Into MV

Phase id: p5 · Era: MV

MV hulls and MV components built on LV power. Typical pace (community reports, not independent samples): players report about 5 days in MV (median of 7 runs, range 1 to 17).

Cupronickel coils

  • Module key: plan:coils · step 28
  • Chain: Cupronickel coils ×16
  • Uses: gtceu:cupronickel_ingot, gtceu:bronze_ingot
  • Makes: gtceu:cupronickel_coil_block
  • Watch out:
    • 16 coils = 128 double wires + 128 foils + 2304 mB tin alloy.
    • The Electric Blast Furnace (aluminium, steel with oxygen, wafers) needs them.

Aluminium ingots

  • Module key: plan:aluminium · step 29
  • Chain: Infinite aluminium (clay)
  • Makes: gtceu:aluminium_dust, gtceu:aluminium_ingot, gtceu:silicon_dust
  • Stock: gtceu:aluminium_ingot in 64
  • Watch out:
    • Pack recipe: 11 sodalite dust → 3 aluminium dust + 3 silicon dust in an electrolyzer (30 EU/t, 26 s). Sodalite comes from the Void Extractor.
    • Aluminium has blast temperature 1700 K: dust → ingot only in the EBF (120 EU/t); cupronickel coils are enough.
    • The clay route in the chain needs the MV Electrolyzer, so on LV power use the sodalite route first.

MV hulls + transformer

  • Module key: plan:mvhull · step 30
  • Chain: MV hull line (Create mechanical crafters)
  • Uses: gtceu:aluminium_ingot, gtceu:wrought_iron_plate, gtceu:copper_single_cable
  • Makes: gtceu:mv_machine_hull, gtceu:lv_transformer_1a
  • Stock: gtceu:mv_machine_hull in 8
  • Watch out:
    • Aluminium comes first: the casing is 8 aluminium plates (EBF 1700 K, 120 EU/t, cupronickel coils) and the assembler hull adds 288 mB polyethylene.
    • MV casing in the LV assembler (circuit 8).
    • Run MV machines through an LV transformer on step-up.

MV components (on LV machines)

  • Module key: plan:mvcomp · step 31
  • Chain: MV components on LV machines
  • Uses: gtceu:aluminium_ingot, gtceu:cupronickel_ingot, gtceu:steel_rod, gtceu:copper_single_cable
  • Makes: gtceu:mv_electric_motor, gtceu:mv_electric_piston, gtceu:mv_conveyor_module, gtceu:mv_electric_pump
  • Stock: gtceu:mv_electric_motor in 32
  • Watch out:
    • All MV component recipes are 30 EU/t: LV assemblers make them.
    • MV robot arms wait for MV circuits.
