How GTCE byproducts work

When a recipe has a % chance of one of the outputs when you mouse over it, it means it’s a chanced byproduct. The actual chance of it depends on the tier of the machine you are doing this recipe in. The byproduct chance is always capped at 100%. Byproduct multiplying is unrelated to overclocking - all this still applies with overclocking disabled.

Macerators

| Tier | Chance(on 14% ore processing recipes) | |———–|—————————————| | LV | 0% | | MV | 14%(actual:4.62%) | | HV | 28% | | EV | 56% | | IV and up | 100% |

The byproduct chance of a macerator is doubled for every tier above MV - regardless of the recipe’s tier. IV macerators, for example, have an x8 byproduct multiplier. Also: MV Macerators have only a single byproduct slot, despite most ore processing recipes having two byproducts. They contend for the slot, and stone dust takes precedence. As a result, the standard 14% byproduct chance with 67% stone dust becomes 0.33*0.14=4.62% in MV macerators. As such, it is recommended to not set up a serious ore processing line until you can build HV Macerators - those have a 28% byproduct chance on common recipes, six times that of MV.

Other machines

The byproduct chance is multiplied by 2 for each tier the machine’s voltage is higher than the recipe’s. For example, an MV centrifuge doing a 20 EU/t recipe would get a 2x byproduct multiplier.
