For those who are colorblind, I'll describe fluorite's look the best I can it consists of three colors, light blue, white, and pink the colors are in a gradient in multiple combinations, giving it a bit of a shiny metallic look. The pink is the only color of them that's considered warm the other two colors are cool, but all are much lighter than both osmium and the stone the ore is in. Hope this helps.
I love how you consider as a Rough Overview while this was quite detailed and extensive, perhaps the most detailed version I've seen until now. Even with the small time frame between the release of the update and the video. Thank you for that.
@@hojdoj3567 it is, and yet the disassembler is a better miner and weapon than a maxed out mekatool. The only value of the mekatool is in its misc utility abilities, but for that, it should NOT require the better tool consumed
so v10 added: the big reactor mod, very lite version of AE2/refined storage(hope this part get more stuff like storage bus/autocrafting) quantum suit from IC2 mods and very lite version of Matteroverdrive with the anti matter stuff and convert to other material now give me farming and some kind of block placer/breaker (that is not the lasers) in this mod and Mekanism can really be played without any mods extra for me
@@oblyx also hope for the teleporters/portals to be more customizable like be bigger and dfferent shapes honestly we need that maybe mod comp with immersive portal mod the better portal mod in 1.12 was compatible with it
From what I understand, there is still more to come to version 10. I believe Mekanism Additions for example is still in V9 with plans to be updated to V10 in the future.
Mekanism is officially a mod that can be played completely on it's own and doesn't need anything else to be enjoyable The devs really include everything so you dont need anything else, the only thing mekanism doesnt have is complex autocrafting :D
This update was needed especially the fission reactor because it was so hard to get power before the fusion reactor I am extremely happy that they added it also love your vids oblyx I love your voice it’s quite calm and your videos are very informative
@@tgnuelakes I always just put like 10 to 20 windmills at the top of the world, and quantumed the power down, using ground windmills to bridge until I got them all. Then I'd gun straight for fusion reactor, always quite the jump but windmills produce pretty good power for free
I usually started with windmills and some basic solar power. After that I’ve always loved ethylene gas burning generators which generate a whopping 8k rf/t. All they need is a decent size potato farm and bam, infinite and expandable power until you get something better. In my enigmatica 2 expert pack I believe I had 12 of those things running and that provided pretty much all the power I needed. It also led to the craziest potato farm I ever built involving fertile soil, greenhouse glass, sprinklers, and agricarnations all boosting growth speed. Had to have 4 farmers to keep up with the harvesting.
@@oblyx I am looking forward to that. i just dumped every mekanism mod, JEI and a minimap into a custom instance for myself too, it's gonna be fun for sure.
I really like the fine grained control you get when configuring the Meka-Tool. Turn the vein mining down to 2 and turn on step assist then just hold down the dig button and run straight through the mountain.
Never did understand mod maker's love of exploding reactors. Here is a great and very expensive power gen. You will want it nowhere near your base as it can turn it into a massive hole in the ground and I didn't include anything to load chunks or transfer everything needed between your base and the build site.
Not even sure what you would need the whole pack for. Mekanism has everything now. I'll probably still use ae2 though because of the lack of crafting grid.
The reason Cake cannot be processed by the neutritional paste machine is because it is not considered as a "food" by the game, instead likely just incrementing the player's hunger bar directly.
Not really untill Mek gets its own autocrafting, but these drives are massive and if they Can be hooked up to your AE2 system with Storage Bus it could be a nice addition to it to save on Your ME Drives
For now it's only usable as an "add-on" of ae2 but if it gets autocrafting, item detectors (detectors of items inside the system) and a sort of quantum bridge then it can be usable.
