Rockhounding Mod: Chemistry
The purpose of Rockhounding Chemistry is to assembly and maintain an industrial area in which several machines handle various types of ingredients (solid, fluid and gaseous) to produce advanced material for mid-late game stages. It also leads to several features, functional applications and experiments.
Each machine can be also integrated with custom recipes, allowing to freely reassess the working chain, or to use each machine on its own. The mod brings a set of machinery which can interact with eachother, working as parts of a unique factory. It also aims to involve the player in the production chain, planning how to efficiently prioritize the resources.
By default the mod features a tech tree running through the processes which bring a mined undefined mineral to be analyzed, acknowledged and treated to become chemical elements.
The goal is to acquire several elements and material by using a progressive manipulation, to turn the raw mineral into the final dust form.
This mod could be useful in expert or long term tech packs. To be profitably used, it is highly recommended a deep CraftTweaker integration, eventually with customized paths other than the default tech tree.

So... When it appears on 1.12.2?
Thanks for ansver.

They were part of the 1.7-1.10 builds. Some are added, some others got no longer space inside or usage.
Is it just me, or this mod utterly utterly confusing? Just a basic task like "do something with uninspected mineral" appears to be practically impossible. I wonder if it needs some proper modular-design so bits can be switched on or off. It looks all or nothing to me, and as an addon in a modpack it's proved impossible to integrate.
Great mod! My dream - one ore for void miner and many metal processing!
Is there a way to deactivate the Gasification Plant? The in-game Guidebook says that every structure has a redstone port to shut it off, but I don't see the symbol on any part of the multiblock like I do on the Gas Purifier for instance.
I have the setup mentioned in the in-game Task Book where I have the Gasification Plant producing Raw Syngas and the Gas Purifier producing Syngas for machines, using a shared Raw Syngas tank for both plants, but I want to have the output tank for Syngas emit a signal to turn off the Gas Purifier and Gasification Plant so that the Syngas and Raw Syngas tanks do not fill up and possibly explode. I cannot use Exhaust Valves on the tanks because they don't seem to be in the game in version 1.12.2-3.46. They don't show up in JEI anyway.
Can you tell me if it's possible to shut off the Gasification Plant via redstone?
Also, the in-game Guidebook doesn't have information that I can find on the upgrades or casings. Refractory Upgrade, Insulation Upgrade, Casing Upgrade, etc. Is there a location to understand what those do?
In reply to jorval832:
Hi, this structure has not the redstone handling yet, will add it as well soon. If you can't see the Exaustion Valve in JEI, it means that the Hazard&Pollution feature is disabled in the config, so vessels will not explode anyway.
The Insulation and Casing upgrades are explained in the Deposition Chamber chapter, in the second page. They improve the handling of temperature and pressure while using the machine.
The refractory upgrade needs to be added in the Guidebook, will do it too, thanks for reporting it. It improves the heating and cooling factors of the Gasification Plant so to don't waste power to keep it hot. It works against the Speed upgrade, so higher speed may have a chance to crack and break it so it may need to be crafted again.
Ay guys, since the is very little info on this mod, I cant get the helium gas out of the GAN to make liquid helium. I've built it exactly like the picture, but it wont let me extract it into anything other than the gas tanks in the mod. Really would like some help cause I dont wanna have to uninstall after building the whole machine process ._.
Edit: did some testing, seems helium is the problem. Is there a way to add the recipe to the gas condenser?
In reply to deamonscarnage:
Hi, you can use CraftTweaker. The mod adds only its specific materials, so you need another mod that already has the liquid helium to convert
in Example:
gas to liquid conversion
all the scripts are available here
if you want to use the produced helium gas as a fluid straight away, you can set the Transposer from this mod so it can be picked with any modded fluid pipe
In reply to globbypotato:
I must have done something wrong, cause its outputting water instead of liquid helium. I have nuclearcraft so I have a liquid helium.
Edit: I tried the transponder but it just uses water, wont use helium at all
In reply to deamonscarnage:
that's odd, do you mean the condenser script above returned water? just in case, make sure you check for the correct names, I don't remember how's the liquid helium called in other mods.
In reply to globbypotato:
Yeah it's called liquid helium. Im guessing the liquid helium from nuclearcraft just doesn't play well with others.
Is there a work around for me to extract the gas out directly? I tried the transponder, but it wont let me use helium
In reply to deamonscarnage:
I'm not sure about the malfunction with the liquid helium, is that a pack?
To use the transposer refer to the image in the link below. You need to set the configuration in the middle so the helium gas can be sent to any modded fluid system still as helium gas:

You need to add a crafttweaker script like this (both ingredients are the same). In this way you can use any other way to convert it:
In reply to globbypotato:
Oh man thank you. It worked. After all the scripts I wrote, that simple one finally did it. Thank you so much
I am trying to add custom mineral sizer scripts, but the example on the github link is giving an error. is there a more recent/updated crafttweaker script available?
The error is: "4 methods available, but none matches the parameters..."
In reply to AlatorTobanyi:
Hi, did you checked the 1.12 branch of the script? You should have 3 args only
https://github.com/GlobbyPotato/Rockhounding_Chemistry/blob/1.12.2/CraftTweaker_chemistry_script_1_12_2.zs
Eventually post the script so I can have a look to fix
In reply to globbypotato:
Yeah, I tried it myself, than copy-pasted the example script in and got the same result:
What I copied in:
mods.rockhounding_chemistry.MineralSizer.add(<minecraft:hardened_clay>, <minecraft:dye:0>, 9);
What I tried to do:
mods.rockhounding_chemistry.MineralSizer.add(<magneticraft:chunks>, <mekanism:clump>, 3);
They both give the same error:
