Implosion Compressor

The Implosion Compressor is an HV tier multiblock for compressing plates and dusts with explosives. The Implosion Compressor is technically craftable in MV, but its main purpose is providing compressed plates for rockets in HV+ and refining dusts into gems. The machine produces 10,000 gibbl/s in pollution while active, but recipes are very quick so it is not running very frequently at all. The Implosion Compressor is superseded by the Density^2 in IV.

Construction

The Implosion Compressor consists of a single type of casing and has no tiered components. Buses/hatches may replace any casing anywhere on the structure. Explosion hazard sign blocks may also replace any casing anywhere on the structure although they are purely decorative and have no effect on the operation of the machine. 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 center, 2nd layer
  • 16-20 Solid Steel Machine Casing
  • 1+ Energy Hatch: Any casing
  • 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any casing
  • 1 Muffler Hatch: Any casing
  • 1+ Input Bus: Any casing
  • 1+ Output Bus: Any casing

Wallsharing

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

Usage

Implosion Compressor recipes are all LV and require one of the explosives listed below. The number of explosives depends on the type and recipe. Powderbarrels are needed in much higher quantities than the others, but the gunpowder is very easy to craft from carbon, sulfur, and saltpeter. TNT and industrial TNT are mostly just toluene which is obtained by distilling wood tar and/or heavy fuel. Dynamite is mostly just glycerol which is a renewable resource from seed/fish oil. The best and most renewable option, however, is using the explosive bee to passively generate industrial TNT directly without any chemistry.