Excellent video, thanks for making it! I dont know why but mekanism has the least amount of information online out of all the mods ive ever used (been playing modded minecraft for 15+ years), so this was awesome to find =)
Very interesting overview - thank you. Some very interesting new blocks. I doubt I want to have an energy source that if I happen to do something wrong it would potentially destroy my whole base; equally I can't really see the advantage of this ultra-late game storage system that misses out on crafting
This mod is doing what others shouldve done. Most mods add a payload to modpacks which is bloating. No need to have 10 ore duplication methods, no need for magic blocks, just 1 mod doing everything right. I know it's all down to preference but be honest, sometimes you see modpacks with 300 mods, and like 20 of them are basically the same content with a different visualization, completely adding bloat to your game, loading times, RAM usage, etc etc etc, it also makes everything buggier, I look at you multiplayer servers. I really like Mekanism, I had to take my time to love it but once you do it's a great mod with it's own atmosphere. Unlike Thermal Expansion with it's easy recipes, magic blocks and no logic behind it. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Dostrazzz. I agree that it's not needed to have Ended IO, Thermal and Mek in one pack. But like you say, it comes down to preference.
@@oblyx Will mekanism have something as fast as ic2 machines? i mean for smelting and regular farming it's great but when it comes to autocrafting i always go with ic2 as it's really fast and responsive. (sorry if it's in the video i currently don't have the time/brain power to watch the "full version")
@@bigzhopel1608 Devs of Mekanism have been working for months on this update. Please appreciate their time, it's really hard to code a good mod and also make it really enjoyable, I see lots of mods basically badly coded, not adding anything new to the game beside a new texture. I am sure they are working on it. AE2 had a lot of bugs in its early stages.
Is this possible to have demo or full version of Mekanism mod, because I don't have some items like 'heat generator' or 'solar' and I don't know why, I downloaded it from official CurseForge page
IDC what anyone says. Mekanism is hands down the best tech mod and only keeps getting better. If they just had a set of pipes similar to ender io id give it a 10. 1.16 has me so hyped to play minecraft though. I dont think ive been ready to try an update as much since 1.10 and that pales in comparison to this
I'm glad UA-cam is creepy af and keeps me posted on a mod I haven't used in months, which I am not mad about in the slightest, this was a fantastic video. Mekanism is one of my favorite mods, although I haven't played with any versions past 1.12.2 (because nobody else updates their mods properly, and I always run a server with friends so I can't get run later versions modded because Mojang doesn't know how to optimize vanilla). It's gotten to the point where I'm probably going to start a "pack", which is just Mekanism and maybe Tinkers or Project Red, but prolly just Mekanism.
Man.. It's been too long since I last played tech mods. Last time was on 1.10 with IC2, EnderIO, Mekanism, ThermalDynamics and all of their sub-mods, and more. It's amazing to see how much has changed, but I can't really run demanding mods anymore, which forced me to stop playing modded minecraft altogether (I would keep crashing after a while due to all of the machines, generators and pipes/cables taking a toll on my laptop, likely due to some kind of hardware issue). But hopefully I'll be able to feel at least some of the enjoyment I used to experience by watching your perhaps upcoming series on the new Mekanism mod, as it's my favorite tech mod too :)
Just adding some random mods to play in 1.16 Forge as they become released and Mekanism is by far the best until now. All the others (Industrial Foregoing, Vampirism) are either incomplete or simply broken, while Mekanism has really added cool features from the video. Made the jetpack, diving suit, disassembler, digital miner and some ultimate machines, now into the fission reactor for the new armor. Still need to see the power capacity of the fission+turbine generator, but as they added a new tier of power generation, I would like to see the gas-burning generator nerfed a bit (or at least the modpacks tweak it manually), because I'm doing the fission only for the nuclear waste, because my potato-powered gas generator can run all my ultimate machines + some from other mods with no problem at all. Overall, nice to see the mod is taking things from Refined Storage, Modular Powersuit, Industrial Foregoing (nutritional paste~meat feeder), IC2 (antimatter~uu-matter), Nuclearcraft, ProjectE and making them its own way instead of a simple copy-paste.
It needs a radiation decontaminator or something like that so when you do mess up you can clean it up or have it slowly decay do you know how to undo the radiation contamination
Ok please someone tell me where I can find a modpack that has this. The idea of not only regular mekanism, but AE2 without all those crazy channels and wires sounds awesome. Would be especially awesome to mix this with AE2 so you can use Mekanism for storage and AE2 for auto-crafting.
