Example:
- Products: 240
- Inputs: 600 (per product: 2.5 โ products per input: 0.4)
- SAM used: 70 (per product: 0.291667)
- Recipes: 2.5ร(CโRawQ), 2.5ร(RawQโCat), 2ร(CatโBaux)
This means that for every 600/min of Coal(C) and 70/min of SAM, 240/min of bauxite(Baux) is produced,
through an intermediate conversion chain through Raw Quartz (RawQ) and Caterium (Cat).
In this recipe, you have three types of converters:
- A converter making Raw Quartz (RawQ) from Coal (C), i.e. Raw Quartz (Coal) running at 250ย % clock speed.
- A converter making Caterium (Cat) from Raw Quartz (RawQ) i.e. Caterium (Quartz) running at 250ย % clock speed.
- A converter making Bauxite (Baux) from Caterium (Cat), i.e. Bauxite (Caterium) running at 200ย % clock speed.
Instead of one machine at 200ย %, you can of course have e.g. four identical machines at 50ย % each, to have the combined clock speed of 200ย %.
You can also freely scale the recipe, for example divide everything by 2.5 to get 1ร(CโRawQ), 1ร(RawQโCat), 0.8ร(CatโBaux).
Of course, the inputs and products will be likewise scaled then (28 SAM, 240 inputs, 96 outputs).
SAM refers to Reanimated SAM in particular, not raw SAM.
Example:
- Products: 200
- SAM used: 212.5 (per product: 0.941176)
- MW used: 6481.05 (per product: 32.4052)
- Recipes: 2.5ร(FeโS)๐ฎ, 12.5ร(SโLime), 6.25ร(LimeโFe)
This means that for every 212.5/min of SAM, 200/min of Sulfur (S) ยน is produced without any other ingredients.
In installation, you have three types of converters:
- A converter making Sulfur (S) from Iron Ore (Fe), i.e. Sulfur (Iron), running at 250ย % clock speed, with one Somersloop (or 25 converters each running at 10%, each with one Somersloop โ but why would you waste Somersloops like that?).
- A number of converters making Limestone (Lime) from Sulfur (S), i.e. Limestone (Sulfur), running at a combined clock speed 1250ย %. For example, ten converters at 125ย % each, or five at 250ย % each, or twenty-five at 50ย % each.
- A number of converters making Iron Ore (Fe) from Limestone (Lime), i.e. Iron Ore (Limestone), running at a combined clock speed 625ย %.
Because the recipe does not call for inputs, you kickstart the chain by manually
placing enough input material in
one of the converters. The amount that is
enough
depends on your exact design (the more machines you split to, the more you need to kickstart them),
but in this example either 12.5ร20=250 Sulfur, 6.25ร240=1200 Limestone
or 2.5ร300 = 750 Iron Ore would work regardless of the splits.
The output is extracted by placing a Smart Splitter at the output of the desired material,
with Any going back to the loop and Overflow going to products.
MW refers to power usage in megawatts.
The power usage for non-slooped sets of converters is calculated
by assuming that no machine is overclocked over 100%. (E.g. 1250ย % is achieved by running 13 converters, each at 96.1538467ย %).
The exact amount of power is
โแตข ๐แตข ๐ฏแตข (1 + ๐ดแตข/2)ยฒ (๐คแตข / ๐ฏแตข)แต,
where ๐แตขย =ย 250 = average power of converters,
๐ดแตข is the number of Somersloops,
๐คแตข is the target clock level,
๐ฏแตข is the number of machines,
and ๐ฌ = logโ(2.5).
With ๐ย =ย (250, 250, 250), ๐ดย =ย (1, 0, 0), ๐คย =ย (2.5, 12.5, 6.25), and ๐ฏย =ย (1, 13, 7),
this evaluates to 6481.05ย MW, the number given in the example recipe.
SAM refers to Reanimated SAM in particular, not raw SAM.
ยน) You canโt determine the product from this list alone; the product is in the heading above the recipe.
