 # Chrome Production Calculations
 
-**498 total chrome needed**
+**526 total chrome needed**
 
 ## Chrome Ingots from Chrome Dust
 
-1 chrome dust in an IBF takes 40 seconds. For 498 chrome that would take ~5.5 hours. 4 IBF (one circle around a casing) takes 1:23h.
+1 chrome dust in an IBF takes 40 seconds. For 526 chrome that would take ~5:50h. 4 IBF (one circle around a casing) takes 1:27h.
 
 Power consumption is 128EU/t per IBF.
 
 ## Chrome Dust from Ruby Dust
 
-9 ruby dust make 1 chrome dust in an electrolyzer in 25 seconds. For 498 chrome dust, 4482 ruby dust are necessary. In one electrolyzer, this would take ~3.5h. 4 electrolyzers need 51 minutes.
+9 ruby dust make 1 chrome dust in an electrolyzer in 25 seconds. For 526 chrome dust, 4734 ruby dust are necessary. In one electrolyzer, this would take ~3:39h. 4 electrolyzers need 55 minutes.
 
 Power consumption is 50EU/t per electrolyzer.
 
 ## Ruby Dust from Redstone Dust
 
-10 redstone dust make 1 ruby dust in a centrifuge in 350 seconds. A stack of centrifuges produces 1 ruby dust every 5.47s or 0.183 ruby dust per second. For 4482 ruby dust, a stack of centrifuges needs 6:48h. Two stacks need 3:24h, 3 stacks 2:16h, 4 stacks 1:42h.

 Note that extra rubies will be found by the mining turtles/quarry.
 
-Each stack of centrifuges consumes 1.8 redstone per second or 110 redstone per minute. For the entire 498 chrome, 44.8k redstone are necessary.
+Each stack of centrifuges consumes 1.8 redstone per second or 110 redstone per minute. For the entire 526 chrome, 47.34k redstone are necessary.

 ## Suggestion
 
-- 4 IBFs on chrome -> 1:23h, 512EU/t
+- 4 IBFs on chrome -> 1:27h, 512EU/t
-- 4 electrolyzers -> 0:51h, 200EU/t
+- 4 electrolyzers -> 0:55h, 200EU/t
-- 3 stacks of redstone centrifuges -> 2:16h, 1280EU/t
+- 3 stacks of redstone centrifuges -> 2:24h, 1280EU/t
 
-In 1:23h, the centrifuges would produce 2732 ruby dust, so quarries would need to supplement 1750.
+In 1:27h, the centrifuges would produce 2865 ruby dust, so quarries would need to supplement 1868.
 
 Total power: ~2000EU/t, needs about 10 boilers

+# Iridium Production Calculations
+
+**200 total iridium ingots needed**
+
+## Making Plates
+
+*No iridium is needed in ingot form, everything can be converted to plates!*
+
+50 Plates are needed for the Fusion Reactor. Nothing needed for anything else!
+
+An Implosion Compressor makes 1 plate per second from Iridium Alloy Ingots. That takes a minute for all Iridium Plates needed in the run, using 32EU/t. Basically completely irrelevant other than having to place the machine once.
+
+For 50 Iridium Plates, 400 Industrial TNT are needed.
+
+## Making Iridium Alloy Ingots
+
+Make in a rolling machine using 4 Iridium Ingots, 4 Advanced Alloys and 1 Diamond Dust. Takes 5 seconds per Plate. For 50 Plates that is about 4 minutes. Uses MJ.
+
+## Making Ingots
+
+From Ore: Compress 1 ore to 1 ingot.
+
+From Sheldonite: Grind Sheldonite with mercury cells in the Industrial Grinder. Takes 5s per ore and 128EU/t. Produces 2 Iridium Nuggets and 3 Platinum Dust per ore. Platinum Dust can be centrifuged to Iridium Nuggets 1:1, so in total that is 5/9 Iridium Ingots per Sheldonite Ore. Compress the nuggets into ingots.
+
+From Ferrous Ore: Grind Ferrous with mercury cells in the Industrial Grinder. Takes 5s per ore and 128EU/t. Produces 1 Platinum Dust per ore.
+
+## Centrifuging Platinum Dust
+
+1 Centrifuge takes 1 Platinum Dust (no cells) and makes 1 Iridium Nugget (and 1 tiny pile of Nickel Dust) in 150s using 5EU/t. 
+
+One stack of centrifuges produces 0.427 Iridium Nuggets per second, which is 0.047 Iridium Ingots per second or 2.84 Iridium Ingots per Minute.
