The Ore Acidizer (also referred to as the ''Ore Crystallizer'' or simply the "Crystallizer") is a very useful machine that allows you to dissolve ores into their crystal form, which can then be centrifuged or smelted into their powder or ingot form respectively. It is powered by electricity and uses several types of solvents to dissolve ores.
It is a late-game machine due to the sheer amount of energy this machine consumes. For reference, a quadruple Schrabidium power cell (12 MHE) can give operation to 19-20 items.
Obtention
The acidizer can be made in an Assembly Machine using the ingredients seen in the picture. The use of desh and tier 4 circuits makes it a mid-game machine.
Usage
The Ore Acidizer uses energy (a lot of it) and a fluid ( such as sulfuric acid or hydrogen peroxide) to dissolve ores, which can then be centrifuged for powder or be smelted for ingots. It has 3 slots, the first being where you put your battery (it can also be powered externally), the second being where you put your Hydrogen Peroxide (can also be filled externally with fluid ducts), and the third being where you put your ore (can also be put in externally with hoppers). Every ore produces 1 crystal. the acidizer is also a vital component in the refining of bedrock ores, being needed for purified (sulfuric acid), nitrated (nitric acid) , deep cleaned(solvent), seared (HP solvent, cleaned (hydrogen peroxide),
- Its internal energy buffer can hold 1 MHE of energy.
- Its internal fluid buffer can hold 8000mb of fluid.
- Uses 500mb per item.
- It can dissolve up to 1 ore per run.
- It takes up to 30 seconds to finish.
- Uses up 600KHE per ore.
- This means that it uses 600KHE to dissolve the ore, but it needs a little bit more than that to finish it.
It is best to use the centrifuge with the crystals to get the most out of your crystals.
The ore acidizer is one of the more modern multiblocks which can be properly connected to item and energy ducts in more intuitive ways. The four bottom connectors can be used with both hoppers and other mod's item ducts (even from the bottom) while the two sideways connectors located near the top of the machine serve as the energy and liquid inputs.
Recipes
The acidizer has many recipes, primarily ones yielding crystalline resources:
- Iron Crystals
- Gold Crystals
- Redstone Crystals
- Diamond Crystals (from both diamond ore and diamond gravel)
- Uranium Crystals
- Thorium Crystals
- Plutonium Crystals
- Titanium Crystals
- Sulfur Crystals
- Niter Crystals
- Copper Crystals
- Tungsten Crystals
- Aluminium Crystals
- Fluorite Crystals
- Beryllium Crystals
- Lead Crystals
- Schraranium Crystals
- Schrabidium Crystals
- Rare Earth Crystals
- Phosphorus Crystals
- Lithium Crystals
- Starmetal Crystals
- Trixite Crystals
It also has a few utility recipes which make some resources easier to obtain:
- Obsidian bricks from crushed obsidian
- Gems from their powder counterparts (instead of using the flat stamp in a press) with the exception of quartz
- Fiberglass from sand
- Mercury drops from redstone blocks
- Dense stone from cobblestone
- Leather from rotten flesh
Trivia
- The model has a ladder that actually work
- Internally, the machine is known as the "crystallizer"
- Despite being shaped like an HV power cable, the top connectors accept both energy and acid
- The model was made after this image. We have yet to identify what it actually is.
- It may be just a hopper or a component of a rotary kiln since a similar looking machine can be seen in a lime cement plant in Wyoming.
