UV · Abydos — 524k EU/t · Adventures in Abydos

Era id: uv · Tier: uv

Goal: Temples, tombs, akreyrium and Abydos magmas; wetware and neutronium.

Exit items: gtceu:neutronium_ingot

Steps

1. Survive the sands — The tomb talisman replaces armour. (kubejs:abydos_talisman)
2. Hull and polymers — UV hull = darmstadtium casing + 2 YBCO cables + 288 mB PEEK (not PBI). PEEK is an 8-step Large Chemical Reactor line; polyimide (living SMDs) is a 12-step line whose last two steps need a UV hatch. (gtceu:uv_machine_hull, gtceu:polyether_ether_ketone_bucket, gtceu:darmstadtium_plate)
3. Hatches and components — UV hatch = Assembly Line, station research 64 CWU/t. UV components: Assembly Line, 600 ticks at 122 880 EU/t, 576 mB naquadria each, tritan steel parts, americium wire, gravi stars for emitters, sensors and field generators. (gtceu:uv_energy_input_hatch, gtceu:uv_electric_motor, gtceu:tritan_steel_ingot)
4. CWU — Research asks 24 to 144 CWU/t: advanced HPCA components give 16 CWU/t each (4 UV circuits each); one HPCA tops out near 48, so a Network Switch joins several bridged HPCAs. (gtceu:network_switch, gtceu:hpca_advanced_computation_component)
5. Akreyrium — The ZPM Fluid Drilling Rig (research 144 CWU/t) pumps the Abydos gritty akreyrium vein; the Cyclonic Sifter eats 280 B of it and the Molten Destabiliser 72 B (both on 491 520 EU/t Assembly Line recipes). The Exotic Gas Siphon listed here is a UEV recipe (UHV gas collector, 8 UHV circuits): not in this era. (gtceu:gritty_akreyrium_bucket, gtceu:cyclonic_sifter, gtceu:molten_destabiliser)
6. Wetware — UV circuits are the crystal mainframe (ZPM page) or the Wetware Processor Computer; the UHV circuit is the Wetware Processor Mainframe (2 computers + 60 living SMDs). Stem cells and growth medium come from the Sterile Cleanroom line (Sterilizing Filter Casings replace the filter casings; normal cleanroom recipes do not run in it), the circuit assemblers stay in a normal cleanroom. (gtceu:wetware_processor_mainframe, gtceu:stem_cells)
7. Neutronium — UV Fusion Reactor: 4 UHV circuits (wetware mainframes), 128 UHPIC chips, quantum star, double americium plate, 2 ZPM field generators, 32 ENTED wire; research 96 CWU/t. Neutronium = 216 mB americium + 288 mB naquadria, 72 s, 117 964 EU/t, 600 MEU start, tier-3 complex reflectors. You will need tons: every UHV hull is 8 plates.

Setups

• Polyether ether ketone (PEEK): 8 Large Chemical Reactor steps from toluene, benzene, fluorine and propene - the UV hull plastic
• Polyimide: 12 reactions (maleic anhydride, BTDA, NMP, phenylenediamine, polyamic acid) - needs UV-tier Large Chemical Reactors for the last two steps
• UV solder: indium tin lead cadmium soldering alloy in the Alloy Blast Smelter (2880 mB per 14 dust batch, circuit 14, 3000 K)
• Living SMDs (inductor, transistor, capacitor, resistor, diode): ZPM Assembler recipes, 16 or 32 per run - the UV computer and the UHV mainframe cannot be built without them
• Sterile bio line 1: bio chaff → bacteria → bacterial sludge → enriched sludge → mutagen (every step inside a Sterile Cleanroom)
• Sterile bio line 2: collagen → gelatin → agar, then raw medium, sterilized growth medium and stem cells (Sterile Cleanroom)
• Wetware circuits 1: wetware board → printed board → neuro processing unit → wetware processor (the LuV circuit of the wetware line)
• Data Module (sterile circuit assembler) and the data item per CWU/t: orb below 32, module from 32, data DNA disk from 160, component data core from 320
• More CWU for UV research: advanced HPCA computation component (16 CWU/t), active cooler, bridge component and the Network Switch that joins several HPCAs
• Wetware circuits 2: QRAM chips → wetware processor assembly → Wetware Processor Computer (UV circuit, Assembly Line + 64 CWU/t research)
• UV metals: tritan steel (Alloy Blast Smelter, 8990 K) and the UV superconductor enriched naquadah trinium europium duranide (UV mixer + 9900 K blast)
• UV Machine Hull: darmstadtium casing + 2 yttrium barium cuprate cables (PPS foil + PVC foil + silicone) + 288 mB PEEK
• UV Energy Input Hatch: dysprosium voltage coils → Assembly Line (station research 64 CWU/t), then the UV transformer and 4A hatch
• Gravi star: nether star → quantum star (radon bath) → gravi star (autoclave with 288 mB neutronium) - 1 per UV emitter, sensor and field generator
• UV components 1/2: electric motor, pump, conveyor module and piston (Assembly Line, 30 s, 122 880 EU/t, research 32 CWU/t, 576 mB naquadria each)
• UV components 2/2: robot arm, emitter, sensor and field generator (Assembly Line, gravi stars, 96 naquadria foil each, research 32 / 48 CWU/t)
• UHV circuit: Wetware Processor Mainframe (2 computers + living SMDs, 70 s at 300 000 EU/t, station research 96 CWU/t) - the UV fusion reactor and the UHV hatches ask for it
• UV Fusion Reactor: complex reflector panel → complex reflector casing → fusion casing MK3 → reactor (4 UHV circuits, 128 UHPIC chips, research 96 CWU/t)
• Fusion metals: lutetium → americium, gallium + radon → duranium → tritanium, then neutronium (americium + naquadria); everything but neutronium runs in the ZPM Fusion Reactor (MK II) with tier-2/3 reflectors, neutronium needs the UV reactor (MK III)
• UV multiblock controllers (Assembly Line): Mega Vacuum Freezer, Chemical Plant, Advanced Synthesis Plant, Titan Forge - all gated on UV circuits, UV components and 24 to 64 CWU/t research
• UV-era controllers 2/2: Mega Blast Furnace (2 UHV circuits), Exotic Rock Crusher and Network Hub (4 UHV circuits) - the UHV circuit is the real gate
• Abydos mantle: ZPM Fluid Drilling Rig (144 CWU/t research) → gritty akreyrium → Cyclonic Sifter and Molten Destabiliser (280 B and 72 B of it per controller)
• Abydos dense magma → residues, lava and 12 raw ores (titanite, xenotime, monazite, scheelite; zapolite, crookesite, kitkaite, lautarite; naquadite, magnesite, chromite, magnetite)
• Xenotime rare earth line: 5 machines → yttrium + small lutetium, dysprosium, europium, samarium dust; dysprosium and zapolgium rods are polarized in the pack’s own recipe

Power

UV power: potassium + fluorine → nickel plasma (UV Fusion Reactor, tier-3 reflectors) → Large Plasma Turbine with a UV rotor holder → UV dynamo hatch
