Penrose Sphere

The Penrose Sphere is a late-game multiblock power generator that filled with Super Singularities converts matter into Forge Energy (FE). It is a very scalable power source.

Structure Overview

The structure is a 7x7x3 multiblock. It includes Penrose Frames, Penrose Coils, and mandatory air gaps.

Once built, the frame blocks will visually indicate if the structure is complete.

How It Works

  1. Insert Storage Cell

    • Only accepts 4k Storage Cells containing only Super Singularities.
    • Insert into the left slot (disk slot).

  2. Insert Super Singularities

    • Place Super Singularities into the right slot (input) and click the arrow button to store/extract singularities from/to the cell.
    • The more super singularities are inside the cell, the more power multiblock will generate.

  3. Set Target Resource

    • Use the config slot to choose a target item (e.g., Cobblestone, Singularity or Matter Ball).
    • This determines how much energy is produced.

  4. Automatic Power Generation

    • Every tick, the controller consumes the target item from your ME network.
    • Generates FE based on the amount of Super Singularities in the disk.
    • Power is accessible from any Penrose Frame block.

Power Output

  • Minimum is 1024FE/t with 1 super singularity and with "normal" item as input.
  • Matter Balls and Singularities increase output:
    • +8x if Matter Ball is selected
    • +64x if AE2 Singularity is selected
  • Max power: ~1'000MFE/t (4x mek fusion) (with a full Cell and singularities as fuel)

Notes

  • Multiblock must be complete to function.
  • Controller stores power internally.
  • Energy can be extracted from any Penrose Frame block.
  • Compatible with any FE-based system.
