i look through my available items in nei and i see these upgrade items so i give myself a couple cause it wont show any recipes and i put them in a batbox, a generator, and several other things and they do nothing. i looked on the wiki and they dont exist there. what are these upgrades? how do i make them? how do i use them?
Question: Upgrade items
-
Use them on machines, on the 4 slots on the right
-
Overclockers make the machine run faster but demand more energy
Input Transformers make the machine able to run at higher voltages, use one for maximum MV and two for maximum HV
Storage Upgrades make the machine able to store more energy -

Storage Upgrades make the machine able to store more energyso overclockers add speed and storage upgrades add eu storage. do you mean the the input transformers stop the machines from blowing up when i hook up an mfsu?

Precisely, place two Input Transformers into, say a Macerator, and it'll run on HV direct from an MFSU instead of needing to be stepped down to LV

In a LV transformer, the three-dot side is where the medium voltage comes in and the one-dot sides are where the low voltage comes out, and so on.

Also, as a little hint, all of the machine upgrades are stackable... But I'm not sure exactly how the EFFECTS stack. It would seem that there is about a 10-15% cumulative increase in speed on the overclocker upgrade. By putting 9 OC and 2 Transformer on a recycler, you can chew through a stack in about 5 seconds. Macerators chew through 32 ore in about a minute, and electro furnaces seem like machine guns. The biggest problem is that, without the transformer upgrades, you just can't power the machines fast enough for that many OC units.
It's fun.