I just tried installing this, and my world crashes as soon as it loads to 100%. This is with the newest Forge and Mekanism, both for 1.16.1, no game modifications other than allocating 4g RAM to it, and with nothing but Mekanism in the mod folder. With Optifine, however, it hangs on the 100% loading screen. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
@@oblyx Thanks for the reply. I've looked it up and no-one else seems to have the same problem, so I'll have to just try things out and see if they work.
Oblyx - Getting into Mek 10 - I have a 1-3 ore smelter but im running out of power. I have 2-bio generators. What would be the next step up - turbine or keep mining for the reactors? Also for the evaporation plant, I'm not in a desert so can i use other alternatives to heat the brine up? Thanks in advance..
Did the gas burner generator get nerfed? or did the electrolythic seperator get nerfed? cause my usual power setup is wayyy less effecient and works not as well as first
These QIO drives are massive storage capacity, if they Could be hooked up to AE2 via storage bus it Could save You alot of storage Cells, the whole QIO addition is great but honestly, unless You're playing with only Mek and not any modpack I dont see anyone using it since 99% tech packs have Refined storage or AE2 which are aviable munch earlier and most imporatntly, offer autocrfting. Love the MekSuit, munch better looking and more functional then Modular Powersuits
It will not, at least from the Mekanism team directly. They've started emphatically that they will not back port. But left it open that somebody else could.
What would be the usefulness of using sodium over water for the reactor? Is it more efficient. For an example, my max burn rate is 36mb/t If I switched water out for Sodium would it be more efficient at producing energy? Or is it a thing mostly for bigger reactors with bigger burn rates.
So im confused, using Sodium to cool the fission reactor...then using the boiler to cool down the superheater sodium and the outputting the cooled down sodium BACK into the fission reactor? am i understanding that correctly?
fission heats sodium, sodium used to heat boiler and turn water to steam. steam sent to turbine which cools back to water. sodium once cooled goes back to fission reactor to cool again. like a double loop.
So i noticed in the infuser that you can have diamond in chemical tank to use to infuse with... my question is how do i get the diamond into that state?
Hi Soul. You need to either run it through a crusher first to make diamond dust which will give you one item in the metallurgic infuser, or you can run it through the enrichment chamber which will get you enriched diamond which does 8 items in the metallurgic infuser.
@@oblyx well i meant the chemical tank of diamond. If you watch the input options cycle there a liquid/gas tabk that says can be used and can hold diamond it it
@@oblyx i alrdy have the compressed diamond and it works but look at the infuser next time you play. You know how it cycles through the various inputs? One of them is a tank with diamond in it. It says chemical tank however it cycles to fast for me to fully read it. Im wondering of the update added the ability to liquefy diamond and use it in mass quanties over just 1 compressed per 8
So I just had to pause at 6 minutes to comment. My mind was just blown with excitement. So we can do 5x ore duplication to get our uranium bars and then reverse process like a third of the machines back into yellow cake uranium and fluid and for an obscene amount of this material if I'm understanding it right.

(obviously i'm kidding but it is dipping a toe into each)
Spreading it's wings.
@CaptainCosmic at least it's not 100% centered on becoming an idle game
Also the design and funtion of the fission reactor reminds me a lot of good old Big Reactors
@CaptainCosmic ProjectE? Looks more like IndustrialCraft's UU Matter to me, back when that was an item and not a liquid...
Soon it's gonna be the ultimate tech mod. Oh wait, it already is the ultimate tech mod.
Mekanism is going to be its own mod pack one day...
Haha getting there
Including auto farming and a stort mode
I can not wait for that day to come!
Im kinda sad the new fissile reactor will not be in 1.12.2 can you downgrade the version yourself?

Thanks for explaining what's new in this version. That Meka-Tool looks cool but the Atomic Disassembler will always have a place in my heart.
You and me both. PS it's still a better mining tool.
