UV: Abydos first, then wetware

Phase id: p14 · Era: UV · Abydos

PEEK and UV solder, the UV hull, Abydos (xenotime → dysprosium → UV motors → drilling rig and magma), zirconium, then the sterile bio lines, research data and the wetware circuits. Typical pace (community reports, not independent samples): players report about 3 days from the Stargate to UV (1 clean run) and about 3 days in UV (3 runs, 0.7 to 3).

PEEK, polyimide and UV solder

• Module key: plan:uvchem · step 75
• Chain: Polyether ether ketone (PEEK): 8 Large Chemical Reactor steps from toluene, benzene, fluorine and propene - the UV hull plastic; also 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)
• Uses: gtceu:benzene_bucket, gtceu:chlorine_bucket, gtceu:oxygen_bucket, gtceu:propene_bucket
• Makes: gtceu:polyether_ether_ketone_bucket, gtceu:indium_tin_lead_cadmium_soldering_alloy_bucket
• Watch out:
  • PEEK is the UV and UHV hull plastic: 8 Large Chemical Reactor steps.
  • Polyimide: 12 reactions; the last two steps need UV-tier Large Chemical Reactors.
  • UV solder: Alloy Blast Smelter, circuit 14, 14 indium + 3 tin + 2 lead + 1 cadmium = 2880 mB.
  • Unverified indium and cadmium sources.

UV hull

• Module key: plan:uvhull · step 76
• Chain: UV Machine Hull: darmstadtium casing + 2 yttrium barium cuprate cables (PPS foil + PVC foil + silicone) + 288 mB PEEK
• Uses: gtceu:darmstadtium_ingot, gtceu:polyether_ether_ketone_bucket
• Makes: gtceu:uv_machine_hull
• Stock: gtceu:uv_machine_hull in 8
• Watch out:
  • Casing: 8 darmstadtium plates, assembler circuit 8; hull = casing + 2 YBCO cables (PPS + PVC foil + silicone) + 288 mB PEEK.
  • The Abydos drilling rig and both Abydos controllers need hulls (UV and ZPM).

Abydos first: xenotime → dysprosium → drilling rig and magma

• Module key: plan:abydos · step 77
• Chain: 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; also Abydos dense magma → residues, lava and 12 raw ores (titanite, xenotime, monazite, scheelite; zapolite, crookesite, kitkaite, lautarite; naquadite, magnesite, chromite, magnetite), 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)
• Uses: gtceu:uv_machine_hull, gtceu:zpm_machine_hull, gtceu:crystal_processor_mainframe, gtceu:sulfuric_acid_bucket, gtceu:polybenzimidazole_bucket, gtceu:indium_tin_lead_cadmium_soldering_alloy_bucket
• Makes: gtceu:cyclonic_sifter, gtceu:molten_destabiliser, gtceu:magnetic_dysprosium_rod, gtceu:uv_electric_motor, gtceu:uv_electric_pump
• Power: Cyclonic Sifter 98 304 EU/t; Molten Destabiliser 491 520 EU/t (UV hatch)
• Watch out:
  • The ZPM Fluid Drilling Rig (4 UV motors + 4 UV pumps, 144 CWU/t research) only drills in Abydos: build the rig and its power line there.
  • Dense magma gives 12 raw ores (titanite, xenotime, monazite, scheelite, zapolite, naquadite...): sift first, about 7 times more ore per magma.
  • The xenotime rare earth line gives only 0.1 dust of each rare earth per run: build many.
  • Not a loop: dysprosium comes from Abydos ORE (xenotime in the refractory metals vein, mined by hand), not from magma: xenotime → rare earth line (5 steps, EBF 7 500 K = trinium coils) → dysprosium → long magnetic dysprosium rod → the first UV motors and pumps → ZPM Fluid Drilling Rig → gritty akreyrium (72 000 mB) → Molten Destabiliser → magma.
  • Fluid Drilling Rig: UV hull + 4 UV circuits (crystal mainframe or wetware computer) + 4 UV motors + 4 UV pumps + 4 naquadah alloy gears + 1 872 mB solder, research 144 CWU/t. Molten Destabiliser: ZPM hull + 6 UV circuits + 24 ZPM pumps + 4 pure netherite rotors + 64 UHPIC chips, PBI 8 000 + gritty akreyrium 72 000 mB. Both run at UV voltage.
  • The akreyrium steps need a UHV hatch (up to 2 097 152 EU/t) and one UIV step: only the drilling for gritty akreyrium belongs here, the rest waits for UHV.
  • Zapolgium can start here: EBF 10 299 K (tritanium coil, assembled at UV voltage) with zapolite from Abydos and tritanium from MK II; it does not wait for the UV fusion reactor (module uhvmetals).

