Set Up Mekanism Automation for Efficient Crafting

Understanding Mekanism Machines

Mekanism provides industrial-scale crafting and ore processing. These machines automate repetitive tasks, letting you produce better armor, weapons, and tools without manual crafting.

Gather starter materials. Collect copper, tin, and basic ores from city streets and underground. These power early Mekanism machines.

Place your first machine. Start with an ore processor or enrichment chamber. These convert raw ores into refined materials more efficiently than furnaces.

Building Your Production Line

Connect machines with pipes. Use Mekanism's transport pipes to move items between machines automatically.

Add power generation. Mekanism machines require energy. Set up a generator or solar panel to keep production running.

Expand gradually. Add more specialized machines as you gather resources—crushers for ore dust, smelters for ingots, and crafters for complex recipes.

Automate ore processing. Route mined ores directly into your processing line. Output refined materials into storage chests.

Start small with one or two machines, then expand as you understand the system. Automation saves enormous amounts of time compared to manual crafting, especially when preparing for dangerous expeditions into infected zones.
