Ore Processing

Aurastorm edited this page Jan 17, 2023 · 6 revisions
This module runs on a 'local server'.

Features

  • Sorts incoming ores based on configurable filters
  • Segments your oreproc machines into simple, easy to manage sections
  • Supports "extra" processing methods like chemical bathing, sifting, and even smelting
  • Supports processing lines such as indium or platline
  • Outputs aren't set in stone, and the machines attached to them can be changed
  • Allows for easy importing/exporting of filter files
  • Allows searching for and lookup/editing of existing filters
  • Compact and simple (only takes a 2x3x2 block space)
  • Designed for use between the unlock of OpenComputers/NIDAS and the need for endgame levels of oreproc throughput

Setup Guide

What You'll Need

This module doesn't require any extra internal components, but does require some external ones. For a barebones installation without machines, you'll need:

  • A computer with NIDAS installed
  • 2 Transposers
  • 9 Baby Chests
  • Some OC cable The chests don't necessarily need to be baby chests or even 1-slot chests. However, this module will only interact with the first slot of each chest, and baby chests are the simplest to get.

For the machine segments needed for a full implementation of this module, you'll additionally need:

  • The machines themselves (covered later)
  • Item pipes of some sort (GT item pipes, item conduits, item P2P)
  • Stackwise item extraction from the output chests

Physical Setup

Let's get started.

  1. Place down the computer and install NIDAS onto it.
  2. Draw out a line of OC cable and place the 2 Transposers on top of the line.
  3. Place the Baby Chests on every open side of the Transposers.

You should now have something like this:

bare cables, transposers, and chests

The chest in the middle is going to be the system's input, or "working inventory", and you'll likely want to prioritize whatever comes back through.

labeled recycling prioritizer Labels are as such: [1] Conveyor set to export, disable on redstone; [2] Machine Controller Cover set to disable on redstone; [3] Item Detector Cover set to inverted, item threshold 1; [4] Conveyor set to export; Conveyors should preferably be EV.

Don't connect your ore flow to the input chest just yet.
