Flow

Direct steps

  • Vanadium gallium ingot (EV Mixer circuit 1 + EBF 4500 K) → single wire → 1 VG single wire · 1 PPS foil · 1 PVC foil · 72 mB silicone rubber (1)

How to build

  1. Drawers first: naquadah alloy ingots, VG single wire, PPS foil, PVC foil. Drums: silicone rubber (or SBR) and PBI. One dedicated assembler per product (plate bender, casing, cable, hull), each behind its own router or Pipez item pipe with Item Filters and a Robot Arm cover in Keep Exact mode. — functionalstorage:oak_1, gtceu:naquadah_alloy_ingot, gtceu:vanadium_gallium_single_wire, gtceu:polyphenylene_sulfide_foil
  2. LV Bender, circuit 1: 1 naquadah alloy ingot → 1 plate. 8 plates per casing; output drawer Keep Exact 16. — gtceu:lv_bender, gtceu:naquadah_alloy_plate
  3. LV Assembler, circuit 8: 8 plates → 1 ZPM Machine Casing in 2.5 s at 16 EU/t. Keep Exact 4 on the casing drawer. — gtceu:lv_assembler, gtceu:zpm_machine_casing
  4. VG wire: a wiremill on the vanadium gallium ingot, single wire, circuit 1. Then the cable assembler: wire + PPS foil + PVC foil + 72 mB silicone rubber → 1 VG single cable in 5 s at 8 EU/t. Two per hull. — gtceu:lv_wiremill, gtceu:vanadium_gallium_single_wire
  5. Hull assembler: casing + 2 VG cables + 288 mB PBI → ZPM Machine Hull in 2.5 s at 16 EU/t. PBI by a Pipez fluid pipe from its drum, casing and cables by one router each. — gtceu:lv_assembler, gtceu:polybenzimidazole_bucket, gtceu:zpm_machine_hull
  6. Output drawer Keep Exact 8. Hulls are what every ZPM hatch, bus, component machine and fusion casing starts from. — functionalstorage:oak_1, gtceu:zpm_machine_hull

Tips

  • Recipes. Casing: 8 naquadah alloy plates, assembler, circuit 8, 50 ticks at 16 EU/t (MachineRecipeLoader casing_zpm; crafting-table version 8 plates around a wrench). Hull: the PACK replaces the GT hull for LuV, ZPM and UV (kjs additions/machines_and_parts/tiered_machines/singleblocks.js, luvUVMachines): casing + 2 tier single cables + 288 mB of the tier plastic, assembler 50 ticks at 16 EU/t, and a crafting-table alternative (middle row: PBI plate, naquadah alloy plate, PBI plate; bottom row: cable, casing, cable). For ZPM: casing + 2 vanadium gallium single cables + 288 mB polybenzimidazole. Vanilla GT (hull_zpm) is the same with PBI as well; the LuV hull is the one that differs (see zpm_pbi).
  • Cable (WireRecipeHandler): vanadium gallium is a ZPM-rated cable (V[ZPM]), so like the LuV cable it needs, in the assembler at 100 ticks and 8 EU/t: 1 single wire + 1 polyphenylene sulfide foil + 1 PVC foil + 72 mB silicone rubber (or 36 mB styrene butadiene rubber). Two cables per hull. The ZPM energy hatch uses 4 more VG single cables (energy_hatch_zpm) and the pack’s ZPM 4A hatch 2 VG quadruple wires. Vanadium gallium dust (MixerRecipes): 3 vanadium + 1 gallium dust → 4 dust, circuit 1, 400 ticks at 1920 EU/t (EV Mixer); EBF 4500 K (RTM coils), 1920 EU/t, 1200 ticks (60 s), freezer VA[HV]. Vanadium and gallium sources: Unverified (check EMI).
  • The pack also keeps the plastic in tier_data.js: ZPM plastic = polybenzimidazole, cable = vanadium gallium, tier material naquadah alloy, glass = fusion glass. Hull cost: 8 naquadah alloy ingots (4 naquadah dust, 2 osmiridium, 2 trinium dust), 2 VG wire (about 1 ingot), 2 PPS and 2 PVC foils, 144 mB silicone, 288 mB PBI. The hull is the starting item for every ZPM machine and hatch, so the cost per hull is mostly trinium and naquadah.
  • What the hull unlocks in this guide: ZPM energy hatch (zpm_hatches), ZPM input/output buses, ZPM assembler and other ZPM machines, the research parts (zpm_research), the fusion casings (zpm_fusion), the rotor holder. 4A and 16A hatches use the transformers: the pack’s ZPM transformer = ZPM hull + 1 yttrium barium cuprate cable + 4 vanadium gallium cables + 2 UHPIC chips (transformers.js).
  • Sub-steps people skip: (1) bender plates on circuit 1, casing on circuit 8; (2) PPS foil is mandatory for the cable: keep its drawer even though you made it for the LuV cables; (3) the cable is a 100 tick recipe, make 4 at a time with Keep Exact 4; (4) keep 3 casings spare, the ZPM fusion casings need hulls too; (5) PBI hull recipe bypasses PTFE entirely.
  • Unverified the exact vanadium and gallium sources.
