Various Ideas for GT #33

Open HadesRayne opened 1 year ago

HadesRayne commented 1 year ago

Greetings. I have had a lot of random ideas about GT content in the past. As I didn't want to spam the issue tracker, I made a single issue listing them all.

-Shafts : component like rods or long rods. These were derived from I believe IC2 ? Extruded from an entire block with appropriate mold, it could replace long rods in late game motor recipes.

-Neutron Cracker : A multi that is essentially an inverse fusion reactor. Whereas the Fusion Reactor turns two inputs into an heavier one, the Neutron Cracker takes in a specific fluid, such as "Neutron Cracking Slurry", and uses it to split an element into two lighter ones.

-Netherite and Ender Acid : these two involves complex processing chains from Netherrack and Endstone Dust respectively, detailed further down. These would be roughly EV-tier. Netherite is primarily for upgraded EBF / ABS casings (not coils, the Invar / ZrC casings), which grants a 20% speed boost. Ender Acid is... well originally it was to quickdeplete nuclear rods without bothering with a nuclear reactor, and make easy Dragon's Breath, but other uses could be found.

-One-step Large Wiremill recipes for cables : For GCYM.

-Direct dust-to-gem autoclave multi recipes for all gem tiers

-Component Assembly Line : I really liked GCYL's idea of assline for cheaper components, but it wasn't the most practical. The Component Assembly Line would be an optional multi that uses tiered casings. It would produce components at the same cost as the crafting table / assembler, albeit by set of 8, but has recipes 2 tier aboves (so HV for LV components) that allow production by 16 for an cheaper per-component cost.

-Tiered Assline casings in general, with a speed boost of some kind for using higher tiers. Whether or not this hard gates voltages like GCYL's component blocks... maybe a config option ?

-Scarletite : Oh boy, here's a big one. So, this involves a long and complicated processing chain as well, at least UXV- if not OpV-tier. The primary boon are Scarletite Coils, which offer overwhelming heat capacity (I was thinking 25000, but it could be a config option.) It also offers the World-Scorcher Furnace (upgraded Multismelter than cooks everything in its input hatch in a single tick and requires no power), and maybe a Fluid Heater variant of it. Also, I know, the name for the material is... probably not the best.

-Magnesite Bricked Blast Furnace : Derived from another modpack (IMPACT, for the curious), this was intended as a BBF with quadruple speed. I believe GCYL already had something better, however.

-The Supreme Ore Separator : all-in-one ore processing ? Thing is I saw there were plans for reworking the ore processing, so it may end up pointless. Still... It would be uses Darmstadtium casings. Another side ability it possesses is to one-step certain ore purification chains.

-Alternate Void Miners, and Void Pumps too. So, the idea here is to use Air / Nether Air / Ender Air in order to indicate the dimension, and then a circuit to cycle between veins / fluids. These void miners only dig up one vein instead of all at the same time, making them more precise, but also weaker. There could be multiple tiers of them. It could be possible to replace the circuit by another item, non-consumed item in certain cases ? It might be too complex to implement.

For the chain details, I'm not much of a flowchart person, and a bunch of steps are missing, but here are the basic ideas.

Netherite :

Chemical bath Netherrack dust with mercury (get gold depleted netherrack dust, and a gold amalgam) Two Chemical reactor steps, although I'm not sure with what. 1st step ; get chalcophiles depleted netherrack and drained netherrack sulfides 2nd step : get lithophile depleted netherrack and oxidized lithophile mix Chemical bath with an appropriate base (get neutralized netherite compound and another byproduct) Implosion Compress (get compressed netherite compound and blasted byproducts) Macerate compressed compound into impure netherite with a small pile of nether star dust Blast Furnace impure netherite compound with liquid gold into Mixed-quality Netherite Alloy

DT : 100mb Mixed-Quality Netherite Alloy into 60mb Low-quality, 30mb Medium-Quality and 10mb High-Quality Netherite alloys. The proportions and amounts might have to be reworked.

From there, DT and loop, the LQ / MQ Netherite Alloys replacing the liquid gold at... I dunno, respectively 3/4 and 1/2 ?

The High Quality alloy is solidified, macerated, and centrifuged into Netherite and Gold. An alloy of Netherite could be used for ABS casings instead of the pure one.

Ender Acid

Firstly, an assembler recipe should be added to make Dragon's Breath from Dragon Head (consumed, it's not intended to be the primary method for Ender Acid) and a Glass Bottle, and an extraction recipe for 250 mb of Ender Acid from Dragon's Breath.

Then, from endstone dust : Fluid Extract (get helium-drained endstone and some helium) Chembath with nitric acid (get platinum group sludge and nitrated endstone dust) Not sure what here (separate tungstate) Centrifuge (get metal-free endstone dust, some nitric acid components, byproducts) Fluid Extract (get helium-free endstone dust, more helium) Chembath with another acid (give separated ender acid compound et neutralized endstone remains, which include the remaining Nitric Acid components) Loop the Ender Acid chembath (turn 250mb Ender Acid into 300mb)

Scarletite :

You need to chemplant Unrefined Scarletite and Dragon Blood with a Scarletite Synthesis Circuitry Array as catalyst in order to make Molten Scarletite, which must be solidified into a Scorching Hot Scarletite Ingot, then VF'd.

Mix together Orichalcum and a bunch of other dusts (not sure which ones. will need to be high-tier, however), Netherite and Ender Acid for Raw Scarletite Compound. T3/T4 Advanced-Fusion it with an high-tier Plasma into Unrefined Scarletite. Make Draconic Marrow Cells from a non-consumed Dragon Egg and a long process, and use these to Bioreactor Dragon Blood. I don't know enough about bioengineering or hemoglobin synthesis to give pointers here, especially since this is a very high-tier recipe. For the Scarletite Synthesis Circuitry Array, you need 16 OpV circuits, a ton of Orichalcum, and a wide variety of other, appropriately tiered stuff.
