Codex Processing Industrial Centrifuge

Industrial Centrifuge

The Industrial Centrifuge spins raw metals and loose material apart into what is in them: dust, and the by-products that the Crusher leaves behind. It is a tier II machine with four output slots.

Property	Value
Tier	2
Energy buffer	100,000 E
Max. input	8000 E/t
Input slots	1
Output slots	4
Upgrade slots	3
Recipe type	Centrifuging

The Industrial Centrifuge window: 1 input slots, 2 progress, 3 output slots, 4 upgrade slots, 5 energy and tank bars, 6 value, status and redstone lines, 7 buttons (redstone mode, telemetry, codex).

What it does

Put an item into the input slot and give the centrifuge energy. One run takes the item, uses energy every tick and puts the products into the four output slots. The output slots have no fixed roles: each product goes into whichever slot has room.

Raw metals for every metal

For every metal that the game knows through the c: tags, QNet makes the centrifuge recipe from this template:

In	Out	E/t	Ticks	When
Raw metal	Dust, Dust (25 %), + by-product	150	160	always

"+ by-product" is the by-product of the metal, if its material data names one. Of QNet's own metals, copper gives gold dust with a chance of 10 %. Data packs can give any metal a by-product.

Other recipes

In	Out	E/t	Ticks
Gravel	Sand, Flint (30 %)	150	80

Tip

Chances are not luck An output with a chance comes in a fixed rhythm: 25 % means exactly every fourth run, 30 % three runs out of ten. The machine remembers its count, even when you break it and place it again.

Energy and upgrades

The centrifuge takes energy on every side, from a Pipster cable, a generator next to it or any FE or Team Reborn Energy source. When the buffer holds less than one tick of the current run, the run waits and keeps its progress.

The three upgrade slots at the right edge take one kind each:

Upgrade	Up to	Effect per upgrade
Speed Upgrade	2	half the time, 2.8 times the power
Efficiency Upgrade	3	0.85 times the power
Parallel Upgrade	2	2, then 4 copies per run, 1.25 times the power per doubling on top

Upgrades count from the next run. The buffer and the maximum input grow by the same factor as the power. A parallel run only starts as many copies as the input slot holds and the outputs have room for, counting every chance output as if it came.

Automation

• Pipes, hoppers and other mods can put items into the input slot from every side, but only items the centrifuge has a recipe for.
• Upgrades can be inserted the same way; each slot takes only its own upgrade.
• Items can only be taken out of the four output slots.
• When the outputs are full, the finished run waits until there is room.

Redstone

The R button in the top right corner switches the redstone mode: always runs, runs with a signal, or runs without a signal.

What the status line says

Status	Meaning
Idle – waiting for inputs	No recipe fits the input (or the input is empty).
Running	A run is in progress.
Waiting for energy	The buffer is too low; the progress is kept.
Output full – take the products out	The products of the finished run do not fit.
Paused by redstone	The redstone mode stops the machine. A Grid Monitor that pauses machines shows the same text.

Building it

The centrifuge needs a Machine Frame, two Servo Motors and two Basic Circuits, with steel plates. Servo motors and circuits come from the Assembler; the circuits need silicon wafers and polymer sheets, so the centrifuge comes after the Chemical Reactor and the Crystallizer.

When you break it, it keeps its energy and its redstone mode; items, upgrades and the item of a running job drop.

In the world

While it runs, the drum spins fast and the item turns above it on the top. A quiet rattle sounds every second, and the machine gives off a little light.

Note

Not the Centrifuge Cascade This machine separates items. Uranium is enriched by the Centrifuge Cascade, a plant of the energy area.
