Factorization mod: ore processing
Here's a new video overview of the ore processing machines from the Factorization mod.
I run through these machines in order ...
Grinder: quick & easy to use, just takes a few beats to warm up
Mixer: a bit of a pain, shuffling water buckets in and out constantly. I can't picture any simple way to automate this. With the RedPower mod you could have a Deployer fill the buckets, but you'd still have to sort the output into metal/bucket/sludge with a diamond pipe. This step just feels like WORK.
Slag Furnace: quick & simple. Always cook your silver ore in one of these, since you get silver AND lead for each ingot. Some of its other recipes look quite productive.
Crystallizer: folks complain about how slow this is, about 20 minutes per cycle. But with six slots to play with it looks like you can fill the slots to get multiple items (one per slot) processed per cycle. For fun, after running my metals through all the steps (10 iron ore -> 25 cystallized iron) I show how to make slimeballs from milk and lime dye.
The crystallized metals can be cooked in any furnace to get metal ingots.
