Redstone Waste Routing Control

In order to produce plutonium, polonium, and antimatter pellets, 4 'valves' are required. Note that the term 'valves' in this project, excluding multiblock valves, refers to redstone sensitive pressurized tubes and mechanical pipes. Those can be made redstone sensitive by right-clicking them with a Mekanism Configurator.

The redstone outputs used for waste routing are as follows: WASTE_PU (waste plutonium pellets), WASTE_PO (waste polonium), WASTE_AM (waste anti-matter pellets), WASTE_POPL (waste polonium pellets).

Setup and Operation

Valve Requirements

  • If you have plutonium pellet production, you always need a WASTE_PU valve
  • Additionally, if you have polonium pellet production and...
    • ...don't have antimatter production, you need WASTE_PO
    • ...do have antimatter production, you need WASTE_PO, WASTE_POPL, and WASTE_AM

Valve Setup

The valve positions are shown below. Redstone valve outputs are active low, meaning that they apply a redstone signal when the valve is supposed to be closed. Redstone sensitive Mekanism pipes allow flow when no redstone signal is applied, so this "active low" state means it allows flow when the RTU outputs no redstone signal. Position the redstone outputs in the locations of the diagonal labelled lines shown below in order to correctly route waste. For setups missing certain parts of the production, valves can be omitted.

Below is an example with bundled control using the Immersive Engineering mod. Red controls WASTE_PU, orange controls WASTE_PO, yellow controls WASTE_POPL, and lime controls WASTE_AM. This setup in the screenshot is currently commanding anti-matter production.

Note that is a Redstone Interface Connector on the computer, then Redstone Connectors on the pipes. Pipes are right clicked with a configurator to set them as redstone-sensitive, then an Immersive Engineering screwdriver is used to configure the colors of the connectors and set them as outputs.

Valve Commands

These are the valve states set by the system per each waste product mode.
