Heat & Reactors
These blocks deal with the Heat system and nuclear power. Heaters produce Heat; heat machines (like the Blast Furnace) consume it; reactors generate energy and must be cooled.
Heat System
Heat is a separate resource from energy. It is produced by heaters and pushed to the block in front of them. Heat machines must be fully heated before they work.
Electric Heater
Converts energy into Heat. Tier 4 machine (capacity 3000 E).
Usage: Insert Coil items into the 10 coil slots. Each Coil converts 10 E → 10 Heat per tick. The heater pushes heat out its facing side to an adjacent heat machine.
Solid Fuel Heater
Burns solid fuel to produce 10 Heat/tick (pauses when heat is full). Tier 1 machine.
Usage: Put solid fuel in the input slot. Ashes are produced as a byproduct in the output slot. Pushes heat out its facing side.
Blast Furnace
A heat + fluid-consuming smelter. Tier 1 machine. Must reach 50,000 Heat to work; receives heat from a heater placed in front of it. Consumes fluid per recipe (e.g. compressed air) and outputs up to 2 slots. Process time: 6000 ticks.
Recipes
| Input | Primary Output | Secondary Output | Fluid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Ingot | Steel Ingot | Slag | Compressed Air (1000 mB) |
| Glass Pane | Empty Vessel | — | Compressed Air (1000 mB) |
Sacred Generator (Sacred Reactor)
A 3×3 reactor grid. Tier 3 output, capacity 4096 E.
Usage:
- Needs a redstone signal and a fuel rod in the center slot (index 4).
- Produces
rodCount × 128E per pulse and generates heat. - The 8 outer slots hold cooling components (coolant cells, heat vents, heat exchangers) that dissipate heat and take durability.
- 4 battery slots (10–13).
⚠️ Danger: If heat reaches 5000 the reactor melts down with a 100-radius explosion. Keep it cooled!
