Large Essentia Generator

Large Essentia Generator

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.

Large Essentia Generator Overview

Setup

The setup of this multiblock is a bit tricky as it is in the early phases of development and is constructed as follows:

1. 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)
2. Layer 2 consists of a ring of Magic Casings and essentia diffusion cells. They come in four different tiers, EV: novice, 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 worthwhile.
3. 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.
4. The four pillars as shown with Arcane Stone Bricks and four Amber Bricks.

   

   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 the Reactor:

To start the LEG you may first install the essentia generator upgrade, that will establish the set of essentias and special fluids to work with, for example Essentia Generator: Thermal. This step is not necessary, but usually lets you increase essentia fuel efficiency by applying multipliers from special fluids. Installation of the upgrade is done by right-clicking the controller with the upgrade. Pay attention, as the installed upgrade is not displayed anywhere, you only receive the message in chat during installation.

Then you must 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. Tip: 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, and a special fluid to Input Hatch, if necessary.

Essentia Input:

Essentia Type	EU/Essentia	Requires Upgrade?	Estimated Output in EU/t
Terra	800	no
Aqua	5000	no
Ordo	1200	no
Lux	1200	no
Tempestas	61200	no	±1.000.000 EU/t
Taint	4000	yes	up to 64*512.000 EU/t

Power boosting:

The Energy output of the LEG can be greatly increased by attaching Upgrades to it. This consumes a variety of different liquids to multiply the EU output at the cost of the additional liquid.

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.

The lowest fuel value for this upgrade is Vitium (taint) with 4700EU.. Total output of 1 Vitium aspect = 4700*10*(25000/4700)^4 = 37,624,129 EU. However tests have shown up to
