How to build

  1. Frame: research the iridium frame in the scanner, then the Assembly Line recipe (LuV hull, 2 LuV circuits, lapotronic orb cluster, LuV emitter, sensor and regulator). — gtceu:assembly_line, start_core:modular_combustion_frame
  2. Modules: research UCM → SCM (24 CWU/t) → SRM (64 CWU/t) at the Research Station and assemble them; fill the frame up to 8. — start_core:zpm_combustion_module, start_core:uv_combustion_module
  3. Fluids: fuel, lubricant (combustion) or tungsten disulfide (rocket), an oxidiser for the boost and 500 B/h of distilled or deionized water per module. Output through dynamo or laser hatches into the substation. — gtceu:lubricant_bucket, gtceu:distilled_water_bucket

Tips

  • Names (start_core lang): Modular Combustion Frame [MCF]; Unreal Combustion Module [UCM] (LuV), Supreme Combustion Module [SCM] (ZPM), Supreme Rocket Module [SRM] (UV), Nyinsane Rocket Module [NRM] (UEV). The frame holds up to 8 modules; modules accept laser hatches.
  • Recipes (pack additions/progression/power/modular_combustion.js): MCF = Assembly Line, LuV hull, 2 LuV circuits, lapotronic orb cluster, LuV emitter/sensor/regulator, LuV voltage, scanner research of the iridium frame. SCM = Assembly Line, ZPM hull, 6 ZPM circuits, ZPM voltage, station research of the UCM (24 CWU/t). SRM = 8 UV circuits, 6 UV regulators, UV voltage, research of the SCM (64 CWU/t). NRM research of the SRM (160 CWU/t).
  • Output (start_core bytecode + lang): base = V[tier] per module (SCM 131 072 EU/t). With red fuming nitric acid (120 mB/s, fuel use x2) up to 6 A of ZPM = 786 432 EU/t per SCM; SRM up to 8 A of UV = 4 194 304 EU/t (200 mB/s). Oxidiser tiers WFNA / RFNA / dioxygen difluoride / ferrocenium superoxide = x5 / x6 / x8 / x12.
  • Cooling per module (500 B/h): distilled water +20 %, deionized water +40 %, none -10 %. Theoretical max with 8 modules: SCM 48 A of ZPM (about 6.29 M EU/t), SRM 64 A of UV (about 33.6 M EU/t); with deionized water about 8.8 M and 47.0 M.
  • The community figures "5 MCF + SCM = 288 A ZPM" and "384 A UV" are exactly 6x those maxima and could not be reproduced from the pack data: do not plan on them. Only the SCM:SRM ratio 6:8 matches.
  • Unverified which fuel each module burns and at what rate (in the mod Java, not in the scripts).