@@oblyx i think a better idea is the atomic disassembler be used in the crafting recipe
@@hojdoj3567 it is, and yet the disassembler is a better miner and weapon than a maxed out mekatool. The only value of the mekatool is in its misc utility abilities, but for that, it should NOT require the better tool consumed

quantum suit from IC2 mods and very lite version of Matteroverdrive with the anti matter stuff and convert to other material
now give me farming and some kind of block placer/breaker (that is not the lasers) in this mod and Mekanism can really be played without any mods extra for me
I did the lasers personally. But I could go for some industrial farming. Perhaps a multi block with a robo combine our something like that.
@@oblyx also hope for the teleporters/portals to be more customizable like be bigger and dfferent shapes honestly we need that
maybe mod comp with immersive portal mod
the better portal mod in 1.12 was compatible with it
From what I understand, there is still more to come to version 10. I believe Mekanism Additions for example is still in V9 with plans to be updated to V10 in the future.
I think the suit is more like the modular powersuits mod
yeah, but i still don;t think there will ever be a better transport system than Ender IO Conduits. it is king of all logistics

Many modpack restrict development on mekanism in early game. Especially expert pack.

are they going to backpedal v10 to 1.12.2? or are the old versions just forgotten. I would really love to play with this on my friends modded server
No. V10 is only for 1.16. Older MC versions will stay V9 according to the devs.
And Mekanism somehow managed to gain new features I never knew I needed

Overall, nice to see the mod is taking things from Refined Storage, Modular Powersuit, Industrial Foregoing (nutritional paste~meat feeder), IC2 (antimatter~uu-matter), Nuclearcraft, ProjectE and making them its own way instead of a simple copy-paste.

I just tried installing this, and my world crashes as soon as it loads to 100%. This is with the newest Forge and Mekanism, both for 1.16.1, no game modifications other than allocating 4g RAM to it, and with nothing but Mekanism in the mod folder. With Optifine, however, it hangs on the 100% loading screen. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Not really. I've loaded it twice and both without issue. I didn't use optifine so maybe there is a start.
@@oblyx Thanks for the reply. I've looked it up and no-one else seems to have the same problem, so I'll have to just try things out and see if they work.
After looking into the crash log, I updated both Forge and Mekanism and it's going fine so far. I should've checked that first in hindsight
Awesome. Glad you got it working.
here's a question from an outsider if one of the nuclear reactors (in the mod) go bang what happens?
Big hole in ground. If you go into the area unprotected you die.
imagine if they add compat for Create, like a set of motors powered by different things. like one powered with RF/FE, one powered by heat, etc
That could be fun.
Oblyx - Getting into Mek 10 - I have a 1-3 ore smelter but im running out of power. I have 2-bio generators. What would be the next step up - turbine or keep mining for the reactors? Also for the evaporation plant, I'm not in a desert so can i use other alternatives to heat the brine up? Thanks in advance..
Gas burning generators burning ethylene would be next up the list, followed by a fission reactor with a turbine.
@@oblyx TYVM for the quick reply
Can you make nutrient paste from Pam's / Cooking for Blockheads items
Haven't tried. Not even sure if Pam's has been updated to 1.16.1 yet.
My go to tech mod just got a hella lot better. Is the armor as busted as draconic evolution armor?
I'm digging the armor. Seems to be all good.
Did the gas burner generator get nerfed? or did the electrolythic seperator get nerfed? cause my usual power setup is wayyy less effecient and works not as well as first
Use ethylene for power for the generator hydrogen isnt worth it any more as it costs the same to produce as it makes, but ethylene is awesome :).
But did they balance electrolytic separators such that the fully upgraded version does not meet 40kRF/t to avoid an exploit?
Looking for a decent modpack and server files download for Mekanism and other mods. Any suggestions?
superb
Mekanism becoming the new thermal suite?
More
Does a single fusion reactor handle the antimatter thingy?
Yup, can.
@@oblyx thank you so much
No problemo.
this guy can teach me anything with his voice and it would still be interesting.
Hahaha thank you, a fine compliment.
22:15 Mr. Brady just made up for AlgorithmX's lack of development on AE2. Now, we either need build-in support for auto-crafting, or get RFTools
why would you need more than ae2 already provides?
@@sossololpipi9633 1.13 +. Refined storage is getting good though, I've found.
