Density^2

The Density^2 is an IV tier multiblock for compressing plates and dusts with explosives. The Density^2 is a direct upgrade from the Implosion Compressor because it runs at 200% speed, produces half the pollution, and offers one parallel for every two voltage tiers. The Density^2 is superseded by the Electric Implosion Compressor in UHV.

Construction

The Density^2 has no tiered components. Buses/hatches may replace any tungstensteel 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 center, 2nd layer
  • 80 Refined Graphite Block
  • 50-60 Robust Tungstensteel Machine Casing
  • 24 Tungstensteel Frame Box
  • 4 Gold Sheetmetal
  • 4 Gold Frame Box
  • 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

Density^2s may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, frame boxes, refined graphite blocks, and buses/hatches. However, that does NOT include the large graphite ball due to the gold sheetmetal. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

Usage

The Density^2 is a direct upgrade from the Implosion Compressor because it produces half the pollution, operates twice as fast, and offers one parallel for every two voltage tiers, as seen in the following table.

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 a lot of industrial TNT directly--no chemistry needed.
