The Large Essentia Generator (LEG) is a [[multiblock]] power generator
===
The research for the LEG can be found in the Artifice tab of the Thaumonomicon, with the Artifice: Infusion parent research.
== Multiblock Structure ==
[[File:LEG Overview.png|thumb|Large Essentia Generator Overview|303x303px]]
[[File:Layer1.png|thumb|LEG Layer 1: Hatches can replace any Magic Casing in the centered plus shape. ]]
#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.
#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 which cannot be mixed in the multiblock structure. 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 Diffusion Cells ==
The 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. They cannot be mixed.

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 8 categories: Radiation, Sprite, Mechanics, Tainted, Victus, Unstable, Thermal, and Air. The upgrades' names are formatted as "Essentia Generator: [Category]" (i.e., <span style="color:red">Essentia Generator: Thermal</span>). Installation of the upgrade is done by right-clicking the controller with the upgrade, and multiple upgrades can be applied to a LEG. Warning: the installed upgrade is not displayed anywhere, the message in chat is only displayed during installation, and upgrades cannot be retrieved or removed.
== 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.
== 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 Point}}{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.
