Elemental Duplicator

The Elemental Duplicator is a ZPM tier multiblock for replicating rare materials with UU-Matter (UUM). The Elemental Duplicator is a direct upgrade from the singleblock replicator because it runs at 200% speed and offers 8 parallels per voltage tier. It also has unlimited perfect overclocks which means it scales very well and does not lose efficiency when overclocked. The Elemental Duplicator is often accompanied by the Matter Fabrication CPU for producing enough UUM.

The Elemental Duplicator has no tiered components and can only face upwards. Buses/hatches may replace any confinement shell anywhere on the structure. There can only be one data orb repository per machine. Multi-amp and laser 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.

Unique to the Elemental Duplicator is the data orb repository which holds up to 16 data orbs for the machine. The programmed circuit value (1-16) then selects which material (data orb) to actually replicate, since the machine only runs a single recipe at a time. The ordering for the programmed circuit is top-to-bottom and left-to-right. A value of 7, for example, selects the third data orb on the second row in the repository.

Wallsharing

Elemental Duplicators may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, confinement shells, and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

The Elemental Duplicator is a direct upgrade from the singleblock replicator because it runs at 200% speed and offers 8 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following table.

The Elemental Duplicator uses data orbs to tell the machine which recipe to run. The data orbs must be scanned with a particular element and placed inside the data orb repository on the structure. A programmed circuit then selects which of the 16 to actually use.

Storing elemental data on a data orb is a one-step process. Insert the desired material (1 dust for items / 1 fluid cell for liquids) and a data orb into a singleblock scanner or Research Station. The material is then consumed and the scanner overwrites anything previously stored on the data orb with the new elemental data. If necessary, copy the result to other data orbs by placing the one with the elemental data in the data slot and a blank one in the input slot or object holder.

The Elemental Duplicator is often accompanied by the Matter Fabrication CPU for producing enough UUM. The output rates of the machine with programmed circuit 3 and 4 are listed in the following table. The Matter Fabrication CPU also has unlimited perfect overclocks so it scales just as well.

The following are all the available replicator recipes and their associated costs. The most useful recipes are bolded for higher visibility. The base power consumption is always 30 EU/t (LV) so the durations listed below are significantly reduced by the Elemental Duplicator's perfect overclocks. Notice that UHV is hardly better than UV due to some rounding limitations and that two of the recipes are broken on GTNH 2.8.
