MV — 128 EU/t · Industrial Revolution II

Era id: mv · Tier: mv

Goal: Aluminium in bulk, silicon wafers and chips, circuit assembler, first plastics, AE2.

Exit items: gtceu:stainless_steel_ingot, gtceu:hv_machine_hull

Steps

1. Aluminium forever — Barrel clay from sieve dust → electrolyze → Al + Si + Na + Li. (minecraft:clay, gtceu:mv_electrolyzer, gtceu:aluminium_dust)
2. MV power line — Signalum = 1 silver + 3 copper + 4 redstone. MV converters and wire. (gtceu:signalum_ingot, gtceu:mv_4a_energy_converter)
3. Wafers — Boule → 16 wafers. MV cutter with lubricant. (gtceu:silicon_boule, gtceu:mv_cutter, gtceu:silicon_wafer)
4. Chips — Laser engraver + coloured lens: ILC (red), RAM (green), ULPIC (blue), CPU (white). (gtceu:mv_laser_engraver, gtceu:red_glass_lens, gtceu:ilc_chip, gtceu:ram_chip)
5. Integrated circuits — Much cheaper LV and MV circuits. (gtceu:lv_circuit_assembler, gtceu:basic_integrated_circuit, gtceu:good_integrated_circuit)
6. First chemistry — Sulfuric acid → ethylene → polyethylene. (gtceu:sulfuric_acid_bucket, gtceu:polyethylene_bucket)
7. Etching — Sodium persulfate or iron III chloride etch the boards. (gtceu:sodium_persulfate_bucket, gtceu:phenolic_printed_circuit_board, gtceu:good_electronic_circuit)
8. Wood economy — Greenhouse logs → Pyrolyse Oven: charcoal, creosote, later oil. (gtceu:greenhouse, gtceu:pyrolyse_oven)
9. Process the void fluids — MV centrifuge/electrolyzer unlock everything stored from the Void Extractor. Chromite (chromium) and pyrolusite (manganese) are already MV here, so stainless and Kanthal can be prepared at the end of MV. (gtceu:rare_earth_dust, gtceu:chromite_dust, gtceu:vanadium_magnetite_dust)
10. AE2 (late MV) — Not a first MV step: fluix steel ingots need an EBF at 1900 K (Kanthal coils) and sky dust needs ender pearl dust. Controller = 4 diamond skystone alloy plates + 4 engineering processors + fluix steel frame; then drive, crafting terminal. (ae2:sky_dust, gtceu:fluix_steel_dust, ae2:controller)

Power

MV power grid

Storage

• AE2 starts: Late MV or HV: once the controller stands, move all storage into ME drives. (ae2:controller, ae2:drive, ae2:crafting_terminal)
• Chemicals: One Super Tank per acid/gas (4 MV circuits + 3 aluminium plates + hermetic casing + MV pump); lock output hatches to their fluid. (gtceu:mv_super_tank)
• Chem lines: One LaserIO node per reactor cluster, fluid cards with filters. (laserio:laser_node)
