Combos: multiblocks that share parts

Phase id: p20 · Era: HV

Optional layouts checked against the pack data: shared walls and hatches, Perfect-OC cubes, an engine wall, AE2 pattern sharing, the ECR with a parallel hatch and the Modular Combustion Frame. Each card shows the tier where it fits; build them when you reach it.

Engine wall: 208 Huge Diesel Engines on biodiesel

  • Module key: plan:cb_diesel · step 100 · combo for era lv
  • Chain: Combo: a wall of Huge Diesel Engines on crude biodiesel (Create)
  • Uses: create_new_age:generator_coil
  • Makes: createdieselgenerators:huge_diesel_engine, createdieselgenerators:biodiesel_bucket
  • Power: 12 288 SU per engine at 224 RPM; 208 engines = 2 555 904 SU
  • Watch out:
    • Verified 208 x 12 288 SU = 2 555 904 SU on crude biodiesel (Create mixing 100 plant oil + 100 ethanol → 200).
    • Unverified the real fuel use in game and the plant oil source; the GT fish oil biodiesel route needs the IV Industrial Fishery.

Quad: four multiblocks sharing walls and hatches

  • Module key: plan:cb_quad · step 101 · combo for era hv
  • Chain: Combo: a quad of multiblocks sharing walls and hatches
  • Uses: gtceu:cupronickel_coil_block, gtceu:hv_machine_hull
  • Makes: gtceu:auto_maintenance_hatch
  • Watch out:
    • Shareable: energy hatches, buses, fluid hatches, casings, coils. Never shared: maintenance, parallel, laser, rotor holder, HPCA and optical parts.
    • A shared energy hatch feeds two machines: give it 2 A. Two 2 A MV hatches (4 A) reach HV recipes.

Perfect-OC cubes from the Multiblock Upgrade Kit

  • Module key: plan:cb_cubes · step 102 · combo for era hv
  • Chain: Combo: Perfect-OC cubes (Multiblock Upgrade Kit) built as a quad
  • Uses: gtceu:micro_processor_computer, gtceu:hv_machine_hull
  • Makes: kubejs:multiblock_upgrade_kit
  • Power: kit: HV assembler; cube: one 2 A energy hatch
  • Watch out:
    • The kit needs an EV circuit: an end-of-HV build.
    • 3x3x3 hollow cube: at least 5 own casings, exactly one 2 A energy hatch (4 A does not count) and one maintenance hatch, air behind the controller; perfect overclock + batch, no parallel.

Assembler Matrix and pattern buffers (AE2)

  • Module key: plan:cb_ae2 · step 103 · combo for era ev
  • Chain: Combo: Assembler Matrix and pattern buffers (AE2 automation)
  • Uses: gtceu:ruthenium_dust, gtceu:cleanroom_glass, gtceu:micro_processor_computer
  • Makes: expatternprovider:assembler_matrix_frame
  • Power: EV assembler 1 920 EU/t per piece
  • Watch out:
    • All matrix pieces are EV assembler recipes; ruthenium (platinum line) and plascrete (cleanroom) are the gates; the pattern / crafter / speed blocks need an IV-voltage alloy.
    • Smart blocking comes from ExpandedAE, not plain AE2.

Extreme Chemical Reactor with a parallel hatch

  • Module key: plan:cb_ecr · step 104 · combo for era luv
  • Chain: Combo: Extreme Chemical Reactor with a parallel hatch
  • Uses: gtceu:micro_processor_mainframe, gtceu:iv_emitter, gtceu:naquadah_ingot
  • Makes: gtceu:extreme_chemical_reactor
  • Watch out:
    • Only the ECR (not the LCR) takes a parallel hatch (IV to UV), and that hatch is never shared.
    • IV circuit, but naquadah pipes/plates/wire: in practice after the naquadah line.

Modular Combustion Frame with SCM / SRM modules

  • Module key: plan:cb_mcf · step 105 · combo for era zpm
  • Chain: Combo: Modular Combustion Frame with combustion and rocket modules
  • Uses: gtceu:luv_machine_hull, gtceu:zpm_machine_hull, gtceu:quantum_processor_mainframe, gtceu:research_station
  • Makes: start_core:modular_combustion_frame, start_core:zpm_combustion_module
  • Power: SCM up to 786 432 EU/t, SRM up to 4 194 304 EU/t per module (with oxidiser)
  • Watch out:
    • Up to 8 modules per frame; cooling +20 % distilled / +40 % deionized water.
    • The community "288 A ZPM / 384 A UV" figures are not reproducible from the pack data.
