Mekanism 2X Ore Processing Complete Tutorial

Doubling your ores in Mekanism is a straightforward process that can significantly increase your resource efficiency. This guide walks you through the complete setup for 2X ore processing, using the enrichment chamber and energize smelter to transform raw ore into finished ingots while doubling your output.

Setting Up Your Ore Input

Start by placing a chest containing your raw ore. You’ll pull ore from this chest using a logistical transporter. To configure the logistical transporter, shift click it with the configurer tool to adjust its input and output directions based on your setup layout.

Feed your raw ore into the enrichment chamber where the actual ore doubling begins.

The Enrichment Chamber

The enrichment chamber is the first critical step in 2X ore processing. This machine enriches raw ore into dust form. For every one piece of raw iron, the enrichment chamber produces two iron dust.

Configure the enrichment chamber’s side config so that:

Right side = input

Front side = output

This ensures ore enters from the right and processed dust exits from the front.

The Energize Smelter

Next, pull the iron dust from the enrichment chamber into the energize smelter. This machine cooks the dust into finished iron ingots, completing the doubling process.

Configure the energize smelter’s side config so that:

Back side = input

Front side = output

This setup allows dust to flow in from the back and finished ingots to exit from the front.

Collecting Your Output

Finally, pull the finished iron ingots from the energize smelter using another logistical transporter, directing them into your storage chest or container of choice.

Complete 2X Ore Processing Workflow

Here’s the complete sequence for doubling your ores in Mekanism:

Store raw ore in a chest

Pull ore via logistical transporter into the enrichment chamber

Raw ore becomes dust (1 ore → 2 dust)

Pull dust via logistical transporter into the energize smelter

Dust becomes ingots

Pull finished ingots into your output chest

Conclusion

Mekanism’s 2X ore processing is one of the most efficient ways to maximize your ore yield early to mid-game. By chaining the enrichment chamber and energize smelter together with logistical transporters, you can create a fully automated system that doubles your ore output with minimal effort.
