Mekanism HDPE Pellet Tutorial: Easy to Follow Guide

In this guide, we’ll walk you through creating HDPE pellets in the Mekanism mod for Minecraft. Don’t let the complexity intimidate you—we’ll break this down into simple, color-coded steps that are beginner-friendly and easy to understand.

Understanding the System Overview

The HDPE pellet production system uses a color-coded input and output approach to keep things organized. Here’s what you need to know:

Red: The final product (HDPE pellets)

Green root: Supplies oxygen

Yellow root: Handles gas byproducts

Blue root: Provides hydrogen and substrate

The main production happens in a Pressurized Reaction Chamber (PRC), where all inputs combine to create your HDPE pellets.

Green Root: Oxygen Production

The green root handles oxygen generation, which is one of the key inputs for your final PRC.

Here’s the process:

Use an Electric Pump to pump water out of a water source

Feed the water into an Electrolytic Separator

The separator breaks water down into hydrogen and oxygen

Extract the oxygen and send it into your final Pressurized Reaction Chamber

You can discard or store the excess hydrogen produced

Blue Root: Hydrogen and Substrate Production

The blue root is more complex, as it creates substrate—a critical ingredient for your final HDPE pellets. This root also produces E-Feline as a byproduct.

Water and Hydrogen Processing

Similar to the green root, the blue root starts with water:

Pump water into a second Electrolytic Separator

This time, extract the hydrogen (discard the oxygen)

Send the hydrogen into a secondary Pressurized Reaction Chamber

Biofuel Creation and Substrate

The secondary PRC combines hydrogen, water, and biofuel to create substrate:

Create biofuel by crushing organic material (such as melon slices) in a Crusher

Use a Logistical Transporter to move crushed material into the crusher

Feed the biofuel, hydrogen, and water into your secondary PRC

This produces substrate, which flows to your final PRC

Handling E-Feline Byproduct

When you combine hydrogen, water, and biofuel in the secondary PRC, you’ll get E-Feline gas as a byproduct. Don’t waste this—convert it:

Extract E-Feline gas using gas pipes from the secondary PRC

Feed it into a Rotary Condensentrator

This device converts gas into liquid form

Transport the liquid E-Feline (using mechanical pipes) to your final PRC

Yellow Root: E-Feline Gas Processing

The yellow root specifically handles the conversion of E-Feline gas to liquid. As mentioned above, use gas pipes to extract the E-Feline byproduct from your secondary PRC and feed it into a Rotary Condensentrator. The resulting liquid E-Feline then goes to your final PRC.

Final Assembly: Creating HDPE Pellets

Now that you have all three inputs ready, combine them in your final Pressurized Reaction Chamber:

Oxygen from the green root

Substrate from the blue root’s secondary PRC

Liquid E-Feline from the yellow root (converted via Rotary Condensentrator)

These three components come together in your final PRC to produce HDPE pellets.

Complete Process Recap

Here’s a quick summary of the entire HDPE pellet production system:

Green Root: Pump water → Electrolytic Separator → Extract oxygen → Send to final PRC

Blue Root Part 1: Pump water → Electrolytic Separator → Extract hydrogen → Send to secondary PRC

Blue Root Part 2: Crush organic material (melon slices) into biofuel → Combine with hydrogen and water in secondary PRC → Create substrate and E-Feline byproduct

Yellow Root: Extract E-Feline gas → Rotary Condensentrator → Convert to liquid → Send to final PRC

Final Assembly: Combine oxygen, substrate, and liquid E-Feline in final PRC → Produce HDPE pellets

Conclusion

While HDPE pellet production in Mekanism might seem complex at first, breaking it down into three color-coded roots makes the process manageable and logical. By following this step-by-step guide, you’ll have a functioning HDPE pellet production system that supplies this valuable material for advanced Mekanism machinery.
