Beam Crafter
The Beam Crafter is a UV tier multiblock that captures particle beams for crafting recipes. The Beam Crafter permanently buffers up to 2B of each type of particle and only ever consumes them when a recipe requires them. There is no decay and it does not matter which beam input hatch that the particles enter through. Beam Crafter recipes start immediately upon receiving any valid inputs and only finish when the machine receives enough of the required particles. If necessary, use the Beam Mirror, Beam Splitter, and/or the Beam Stabilizer to control the flow of particle beams following the Large Hadron Collider.
Construction
The Beam Crafter has no tiered components. The glass can be any tier and has no effect on the operation of the machine. The beam input hatches must replace the casing in the middle of the grate machine casings on either side. The remaining buses/hatches may replace any shielded accelerator casing anywhere on the structure. CRIBs are incompatible with the Beam Crafter so use regular or stocking input buses/hatches. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are supported, but they do not overclock the machine. There is no maintenance or muffler hatch. 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
- 224-227 Shielded Accelerator Casing
- 26 Any Tiered Glass
- 16 Grate Machine Casing
- 2 Beam Input Hatch: Center of both ends of the structure
- 1+ Energy Hatch: Any accelerator casing
- 1+ Input Bus/Hatch: Any accelerator casing
- 1+ Output Bus: Any accelerator casing
- 0+ Output Hatch: Any accelerator casing
Wallsharing
Beam Crafters may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings and glass. However, it is not possible to share the beam input hatches due to the restrictions on their locations.
Usage
The Beam Crafter is the final step in the Large Hadron Collider and captures one or more of the output particle beams for recipes. More specifically, it permanently buffers up to 2B of each particle type and only ever consumes them when a recipe requires them. There is no passive decay and it does not matter which beam input hatch the particles enter through.
Beam Crafter recipes start immediately upon receiving any valid inputs and only finish when the machine receives enough of the required particles, similar to the Research Station and computation. Therefore, the duration of recipes is strictly determined by the rate at which particles are consumed. It could be instantaneous if there are enough particles stored in the buffer, or last forever if the collision energy of the LHC is not high enough to produce the required particles. All available recipes are listed below in the following table along with their requirements and the module(s) that can produce both particles on their own. The "none" column refers to using only a Source Chamber to produce the required particles--no LHC necessary.

The CMS module only supports a few basic recipes such as the two for unknown particles. The ATLAS module supports nearly every recipe because it has such a large pool of particles but that also makes it difficult to obtain any one in particular. The ALICE module is also quite flexible but its pool is much smaller for more concentrated crafts. The LHCb module supports the most advanced recipes like the ZPIC wafer and stable boson containment unit, and is significantly better for the two rarest particles.