These QIO drives are massive storage capacity, if they Could be hooked up to AE2 via storage bus it Could save You alot of storage Cells, the whole QIO addition is great but honestly, unless You're playing with only Mek and not any modpack I dont see anyone using it since 99% tech packs have Refined storage or AE2 which are aviable munch earlier and most imporatntly, offer autocrfting. Love the MekSuit, munch better looking and more functional then Modular Powersuits
Oh nice they basically added modular powersuits.
Has the anti-radiation stuff from NuclearCraft been made compatible with the new nuclear additions?
If the NC devs are working together with Meks devs I think so, but they aren't. Maybe ask for it on GitHub
Nuclearcraft isn’t even on 1.15 yet 😬
I'm just guessing here but I doubt so early on. No others are on 1.16 at the moment that I'm aware of. Probably down there road.
@@oblyx Ok, we'll just have to wait and see for later then. Still, can't wait to try out the new additions!
Hopefully it comes out for 1.12.2 too!
It will not, at least from the Mekanism team directly. They've started emphatically that they will not back port. But left it open that somebody else could.
Is there a reason to craft the higher tier paxels instead of just making an atomic disassembler? Are they faster? Do more damage to mobs?
They can be enchanted.
So uh what book do you use to build a nuclear reactor
Their isn't a mekanism book. I've got a tutorial on how to build one.
This video needs more views
i don't disagree. :-)
What would be the usefulness of using sodium over water for the reactor? Is it more efficient. For an example, my max burn rate is 36mb/t
If I switched water out for Sodium would it be more efficient at producing energy? Or is it a thing mostly for bigger reactors with bigger burn rates.
You use it with a boiler/turbine setup to potentially produce more power depending on your setup.
mekanism is becoming a one-stop modpack all by itself..
it's getting there.
Every body needs to play this mod
It is good.
So im confused, using Sodium to cool the fission reactor...then using the boiler to cool down the superheater sodium and the outputting the cooled down sodium BACK into the fission reactor? am i understanding that correctly?
fission heats sodium, sodium used to heat boiler and turn water to steam. steam sent to turbine which cools back to water. sodium once cooled goes back to fission reactor to cool again. like a double loop.
simple heat pump mechanccs
can't believe mekanism making these things
It's very cool
anyone know how to store the waste from the fission ractor
I show it in the video several times. The yellow nuclear water drum.

So i noticed in the infuser that you can have diamond in chemical tank to use to infuse with... my question is how do i get the diamond into that state?
Hi Soul. You need to either run it through a crusher first to make diamond dust which will give you one item in the metallurgic infuser, or you can run it through the enrichment chamber which will get you enriched diamond which does 8 items in the metallurgic infuser.
@@oblyx well i meant the chemical tank of diamond. If you watch the input options cycle there a liquid/gas tabk that says can be used and can hold diamond it it
@@oblyx i alrdy have the compressed diamond and it works but look at the infuser next time you play. You know how it cycles through the various inputs? One of them is a tank with diamond in it. It says chemical tank however it cycles to fast for me to fully read it. Im wondering of the update added the ability to liquefy diamond and use it in mass quanties over just 1 compressed per 8
So I just had to pause at 6 minutes to comment. My mind was just blown with excitement. So we can do 5x ore duplication to get our uranium bars and then reverse process like a third of the machines back into yellow cake uranium and fluid and for an obscene amount of this material if I'm understanding it right.
I have the latest version of mekanism and the casing doesn’t show up in my jei
Can anybody help me out with this
Works for me when using the 1.16 pre release version of jei.
The flourite and the osmium are very very similar, but the flourite is just slightly rainbowy
Rainbowy. Is that a word? Careful, you're starting to make up words like me. 😁
this mans voice is absolutely amazing, you could write/read books to kids to put them to bed. its very soothing
Thanks...I think. 😜
about the radiation, will it produce the same radiation as NC?
Since nuclear craft isn't updated to 1.16.1 I couldn't say. You might ask the devs on the Mekanism discord.
@@oblyx it isnt updated yet, they will update it, gonna ask the NC devs
this has wiped the need for AE2 now
Once they get the integrated crafting done which they are working on.
