Era id: zpm · Tier: zpm

Goal: Crystal circuits, trinium coils, then the Classic Stargate.

Exit items: sgjourney:classic_stargate_base_block

Steps

1. ZPM circuits — First ZPM circuit: Quantum Processor Mainframe (qubit chips made with radon, extreme boards, three IV Circuit Assembler stages, final Assembly Line recipe at 30 720 EU/t). Five different items count as a ZPM circuit; the Research Station and its HPCA alone eat about 50. (gtceu:quantum_processor_mainframe, gtceu:qbit_cpu_chip, gtceu:fiber_reinforced_printed_circuit_board)
2. Crystal circuits — One exquisite emerald (4 emeralds) + 16 mB europium gives a 10 % chance of the FIRST raw crystal chip; hammer each chip into 9 parts and regrow every part with 16 mB europium (10 min per autoclave run). The crystal computer is the second ZPM circuit, the Crystal Processor Mainframe the UV circuit that the era multiblocks need. (gtceu:raw_crystal_chip, gtceu:crystal_processor_mainframe)
3. Trinium — Naquadah coils (7200 K) make trinium, naquadah alloy and osthendah; a trinium coil block needs 8 trinium ingots and a 122 880 EU/t assembler. Build ONE 9001 K furnace for naquadria and URD instead of upgrading every EBF. (gtceu:trinium_coil_block, gtceu:naquadria_ingot)
4. Hull and components — Naquadah alloy hull with PBI (not PTFE), osthendah parts, europium wire: a ZPM motor eats 8 europium ingots. Motor, pump, piston, conveyor and arm are scanner research; emitter, sensor and field generator need the Research Station. (gtceu:zpm_machine_hull, gtceu:zpm_electric_motor, gtceu:osthendah_ingot)
5. Research — Moved here from LuV. The station recipe needs 8 ZPM circuits, 2 ZPM motors, URD and trinium foil; its parts (36 advanced computer casings, Object Holder, computation hatch, HPCA components) need about 50 ZPM circuits. Station research writes onto data ORBS. (gtceu:research_station, gtceu:data_orb, gtceu:object_holder)
6. Fusion MK II — URD superconducting coil, fusion coil, tier-2 reflector casings; the reactor itself needs 4 UV circuits. Darmstadtium (tier-2 recipe) is the UV hull metal. (start_core:zpm_fusion_reactor, gtceu:fusion_coil, gtceu:darmstadtium_bucket)
7. UV circuits and multis — Every ZPM-era multiblock recipe asks for 2 to 16 UV circuits (crystal mainframes, 61 440 EU/t Assembly Line, 16 CWU/t research). Component Part Assembly, Heat Chamber, Large Rotor Machine, Runic Engraver, Stargate Component Assembly and the Dimensional Finder add up to 40. (gtceu:crystal_processor_mainframe, gtceu:component_part_assembly, gtceu:heat_chamber)
8. Stargate rods — Large Rotor Machine layers at UV power, then the Heat Chamber: 9 foil reams and 2 quantum stars per raw rod, 720 mB nether star concentrate to activate. The whole gate needs about 480 activated rods. (gtceu:large_rotor_machine, kubejs:raw_stargate_rod, kubejs:activated_stargate_rod)
9. Coordinates — Dimensional Finder run in the Overworld: 48 CWU/t, 5 % chance, 16 ZPM sensors and 7200 mB naquadria per attempt; duplicate a lucky crystal in a scanner. (gtceu:dimensional_finder, kubejs:abydos_coordinate_crystal)
10. Build the gate — 24 ring blocks (14 in the gate; the 9 chevrons and the base each consume one), 9 chevron blocks, 1 base block, DHD and crystal interface; the final step is Create mechanical crafting.
