so i blew up my base because i didnt pay attention to what you said about needing this to store the power. i built this this morning and walla no explosions. wanted to say i watch almost all your series. you are my go to on mods you deserve way more viewers. thanks man
damn... so many years later and i came back to those vids to play some mekanism V10.1 i was looking up the industrial turbine just a minute ago, and now i'm checking if i remember right how the big battery works. personally, my preferred setup for an induction matrix is a 4*4*4 total size for a total of 8 inside blocks. you can just slowly add 4 induction cells and 4 induction providers then merge them as you need to upgrade to higher tier, it's very comfortable for progression.
TBH, energy tablets and induction matrix parts are a really good chance to show off Mekanism's crafting automation. Crafting these things by hand gets completely obnoxious. The designers could have made tablets stackable (when uncharged), but I think they chose not to do that in order to push players toward auto-crafting. It seems like there are many artificial limitations like that in the mod.
That is very true! We should definitely make an episode on automation specifically for crafting the tablets as we will need a TON more to scale up the induction matrix down the road.
I craft my energy tablets in batches of 100 in the Formulaic Assemblicator. A lot of modpacks have Iron Chests, and a diamond chest holds 108 stacks, which is perfect for transporting tablets around with a cardboard box for even more Formulaic Assemblicators to use as input for induction components. Each batch is 400 redstone dust (6 stacks+16), 300 gold ingots (4 stacks+44), and 200 alloy (3 stacks+8).
Funny Mekanism gimmick: Connecting cables together adds their transfer speed together. An entire basic cable setup can transfer massive amounts of power because of the sum of the network's speed. Adding an ultimate cable somewhere will act as an increase for the entire network.
A redstone circuit that protects the fission reactor can also be attached to the induction matrix. (as long as the turbine is running and can output electricity, the reactor is safe) I solved this for myself by reading the signal on the port. (port to redstone comparator) When the induction matrix is full, a cable to a resistive heater is activated. The maximum value is entered there. With a second output you can also realize a comparison signal. I managed to get that the inducton cell discharges until it is at 90%. Then the circuit doesn't always go on and off. Next I install an alarm that shows me when the induction matrix is 90% full.
I had a reactor blow up cause I filled up an induction matrix, then I had a larger one blow up cause the output of my turbine was larger than the input. The reactor is just too good
you need 2 thermal evaporation plants, use the configurator to pull the brine out of the first one into a second. then the second will turn the brine into liquid lithium. after that take the liquid lithium out with the configurator again into a rotary decondensator which then becomes lithium, and send that lithium into a chemical crystallizer for lithium dust
So k learned this the hard way MAKE ONE OF THESE i was like I’m fine I don’t need to store power when your turbine maxs out on power your reactor will explode
Im far more surprised than you. Out of all the minecraft mod reviewers i've watched in the last 4 years, this channel has to be the best. Really underrated if you ask me

not really, just set up a digi miner for coal and iron, let it run for a few hours set up a semi-auto steel factory with 3 bins, on full of coal, outputting to an enricher, which outputs to two infusers (using mechanical pipe), one of which has iron input from another bin, then outputs to the other, which outputs to a smelter, which outputs to another bin all you need to do is fill the coal and iron and hey presto! tons of steel
Haha I’ve been very lucky to not run into many creepers this series, but I tend to sleep whenever it’s night as I use solar panels for the early game power and now the thermal evaporation plants. Those suckers are usually heatseeking missiles!
Does a mekanism reactor seriously explode if the turbine can't output power? That would be such a weird mechanic. The coolant stuff makes perfect sense but exploding because the turbine isn't outputting power makes no sense.
it does make sense because if the turbine is can't put out power, it doesnt run anymore. Therefore not producing water to cool the reactor. The reactor slowly runs out of coolant, starts getting damage when there is no left and explodes at 100% damage.
@@Pandasocke that's not at all the way real power generstion works. A nuclear power plant doesn't melt down if there's not enough power demand from the grid.
@@bubba99009 that's because the coolant is only coming from the Turbine. Not the case in reality. Also my point was that the mechanic in itself makes sense, not that it's just like in real life.
@@Pandasocke it's a closed loop system in real life. The coolant in the primary loop is contaminated and can't just be supplimented and discharged to the environment as steam or liquid. I can see why they do the battery full = coolant disappears from a game play mechanic to get people with much more frequent meltdowns but yea doesn't really make sense that it works that way.
Just a note: The induction Matrix can use structural glass on the faces as well.
Ah you're right! Great catch, thats a nice way to make the build a lot nicer looking instead of just having a gray cube.

Feeling bad for you, was crafting my parts using my ME system and made those non-stacking item crafts much much easier
Really like the series, but the crafting is brutal to watch after you're used to ME or RS.

Love the video bookmarks! very useful
Glad they are useful! They should be included in all videos from here on out.
From watching this and your last video back-to-back, the mic change is noticeably better.

great video and tutorial, simple, quick to the point, 10/10. Thanks!
You can press 'R' on the energy cube while pointing at them in the inventory for their recipe
I had a reactor blow up cause I filled up an induction matrix, then I had a larger one blow up cause the output of my turbine was larger than the input. The reactor is just too good
LOVE THE VIDEOS SO MUCH
The first one to say Great vid😀
Thanks! :)
What would you even use all this power for? Machines, even when fully upgraded and advanced, only eats so much!
Antimatter production :) it will suck up more power and nuclear waste than you can make haha.
@@RagePlaysGames ....... Yeah, that'd do it.
i have no clue how to get the liquid lithium one to work...
you need 2 thermal evaporation plants, use the configurator to pull the brine out of the first one into a second. then the second will turn the brine into liquid lithium.
after that take the liquid lithium out with the configurator again into a rotary decondensator which then becomes lithium, and send that lithium into a chemical crystallizer for lithium dust
click the toggle operation on the rotary condensator to make it a rotary deconsenator
consentrator*
just to make sure, you output the power this setup creates from the power storage?
yea, power from the induction thingy gets stored until power is being used from your machines if that makes sense
what i did to power the crystallizer is run the power cable from the ethaline to the crystallizer
So k learned this the hard way MAKE ONE OF THESE i was like I’m fine I don’t need to store power when your turbine maxs out on power your reactor will explode
how to increase the matrix cell input???
Ah yes, annoying to craft, I wouldn't know. I just use my ME system and made auto crafters to do it for me
Are you gonna make quantum item orchestration and supercritical phase shifter later in the series? Also you could have Nuclearcraft for next series.
Yep, we will be covering all of that in the coming episodes :) lots of stuff we still have to get to!
Idk why you have only 26,6 subscribes.
Honestly I’m amazed I even have that many people that at one time or another wanted to watch me play video games and ramble haha

good Lord dude, you so badly need refined storage for these videos..
LOL
Don't worry, mekanism has a storage system later. It's called the QIO
U never showed us how to get the littium into the thermal plant?
He mentioned it in the video for brine. You put brine into another thermal evaporator.
@@blakeholte4602 I tried. For some reason a basic mechanical pipe can't transfer brine into another thermal evaporation plant.
We can use fluid tanks to transfer brine
@@enderblueminecraft5578 use the configurator to pull it out of the thermal plant, same as the water