Zirconium (needed by the UV reflectors)

• Module key: plan:uvzirconium · step 78
• Chain: Zirconium from titanite: perchloric acid leach, slurry, hydroxide, chloride, hydrogen reduction - 8 titanite dust per 1 zirconium dust
• Makes: gtceu:zirconium_dust
• Watch out:
  • 8 titanite dust per 1 zirconium dust (perchloric acid leach, slurry, hydroxide, chloride, hydrogen reduction).
  • The UV fusion reactor needs double zirconium plates in its complex reflector panels.
  • Zirconium only from Abydos titanite (vein or refractory magma residue). Zircalloy-4 is an EBF 9 100 K recipe: trinium coils (9 001 K) are not enough, build tritanium coils (10 800 K).

Sterile bio lines

• Module key: plan:uvbio · step 79
• Chain: Sterile bio line 1: bio chaff → bacteria → bacterial sludge → enriched sludge → mutagen (every step inside a Sterile Cleanroom); also Sterile bio line 2: collagen → gelatin → agar, then raw medium, sterilized growth medium and stem cells (Sterile Cleanroom)
• Uses: gtceu:sulfuric_acid_bucket, gtceu:uv_electric_motor, gtceu:uv_electric_pump
• Makes: gtceu:mutagen_bucket, gtceu:stem_cells
• Watch out:
  • Every step runs inside a Sterile Cleanroom (the Sterilizing Filter Casing replaces the normal filter casings).
  • Wetware circuits need stem cells and sterilized growth medium.
  • The raw growth medium recipe is replaced by the pack: mixer, 4 meat + 4 salt + 4 calcium + 4 agar + 4 B mutagen.
  • The bacteria machines (Bacterial Runic Mutator, Breeding Vat, Hydrocarbon Harvester) each need 4 UV motors or pumps, so Abydos dysprosium comes first. The wetware circuits and the biostimulating mixture do not need Abydos.

Research data and CWU power

• Module key: plan:uvdata · step 80
• Chain: 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; also More CWU for UV research: advanced HPCA computation component (16 CWU/t), active cooler, bridge component and the Network Switch that joins several HPCAs
• Uses: gtceu:pcb_coolant_bucket, gtceu:research_station, gtceu:high_performance_computation_array
• Makes: gtceu:advanced_data_access_hatch, gtceu:network_switch
• Power: Data Module 38 400 EU/t
• Watch out:
  • Data item per CWU/t: orb below 32, module from 32, data DNA disk from 160, data core from 320.
  • Every UV research asks 32 to 144 CWU/t: the advanced HPCA computation component gives 16 CWU/t.
  • The Network Switch joins several HPCAs.

Wetware circuits (UV and UHV circuit)

• Module key: plan:wetware · step 81
• Chain: Wetware circuits 1: wetware board → printed board → neuro processing unit → wetware processor (the LuV circuit of the wetware line); also 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, Wetware circuits 2: QRAM chips → wetware processor assembly → Wetware Processor Computer (UV circuit, Assembly Line + 64 CWU/t research), 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
• Uses: gtceu:stem_cells, gtceu:crystal_cpu, gtceu:nano_cpu_chip, gtceu:iron_iii_chloride_bucket, gtceu:radon_bucket, gtceu:research_station
• Makes: gtceu:wetware_processor, gtceu:wetware_processor_computer, gtceu:wetware_processor_mainframe
• Power: mainframe 300 000 EU/t, 70 s
• Watch out:
  • Living SMDs come first: ZPM assembler recipes, 16 or 32 per run; neither the computer nor the mainframe can be built without them.
  • Wetware computer = UV circuit; wetware mainframe = UHV circuit (station research 96 CWU/t).
  • The UV fusion reactor and the UHV hatches ask for the UHV circuit.
