Draconic Evolution Fusion Crafter

The Draconic Evolution Fusion Crafter (DEFC) is a UHV tier multiblock for crafting various Draconic Evolution components and molten dragonblood. The DEFC is the pinnacle of magic mods within GTNH because it requires a T5 Blood Altar, shards from the Convocation of the Damned ritual, gaia spirit ingots from the Gaia Guardian, a primordial pearl, stacks of ichorium, and stacks of void metal. Some optional recipes even require an infinity egg. In other words, the player must max out Blood Magic, Thaumcraft, and Botania just to build the machine and perhaps Witchery to improve its efficiency. The DEFC is the only machine capable of crafting awakened and chaotic cores and therefore mandatory for progression in UXV when crafting Stargate components, although it is highly recommended to build earlier for manufacturing dragonblood.

The tier of the DEFC corresponds to the tier of the fusion casings circling horizontally around the machine. There are five tiers in total and each one unlocks new recipes and/or reduces the length of lower tier recipes. There are also two tiers of fusion machine casings that surround the central column, but those are only requirements for the machine to form. T1-T2 require fusion machine casing Mk-I and T3-T5 require fusion machine casing Mk-II . Multi-amp 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 where the projector stack size determines both the fusion casing tier and the fusion machine casing tier.

Structure

• Controller: Front bottom center
• 19-45 Naquadah Alloy Fusion Casing
• 32 Fusion Casing (Tiered)
• 32 Fusion Machine Casing (Tiered)
• 8 Fusion Coil Block
• 1+ Energy Hatch: Any bottom casing
• 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any bottom casing
• 1+ Input Bus/Hatch: Any bottom casing
• 1+ Output Bus/Hatch: Any bottom casing

Wallsharing

DEFCs may wallshare each of their sides to save on fusion casings and buses/hatches. This is highly recommended because the fusion casings are the most expensive part of the structure. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

All DEFC recipes require a minimum tier fusion casing to run, as seen in NEI. Every tier above the minimum grants one perfect overclock and there is no cap to the amount of imperfect overclocks beyond that. For example, running a T1 recipe with T5 casings grants four perfect overclocks and additional power can speed that up even further with imperfect overclocks. The following table lists all the available recipes by their minimum tier fusion casing.

Most recipes in the DEFC also require a non-consumable schematic. The first one, the draconic core schematic, can be found in Pluto dungeons or from a Mk-III Mining Module on a Space Elevator. The remaining schematics are crafted in the Assembly Line.

One of the crafting ingredients for chaotic cores is large chaos fragments. They are obtained from either the Draconic Reactor OR chaos crystals at the center of chaos islands in the End. These islands only spawn where the x and z coordinates are both a multiple of 10,000 (ie. x=10,000 and z=0). Use the Chaos Locator or the following teleport command to help cover the distance. They appear similar to the main island except the Ender Dragon is replaced with the much more powerful Chaos Guardian. The fight is also very similar with more obsidian towers topped with chaos crystals that heal the guardian and even respawn a few minutes after being destroyed.

The Chaos Guardian is very strong and kills the player immediately (even in creative mode) unless equipped with one of the following armor sets. Also try crafting a sword of the cosmos to instantly kill the Chaos Guardian with a single hit.

• Draconic Armor and several draconic energy cores
• GraviChestPlate with an activated Quantum Shield
• A full set of infinity armor.

Upon defeat, the obsidian towers collapse and the barrier around the chaos crystal at the center of the island (underground) is lowered. The chaos crystal can be broken with any pickaxe to drop 5 chaos shards, OR specifically the World Breaker (WB) pickaxe to drop 20 chaos shards. Once the crystal is destroyed, the entire island destabilizes and explodes in a massive burst of energy just 35 seconds later. The explosion deals a tremendous amount of damage if caught in the blast radius.

The following table lists how many chaos shards and chaos islands are required for building a certain number of T5 DEFCs, assuming they are all being wallshared. Notice how efficient the World Breaker pickaxe is compared to any other pickaxe.
