Industrial Cutting Factory

The Industrial Cutting Factory (ICF) is an IV tier multiblock for cutting rods, wafers, blocks, and more. The ICF is a direct upgrade from the singleblock cutting machine because it runs up to 450% speed, uses as little as 60% of the EU/t normally required, and offers up to 6 parallels per voltage tier. The exact bonuses and the maximum tier of the energy hatches depend on the tier of the sawblade in the controller. Only one sawblade is required and all four tiers have unlimited durability--they are a one time cost to upgrade the machine. The transcendent metal sawblade is the most powerful and unlocks the ability to use one multi-amp energy hatch instead of regular energy hatches. Input separation should be enabled on the ICF for using different programmed circuits and/or non-consumables within the same machine.

Construction

The ICF has no tiered components. The glass can be any tier and has no effect on the operation on the machine. Buses/hatches may replace any casing anywhere on the structure. Laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. One multi-amp energy hatch is allowed if using a transcendent metal sawblade. Use a screwdriver on the controller to disable animations. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannel "glass" to specify the tier of the glass.

Structure

  • Controller: Front left, 2nd layer
  • 10-29 Cutting Factory Frame
  • 18 Tantalum Carbide Frame Box
  • 16 Any Tiered Glass
  • 13 Black Steel Sheetmetal
  • 1+ Energy Hatch: Any cutting factory frame
  • 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any cutting factory frame
  • 1 Muffler Hatch: Any cutting factory frame
  • 1+ Input Bus: Any cutting factory frame
  • 1+ Input Hatch: Any cutting factory frame
  • 1+ Output Bus: Any cutting factory frame

Wallsharing

ICFs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, frame boxes, glass, 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 ICF is a direct upgrade from the singleblock cutting machine because it runs up to 450% speed, uses as little as 60% of the EU/t normally required, and offers up to 6 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following table. The exact bonuses and the maximum tier of the energy hatches depend on the tier of the sawblade in the controller.

A sawblade is required in the controller to run any recipes in the ICF. All four tiers have unlimited durability--they are a one time cost to upgrade the machine. Stacking multiple together in the controller has no effect on the operation of the machine. The transcendent metal sawblade is the most powerful and unlocks the ability to use one multi-amp energy hatch instead of regular energy hatches.

Input separation should be enabled on the ICF to prevent SOLID ingredients in different input buses from being used in the same recipe, including any programmed circuits or the slicer blade. That means a single ICF with many input buses can support many different programmed circuits simultaneously. Just don't forget to stay above the minimum number of cutting factory frames. FLUID ingredients are always shared regardless of input separation, unless the input hatch is colored.
