Hyper-Intensity Laser Engraver

The Hyper-Intensity Laser Engraver (HILE) is an IV tier multiblock for laser engraving wafers, gems, and other delicate items. The HILE is a direct upgrade from the singleblock precision laser engraver because it runs at 350% speed, only uses 80% of the EU/t normally required, and offers parallels equal to the cube root of the laser source hatch amperage. The voltage tier of the laser source hatch (plus one) determines the maximum recipe tier and the maximum number of overclocks. It does NOT receive or transmit power like a typical laser energy hatch. As with all multiblocks, the HILE automatically fulfills the "Needs Cleanroom" requirement. Input separation should be enabled on the HILE for using different lenses within the same machine.

Construction

The HILE has two tiered components. The amperage of the laser source hatch determines the number of parallels and the voltage determines the maximum recipe tier ( Hatch Tier + 1 {\displaystyle {\displaystyle {\text{Hatch Tier}}+1}} ), but the latter is limited by the tier of the glass. UEV+ laser source hatches unlock the ability to use ONE multi-amp energy hatch instead of a regular energy hatch. The remaining buses/hatches may replace any casing anywhere on the structure. Use a screwdriver on the controller to disable animations, or a wire cutter to toggle realism mode and straighten the laser. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannel "glass" to specify the tier of the glass.

Structure

  • Controller: Front bottom center
  • 35-58 Laser Containment Casing
  • 9 Tungstensteel Frame Box
  • 3 Any Tiered Glass (Tiered)
  • 1 Laser Resistant Plate
  • 1 Laser Source Hatch: Casing above glass
  • 1+ Energy Hatch: Any casing
  • 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any casing
  • 1+ Input Bus/Hatch: Any casing
  • 1+ Output Bus/Hatch: Any casing

Wallsharing

HILEs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, frame boxes, and buses/hatches. That includes the laser source hatch with another HILE directly overhead and upside down. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

Usage

The HILE is a direct upgrade from the singleblock precision laser engraver because it runs at 350% speed, only uses 80% of the EU/t normally required, and offers parallels equal to the cube root of the laser source hatch amperage, as seen in the following table. The last column is exclusive to the legendary laser source hatch.

Parallels 6 10 16 25 40 64 101 161 256 812

The voltage of the laser source hatch determines both the maximum recipe tier and the maximum number of overclocks, as seen by the following equations. This means that both the amperage and the voltage are extremely important and improve the performance of the machine.

Max Recipe Tier = Laser Voltage Tier + 1 {\displaystyle {\displaystyle {\text{Max Recipe Tier}}={\text{Laser Voltage Tier}}+1}}

Max Overclocks = Laser Voltage Tier − Recipe Tier + 1 {\displaystyle {\displaystyle {\text{Max Overclocks}}={\text{Laser Voltage Tier}}-{\text{Recipe Tier}}+1}}

Input separation should be enabled on the HILE to prevent SOLID ingredients in different input buses from being used in the same recipe, including any lens. That means a single HILE with many input buses can support many different lenses simultaneously. Just don't forget to stay above the minimum number of laser containment casings. FLUID ingredients are always shared regardless of input separation, unless the input hatch is colored.
