Energy condesing
--Minorminer14 04:46, 21 July 2012 (MST)[[File:<wikieditor-toolbar-tool-file-example>]]Energy condensing can be confusing to someone knew to Tekkit it allows you turn items into other items. If you would like to have the energy condenser outside of Tekkit, download the "Equivalent Exchange" mod. WARNING!: This article will take time to read, and if you are resorting to TekkitWiki to find out how to do this, it will take you a while to get every thing you need for an energy condenser. Tip- do not use any diamonds you find until you've made an energy condenser, it will make the game a lot easier.
crafting
To make an energy condenser, you first need an Alchemical Chest, which is a chest with lots of space. First you need to make all three kinds of covalence dust, green, turquoise, and blue. Green covalence is made by putting charcoal in the bottom right square of a crafting table, and cobble stone in all of the others. Turquoise is mad by placing a redstone dust to the direct right of an iron ingot. Blue dust is made by placing a piece of coal the direct right of a diamond. Each of these recipes will give you 40 of the corresponding dust. Now place in the top row of a crafting table, place the dust in this order, 1 green, 1 turquoise, 1 blue. Put clean stone underneath the green dust and blue dust. Put a diamond between the two stone. Then put an iron ingot beneath each stone, and put a chest underneath the diamond and you have an alchemical chest! Now put the alchemical chest in the middle square of the crafting table, put an obsidian in each corner, and a diamond in all of the other squares, and there's your energy condenser!
Condensing energy
In the energy condenser, you'll see lots of space just like a chest, and a lonely square up in the top left. Put the item you want to duplicate in that square, and what you want to use to duplicate in the other squares. There are very few items that can't be duplicated or be used to duplicate items such as rubber and refined iron, but everything that can be duped has a set amount of energy required to be duplicated and that same amount is how much energy it contributes to duping other items. Example, a diamond is 8,000 energy, and an emerald is 1,000 energy, so it takes 8 emeralds to make a diamond, or 1 diamond to make 8 emeralds.
Auto Duping
This is where it gets really hard. You can craft blocks that will duplicate items without putting minerals inside called energy collectors. To make an energy collector, put a diamond block in the middle square, a furnace underneath it, and a glass cube above it, fills the rest of the crafting table with glowstone blocks. Put the energy collector directly next to, behind, in front of, onto of, or underneath your energy condenser, put an item in the duping square and don't put anything in the big space that you put items to give up materials go, you'll see the energy bar filling up. Don't get too excited, one energy collector level 1 is just pure crap. Now you need a dark matter which I have to tell you will take a while just to tell you how to make. First, make a philosopher's stone by putting a diamond in the middle square, glowstone dust in each corner, and redstone dust everywhere else. When you use a philosopher's stone to craft something, it doesn't go away. Now in the crafting table, put the philosopher's stone anywhere you want, and 4 pieces of coal anywhere you want, you'll get a piece of alchemical coal. Once you have 4 alchemical coal, put the philosopher's stone anywhere, and the 4 alchemical coal anywhere, you'll get mobius fuel. Then when you get 4 mobius fuel, again, put the stone anywhere<wikieditor-toolbar-tool-italic-example>, and the 4 fuel anywhere, to get one aeternalis fuel. You need 8 of these. Once you have 8, put a diamond block in the middle square and surround it by the aeternalis fuel, you'll get a dark matter! Put your energy collector (not condenser) in the middle square, the dark matter above it, and glowstone blocks everywhere else. You'll get a Collector MK2. This will gain energy faster Now time to make a collector MK3. You need a red matter. To get red matter, put dark matter in all three middle squares of a crafting table, and aeternalis fuel in each other spot. Then Put your collector Mk2 in the middle crafting square, the red matter on top, and glowstone blocks everywhere else. If you fully understand so far, and have done the steps already provided, your knowledge of the subject is now intermediate.
Extra Power from Relays
To build an energy relay, do the same thing as collectors but with obsidian instead of glowstone, dark red matter goes in the same spot as before and everything. Place a relay right next to your condenser, (remember, collectors and relays don't work when in a spot diagonally connected to a connected to a condenser) you can then surround the relay in collectors. The most power you can possibly give to a condenser is 14 collectors with 5 relays. You can do that by covering every side of the condenser but the front with a relay, and covering the relays with collectors to the point where you can no longer see the relays at all. This formation is called a "Flower." An energy condenser with a flower formation can duplicate diamonds automatically in about 10 seconds
