MFMs? That's short for Mass-Fab Macerator. As I understand it, MFMs are systems of machines, wires, and tubes (and perhaps a few other things, depending on complexity of the system) that use Macerators as a key component to generate resources. For instance, a Blaze Rod can be used to create a certain number of Blaze Powders (I think 2) by default, but putting a Blaze Rod into a Macerator generates 5 Blaze Powders. Using the Equivalent Exchance mod, 2 Blaze Powders can be used to recreate a Blaze Rod for use in the Macerator again, yielding 3 extra Blaze Powders to use however you like.

I'm pretty sure most MFMs use Blaze Rods as their primary material for generating extra resources. MFMs mostly vary in the complexity of the machines in the system, space occupied by the system, and speed of generation.

If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to take my best shot at answering them, or else direct you to a page with the information.
