GT New Horizons · Ludicrous Voltage (LuV)
Mega Chemical Reactor
The Mega Chemical Reactor (MCR) is an LuV tier multiblock for performing even larger and more advanced chemical reactions. The MCR is a direct upgrade from the Large Chemical Reactor because it offers 256 parallels, supports multi-amp and laser energy hatches for serious overclocking, and has unlimited tier skips. That means it can run any recipe regardless of voltage as long as there is enough power. Expect to only build a few of these because they scale so well.
Construction
The MCR has one tiered component. The glass determines the maximum tier of the energy hatch, but there is no limit on the amperage. The fusion coil blocks may be replaced with eternal heating coils if preferred. Buses/hatches may replace any chemically inert machine casing anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are supported for serious overclocking, but the latter requires at least UV tier glass. 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
- 0-79 Chemically Inert Machine Casing
- 64 Any Tiered Glass (Tiered)
- 28 PTFE Pipe Casing
- 7 Fusion Coil Block or Eternal Heating Coil
- 1+ Energy Hatch: Any casing
- 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any casing
- 1+ Input Bus/Hatch: Any casing
- 1+ Output Bus/Hatch: Any casing
Wallsharing
MCRs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings and buses/hatches. However, do not share the energy hatch because the machine pulls as many amps as possible while there are still parallels or overclocks available.
Usage
The MCR is a direct upgrade from the Large Chemical Reactor because it offers 256 parallels, supports multi-amp and laser energy hatches for serious overclocking, and has unlimited tier skips. That means it can run any recipe regardless of voltage as long as there is enough power.
