I'd like feedback on a Mekanism production method I'm working on that combines fissile fuel production and 5x ore processing in a single system, separated into 4 distinct areas, aligned on a single plane.

The goal is to optimize management of T4 ore processing and fissile fuel production by adhering to the following rules:

  • Except for storage, the entire system must be restricted to two single-block planes: an energy plane, and a plane of production. All machines and their connectors must stay inside the plane of production unless receiving input from or outputting to storage. Energy input (ie. universal cable, fluxducts) must stay within the energy plane, and cannot intersect the plane of production.

  • Minimize: the number of points where any substance or item enters or exits the plane of production, the number of machines needed to perform a task, and the number of outputs from one wall to the next.

  • If an item or substance produced in one stage of production is needed in a later stage of production, it must have an uninterrupted path to its destination along the plane of production.

The idea for everything to occupy either 4 walls within a single-chunk room. Each wall has a dedicated task, with specific inputs and outputs:

  • Wall 1: accepts water and brine, outputs sodium and hydrogen to storage, outputs oxygen and hydrogen chloride to Wall 2.

  • Wall 2: accepts input from Wall 1, and water and gunpowder from storage. Outputs oxygen, water, sulfuric acid, and HCL to Wall 3.

  • Wall 3: accepts input from Wall 2, and ores, fluorite, and uranium ingots from storage. Outputs fissile fuel to storage, and oxygen, clean slurry, and HCL to Wall 4.

  • Wall 4: accepts input from Wall 3, outputs ingots to storage.

Simple enough stuff, I think, but the nut I can't crack is an arrangement that would allow a single water input. Either I trap water within the sulfuric acid production loop, or I trap oxygen within the HCL production loop. Any ideas?

  1. I really like this design. Its commonly used in gtnh maby it can help as inspiration
