Platline: Difference between revisions

Line 525:

If your budget allows for it, you can use the GT++ Industrial Mixing Machine for the mixing steps, though a HV-tier single-block mixer will suffice for a while.

While it may be tempting to use singleblocks or do multiple recipes in one multi to save on materials, the demands of the platline only grow as you progress. It is recommended to use individual multis for everything (with some exceptions, e.g. aqua regia mixer as noted above). Using primarily multiblocks allows for easy scaling by swapping out energy hatches as necessary.

For players with access to Platinum Ore & Sheldonite Ore (T3 Rocket or Far End Asteroids), processing of these ores to yield Platinum Metallic Powder Dust is '''the superior starting input''' for the platline, even over the purified platinum-bearing ores. Sheldonite obtained in this fashion can be processed in two ways: it can be centrifuged to yield both Platinum Metallic Powder Dust as well as Palladium Metallic Powder Dust, alongside nickel and sulfur, or it can be directly smelted for twice as much Platinum Metallic Powder Dust. The suggested way is smelting as the ratio between Sheldonite Dust and Platinum Metallic Powder Dust is 1:2, rather than the 1:1 offered by centrifuging it.
