EU/t over 800 ticks.
1000 mb of modern_industrialization:shale_oil can be distilled into 50 Helium at 10 EU/t over 200 ticks, or 450 Sulfuric Crude Oil at the same energy and time.
Crude Oil can be processed into 200 Sulfuric Heavy Fuel, 500 Sulfuric Light Fuel, or 300 Sulfuric Naphtha, each requiring 12 EU/t for 200 ticks.

Electrolyzer

The Electrolyzer processes solid materials to separate them into their constituent elements or simpler compounds using electrical energy. It has 12 known recipes.

10 Bauxite Dust can be broken down into 4 Aluminum Dust, consuming 32 EU/t over 1200 ticks.
18 Lapis Lazuli Dust yields 3 Aluminum Dust at 32 EU/t over 2400 ticks.
23 Emerald Dust can be processed into 3 Beryllium Dust, requiring 32 EU/t for 400 ticks.
