Triturator · Enthalpy Docs

The Triturator: a heavy machine block with a grinding window in its front

Power use: 20 FE/t per lane
Buffer: 20,000 FE
Lanes: One, more with Manifolds
Upgrades: Kits, modules
ID: enthalpy:triturator

What it does#

The Triturator grinds one item into something more useful. It is the first step of ore processing: an ore becomes two raw metals, a raw metal becomes two dusts, and some recipes drop a bonus byproduct as well. It also grinds fish, turning each into its resource plus Fish Meal, so it is the machine at the end of a fish farm.

A worked example: one Iron Ore goes in and comes out as raw iron. Grind that raw iron again and you get iron dust, which smelts to an ingot in the Resistive Kiln. Which route is best depends on what you have; Ore processing compares them.

Building it#

Crafting Table

Using it#

Put an ore, a raw metal, a dust ingredient or a fish in the input slot. The slot refuses anything with no recipe. The example shows a Triturator with a Manifold fitted, so it grinds three stacks of iron ore at once.

Automation#

Out of the box every face takes items and gives items:

Every face Input & Output (takes items and gives items). Auto-input off, Auto-output off.

Feed it by hopper or pipe into any face and pull from any face. Items are shared across open lanes, emptiest first. Turn on Auto-input or Auto-output to work with neighbouring chests. Side configuration explains faces, modes and redstone control for every machine.

Upgrades#

A tier kit makes the machine faster, enlarges its buffer and opens module slots. Power use below is per lane while it works.

Tier	Kit	Power use	Buffer	Module slots
Base	None	20 FE/t	20,000 FE	0
Tempered	Tempered Upgrade Kit	40 FE/t	40,000 FE	2
Fortified	Fortified Upgrade Kit	60 FE/t	80,000 FE	4
Luminous	Luminous Upgrade Kit	80 FE/t	160,000 FE	6
Harmonic	Harmonic Upgrade Kit	120 FE/t	320,000 FE	8

Celerity Module · up to 8
Economizer Module · up to 8
Manifold Module · up to 2

Three modules matter to a processing machine:

Celerity speeds the work up by 50% each, but every operation costs 50% more energy.
Economizer divides the energy each operation costs and grows the buffer by the same factor, one step per module of 50%. It does not change the speed.
Manifold opens two more lanes each, so the machine works on several items at once. Every extra lane draws its own power.

Four Celerity modules give 3× the speed, at 3× the energy per operation, so the machine draws 9× the power while it works. Four Economizers cut each operation to 33% of its energy at the same speed. With the defaults, equal numbers of Celerity and Economizer modules cancel on cost: you get the speed and pay the original energy per operation.

Good to know#

Its running sound is a low hum. Turn it off with Sounds on the Configuration tab.
If an output slot is full, that lane waits, keeping its progress, until you empty it. Put a pipe on an output face to keep a line moving.
Raw metal, dust and fish are all valid inputs, so one Triturator can sit at the start of several lines.

For pack makers: the settings behind these numbers

Setting	Default	Range	What it does
`machines.energyPerTick`	20	1 to no limit	FE per tick a processing machine spends while working, before upgrades
`machines.energyCapacity`	20,000	1 to no limit	Energy buffer of processing machines before upgrades, in FE
`machines.maxEnergyInput`	1,000	1 to no limit	Maximum FE per tick a processing machine accepts before upgrades
`upgrades.rateMultipliers`	1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 6		Energy rate (and therefore speed) multiplier per tier: base, tempered, fortified, luminous, harmonic
`upgrades.capacityMultipliers`	1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16		Energy buffer and transfer multiplier per tier: base, tempered, fortified, luminous, harmonic
`upgrades.celeritySpeedBonus`	0.5	0 to 100	Extra speed per Celerity module (0.5 = +50%)
`upgrades.celerityCostIncrease`	0.5	0 to 100	Extra energy per operation per Celerity module (0.5 = +50%)
`upgrades.economizerEfficiency`	0.5	0 to 100	Each Economizer module divides energy per operation by (1 + this), and grows the energy buffer by the same factor. With the defaults, equal numbers of Celerity and Economizer modules cancel out exactly.

Recipes are datapack files of the enthalpy:triturator type. Each gives an input, a result, an optional byproduct with a chance, and an energy cost.
