Chrome Production Calculations
526 total chrome needed
Chrome Ingots from Chrome Dust
1 chrome dust in an IBF takes 40 seconds. For 526 chrome that would take ~5:50h. 4 IBF (one circle around a casing) take 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 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 4734 ruby dust, a stack of centrifuges needs 7:11h. Two stacks need 3:36h, 3 stacks 2:24h, 4 stacks 1:48h, 5 stacks 1:26h.
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 526 chrome, 47.34k redstone are necessary.
Power consumption is 320EU/t per stack of centrifuges.
Suggestion
- 4 IBFs on chrome -> 1:27h, 512EU/t
- 4 electrolyzers -> 0:55h, 200EU/t
- 3 stacks of redstone centrifuges -> 2:24h, 1280EU/t
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
