Boldarnator

The Boldarnator is an IV tier multiblock for creating and harvesting basic rocks. The Boldarnator is a direct upgrade from the singleblock rock breaker because it runs at 300% speed, only uses 75% of the EU/t normally required, and offers 8 parallels per voltage tier. Cobblestone, stone, basalt, and cobbled deepslate are all completely free aside from some required non-consumable items. Obsidian consumes 1 redstone dust per operation and netherrack consumes 1 glowstone dust per operation. Nether leaves and ender leaves both have a 10% chance of being consumed per operation and none of their outputs are guaranteed.

Construction

The Boldarnator has no tiered components. The glass can be any tier and has no effect on the operation of the machine. Buses/hatches may replace any casing anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. The lava and water are spawned for free once the structure is formed and therefore does NOT need to be placed manually. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannel "glass" to specify the tier of the glass.

Structure

Controller: Front center, 3rd layer
50-55 Thermal Processing Casing
36 Tungsten Frame Box
12 Any Tiered Glass
1+ Energy Hatch: Any casing
1 Maintenance Hatch: Any casing
1 Muffler Hatch: Any casing
0+ Input Bus: Any casing
1+ Output Bus: Any casing

Wallsharing

Boldarnators may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, glass, frameboxes, and buses/hatches. That includes the tanks on either side, but the fluids cannot be switched without horizontally flipping one of the controllers first (sneak right-click with a wrench). No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

Usage

The Boldarnator is a direct upgrade from the singleblock rock breaker because it runs at 300% speed, only uses 75% of the EU/t normally required, and offers 8 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following table.

Recipes

The Boldarnator has only eight available recipes, listed below by their programmed circuit (PC) value. Water and lava are both displayed as required non-consumable fluids in NEI, but they are taken directly from the tanks on either side of the structure and therefore do not need to be present in an input hatch to run.

Cobblestone, stone, basalt, and cobbled deepslate are all completely free aside from the required non-consumable items. Obsidian consumes 1 redstone dust per operation and netherrack consumes 1 glowstone dust per operation. Nether leaves and ender leaves both have a 10% chance of being consumed per operation and none of their outputs are guaranteed.

PC	Non-Consumables	Input	Output
	None	None	1 Cobblestone
	None	None	1 Stone
	None	1 Redstone Dust	1 Obsidian
	Soul Sand & Blue Ice	None	1 Basalt
	Soul Sand & Magma Block	None	1 Cobbled Deepslate
	None	1 Glowstone Dust	1 Netherrack
	None	Nether Leaves (10%)	1 Netherrack (60%), 1 Soul Sand (30%), 1 Nether Quartz Ore (10%)
	None	Ender Leaves (10%)	1 Endstone (90%), 1 Obsidian (10%)

Applications

The Boldarnator is particularly useful for a cobblestone to silicon processing line. Crush the cobblestone into gravel and then again into sand. Electrolyze the sand into silicon dioxide dust and react it with magnesium dust to obtain an endless supply of silicon. The magnesia dust can be electrolyzed back into magnesium dust in a closed-loop system with no loss and unlimited oxygen as a byproduct.

The Boldarnator is also useful for producing cobblestone for Thaumcraft saplings which automatically convert cobblestone into soul sand (nether sapling) or end stone (end sapling). Centrifuge the soul sand for unlimited saltpeter, coal dust, sand, and oil. Centrifuge the end stone dust for unlimited tungstate, platinum metallic powder, sand, and helium. A video tutorial on setting this up can be found here.

Other uses for the Boldarnator include producing enough obsidian for the Ender Quarry in LuV and enough cobblestone for bedrockium in UV (26,244 cobblestone per ingot).

Trivia

The lava and water spawned by the controller can be collected with buckets for an infinite amount of both fluids.
