Configuration

Mekanism: Engineering registers one NeoForge SERVER config, which holds almost every setting, and one small CLIENT config (see Client settings); there is no COMMON config. The server config lives per world, at:

<world>/serverconfig/mekanismengineering-server.toml

It is generated the first time the world starts with the mod installed. In multiplayer, the value that applies is the server’s file, not a client’s. Every entry below is grouped by its section in that file; the section name is in brackets in each heading.

NeoForge corrects a number outside the listed range to the nearest allowed value, and a value that is not a number falls back to the default. For example, a Distributor intervalTicks below 40 becomes 40.

Quantum Ore Refinery

The Quantum Ore Refinery has no key in this file: its levels, its speed (200 ticks down to 4 with accelerators), its tanks and its energy price are fixed in the addon. Its energy follows Mekanism’s own Enrichment Chamber setting (each ore recipe costs 200 times what the chamber uses in one tick), so a modpack that changes Mekanism’s machine energy changes the refinery too. The same goes for the Radioactive Quantum Entangloporter, whose buffer, speed and prices are fixed values, and for the Quantum Network Tablet.

Digital Miner Companion [surveyor]

Key	Default	Range	Meaning
enabled	true	n/a	Turns the Digital Miner Companion on or off: linking, reading, remote control, estimates and relocations.
cooldownTicks	10	1 – 200	Shortest time (ticks) between two links of the same Companion, per player.
estimateEnabled	true	n/a	Allows the Companion’s on-demand “fresh estimate” of blocks the draft would currently mine. Read-only: it only reads chunks already loaded, never starts the miner, and is spread over several ticks.
estimateBudgetMicros	2000	100 – 20000	Server time (microseconds per tick) shared by every estimate running at once.
estimateMaxBlocks	4,000,000	1 – 50,000,000	Largest configured volume (block positions) an estimate accepts before refusing to run.

Precision Logistical Distributor [distributor]

Key	Default	Range	Meaning
enabled	true	n/a	Turns the Precision Logistical Distributor on or off. Disabled, it refuses input and stops distributing.

Time Overclocker [overclocker]

A config file generated before this default keeps its old value (an empty list) and has to be edited by hand. An Overclocker is never sped up, whatever this says.

The Overclocker’s energy cost per extra tick (100 J) and its storage (2,000,000 J) are not in this file in 1.3.

Quantum Network Controller [quantum_network]

Key	Default	Range	Meaning
timingLogs	false	n/a	Writes one line to latest.log for every snapshot the Controller sends (server side) and for every wait the Controller screen shows (client side): where the time went, how many devices were looked at, how large the answer was. It only measures: nothing shown or saved changes. Debugging only.
cacheSeconds	30	0 – 300	How long, in seconds, the Controller or Tablet screen may show the last figures it had for a frequency and a resource while the first measure of a newly opened screen or tab runs. The live figures replace them as soon as they exist, about one or two seconds later. 0 shows no earlier figures.

Client settings

Key	Default	Meaning
notifications	true	Shows a notification, with Minecraft’s notification sound, when your Quantum Digital Miner finishes mining, is held up or has moved. Off: no notification and no sound for any notification of the mod. The server still sends them.
