[[File:LEG Overview.png|thumb|Large Essentia Generator Overview|303x303px]]
The Large Essentia Generator (LEG) is a power generator for late game starting EV+. It can generate a vast amount of power and supply hundreds of amps of ZPM or higher. It consumes essentia (provided via essentia tubes or an AE network with an essentia provider) and can be boosted to create even more EU/essentia consumed.
The Large Essentia Generator (LEG) is a [[multiblock]] power generator added by the [[Good Generator]] mod crafted in [[EV]] tier that consumes certain types of [[Thaumcraft]] essentia to generate power. There also exist several upgrades which allow the LEG to consume external fluids to boost the efficiency of some types of essentia or allow some previously unusable kinds of essentia to be consumed.

===Setup Research ===
The research for the LEG can be found in the Artifice tab of the Thaumonomicon, with the Artifice: Infusion parent research.
The setup of this multiblock is a bit tricky as it is in the early phases of development and is constructed as follows:
#Base Layer: This layer consists of Magic Casings and Arcane Stone Bricks. It is important to not that all hatches for this multiblock can only replace the four corner Magic Casings in layer 1. That means this multi can have at most 4 hatches: (Maintenance Hatch, Essentia Input Hatch, Dynamo/Laser Output Hatch and Input Hatch)
#Layer 2 consists of a ring of Magic Casings and essentia diffusion cells. They come in four different tiers, EV: novic, IV: Adept, LuV: Master, ZPM: Grand-Master which in turn dictate the tier of the dynamo hatch. They cannot be mixed. It is recommended to craft adept casings at least in order for the setup to be worth while.
#Layer 3: On the top center is the controller block: This is the Good Generators Large Essentia Generator, the vanilla Gregtech one does not currently work and will be removed in the future.
#The four pillars as shown with Arcane Stone Bricks and four Amber Bricks. [[File:Layer1.png|thumb|LEG Layer 1: The only 4 hatch locations are the outward facing magic casings in this layer. ]]
NOTE: Allowable hatches: Maintenance hatch and Auto Maintenance Hatch, any Input Hatch (eg. for liquids), any dynamo hatch (matching the diffusion cells, max is 64A UV hatch), and the Essentia Input hatch from Good Generators Mod. (the others won`t work")
 
===Start theMultiblock Reactor:Structure ===
[[File:Layer1.png|thumb|LEG Layer 1: Hatches can replace any Magic Casing in the centered plus shape. ]]
To start the LEG you must first attune the Essentia Input Hatch to the aspect to be consumed. This can be done by right clicking the Essentia Input Hatch with a phial filled with the essentia to be consumed.
 
#Layer 1: Consists of Magic Casings and Arcane Stone Bricks. Fluid Input Hatches, Essentia Input Hatches, [[Maintenance]] Hatches, and Dynamo Hatches can replace any of the magic casings in the middle plus shape on this layer.
Tipp: You can check if the attunement has worked by using an Essentia Resonator from Thaumcraft. Finally supply the essentia, either via essentia tubes or with an Essentia Provider from Thaumic Energistics.
#Layer 2: Consists of a ring of Magic Casings and Essentia Diffusion Cells, and Arcane Stone Bricks on the outer pillars. Essentia Diffusion Cells come in four different [[tier]]s and can be mixed. See the Essentia Diffusion Cells section below.
#Layer 3: Consists of the controller block on the top center, and Amber Bricks on the outer pillars.
 
==== Essentia Input:Diffusion Cells ====
The minimum tier of the Essentia Diffusion Cells dictates the maximum Dynamo Hatch tier the LEG can accept. Higher tiers also improve efficiency via the StablePoint mechanic. The total stable value of a LEG is the sum of the StablePoints contributed by each Diffusion Cell.

== Upgrades ==
The optional LEG upgrades allow the LEG to consume external fluid to boost the EU value of some essentias or allow them to be consumed at all. These essentias come in 9 categories: Radiation, Spirit, Mechanics, Tainted, Victus, Unstable, Thermal, Air, and Electric. The upgrades' names are formatted as "Essentia Generator: [Category]" (i.e., <span style="color:red">Essentia Generator: Thermal</span>). Installation of an upgrade is done by right-clicking the controller with the upgrade, and multiple upgrades can be applied to a LEG.
 
Liquid is optional for Victus, Tainted, Spirit, and Radiation, and not used in Electric.
 
Warning: any installed upgrades are not displayed anywhere, a message in chat is only displayed during installation, upgrades cannot be retrieved or removed, and breaking the controller voids all upgrades.
 
== Essentia Input ==
Before running the LEG, the Essentia Input Hatch must be attuned to the desired essentia. This can be done by right clicking the Essentia Input Hatch with a phial filled with that essentia. The Thaumcraft Essentia Resonator can check if the attunement was successful. Essentia can be provided using either Essentia Tubes or the Thaumic Energistics Essentia Provider.
 
== Tainted Upgrade Mechanics ==
Using the essentias and fluids in the Tainted category is supposed to cause flux gas pollution around the LEG. The volume spawned is a random fluid level from 0-8. The spawn chance per essentia consumed is dependent on the fluid used.

!Fluid !! Flux Gas Spawn Chance per Aspect Consumed

| None || 20%

|Taint
|4000
|yes
|up to 64*512.000 EU/t
|-
| Liquid Death || 40%
|
|}
 
|
However, this behavior is currently bugged and the LEG will attempt to spawn the flux gas at a random coordinate in the range x=0-4, y=0, z=0-4 wherever there is open air; in the overworld, this will likely fail due to the presence of bedrock at y=0.
|
 
== Output ==
The LEG will always try to output the highest voltage it can at 1A before outputting more amps.
 
As of 2.6.1 (drawn from GitHub, GT5U repository):
 
The formula for EU generated per essentia is
 
<math>{\frac{\text{Fuel Value} \times \text{Fluid Efficiency} \times \text{Stable Value}}{25}}</math>
 
The formula for fluid drained per essentia is
 
<math>{\text{Category Fluid Volume} \times \text{Essentia (Drain) Coefficient}}</math>
 
The Thaumonomicon entries gives an incorrect basic consuming speed in a rate of seconds; in reality, fluid consumption is proportional to essentia consumption (the "Upgrade your generator" entry also does somewhat imply this). The source code instead has "Category Fluid Volumes" that are the fluid consumption rates in the Thaumonomicon divided by 20.
 
*Fluid Efficiency: higher is better
*Category Fluid Volume: lower is better
*Drain Coefficient: lower is better

The Endgame setup for the LEG consists of attaching the tained upgrade to the LEG. It multiplies the power output x10 as base when consuming liquid death and on top of that by a factor: (25000/Base Fuel value)^4.

Remark: Flowing Spirit is more efficient than Hollow Tears for Spirit when stable value is (strictly) greater than 150.
