Industrial Forming Press

The Industrial Forming Press (IFP) is an EV tier multiblock for pressing metals into molds. The IFP is a direct upgrade from the singleblock forming press because it runs at 600% speed and offers 6 parallels per voltage tier. Input separation should be enabled on the IFP for using different molds and programmed circuits within the same machine.

Construction

The IFP has no tiered components. Buses/hatches may replace any metalworking machine casing anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure.

Structure

  • Controller: Front bottom center
  • 5-20 Metalworking Machine Casing
  • 6 Titanium Frame Box
  • 6 Steel Pipe Casing
  • 5 Forming Core
  • 1 Titanium Gear Box Casing
  • 1+ Energy Hatch: Any machine casing
  • 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any machine casing
  • 1 Muffler Hatch: Any machine casing
  • 1+ Input Bus: Any machine casing
  • 0+ Input Hatch: Any machine casing
  • 1+ Output Bus: Any machine casing

Wallsharing

IFPs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, forming cores, and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

Usage

The IFP is a direct upgrade from the singleblock forming press because it runs at 600% speed and offers 6 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following table.

LV MV HV EV IV LuV ZPM UV UHV UEV UIV UMV UXV MAX MAX+
Parallels 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60 66 72 78 84 90

Input separation should be enabled on the IFP to prevent SOLID ingredients in different input buses from being used in the same recipe, including any molds or programmed circuits. That means a single IFP with many input buses can support many different molds or programmed circuits simultaneously. Just don't forget to stay above the minimum number of metalworking machine casings. The plate mold (for mica based sheets) and all four AE2 circuit presses can occupy the same input bus without any conflicts.
