Carbon Plate

2012-11-19T15:03:58Z

Btr214:

Carbon Plates are a material that is used to craft several advanced items and machines, namely the [[Advanced Machine|Advanced Machine Block]] , the [[Nano-Bodyarmor|Nanosuit]] and the [[Nano Saber]].

== Recipe ==

{{Grid/Machine

|Top=Combined Carbon Fibers
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)

}}

'''You need:'''

[[Coal Dust]] 8 

== HAYO ==

It's '''black'''. '''Cool'''. '''Expensive'''. And '''futuristic'''. And maybe even more HAYO then I am, but hey, I can live with it...

'''BECAUSE IT'S A RESOURCE OF A NANOSUIT!'''

To craft it, however, you will need tons of advanced resources... like. COAL!

Yes, coal! Everyone knows the future is called "Carbon Fibers"! And thus fibers can only be crafted by using extensive amounts of Coal and [[Gibbl]].

First of all, form up some [[Dusts|Coal Dusts]] to craft it into some unfinished carbon fibers.

Combine some [[Carbon Fiber]]s and you get something special... ''CARBON NET''!

Without these nets, you can't produce [[Carbon]] Plates!

Put a [[Carbon Net]] into the '''Freakin Compress-O-Matic C77''', to turn into highly advanced ''Carbon Plates''.

Theses plates , which are the most essential Resource for [[Nano Suit]] , [[Nano Leggings]] , [[Nano Boots]] and [[Nano Helmet]] ,

are very resistant against damage and are.... i would say... AWESOME!!!

HAYO!

MFS Unit

2012-11-19T14:50:25Z

Btr214:

|stackable=Yes (64)

}}

The Multi-Functional Storage Unit, or MFSU, is a Tier 3 energy storage device. It is able to store up to 10 million [[EU]] (making it capable of powering multiple [[Teleporter|teleportations]], running a [[Mass Fabricator]], or directly storing power from most [[Nuclear Reactor]]s). It can accept up to 512 EU-Packet power, with unlimited EU/t, from its 5 input faces (the faces without dots). It can also emit a current of 512 EU/t from its output face (the face with a dot).

Like all storage units, its output face is marked by a special texture, which usually faces the player when the block is placed. The direction of the output face can be changed by right-clicking with a [[Wrench]] onto any of the input faces of the block; normally, this will point the output face towards the player, but holding Shift while clicking will point the output face in the opposite direction. Be aware that right-clicking the MFSU while pointing at its output face will dismantle it.

Note that applying a Redstone signal to the MFSU will make it stop emitting power from the output face until it's full.

Wiring Tip: Do NOT use [[Tin Cable]], [[Gold Cable]], or [[Copper Cable]] on the output face, they cannot handle the 512 [[EU|EU/p]] that the MFSU's output emits. Instead use [[Glass Fibre Cable]] or [[HV Cable]].

Notice: Most machines cannot handle 512 [[EU|EU/p]] being sent to their storage, so they explode. Use a MV Transformer to transform the 512 [[EU]] into 128 [[EU|EU Packets]] (High Voltage to Medium Voltage), then use a LV Transformer to transform the 128 [[EU|EU Packets]] into 32 [[EU|EU Packets]] (Medium Voltage to Low Voltage). All Machines (including the [[BatBox]], [[MFE]], and MFSU) can handle Low Voltage [[EU|EU Packets]] without exploding.

#* Similar to the bronze dust, you actually only need 82 cables, but the crafting recipe for copper cables requires that 84 be produced. Every third MFSU created at once requires 3 less copper dust.
# Add rubber insulation to 82 of the copper cables. Combine the carbon fibers into 2 [[Raw Carbon Mesh]] and [[Compressor | compress]] them to [[Carbon Plate]]s. Create 2 [[Mixed Metal Block]]s and compress them to [[Advanced Alloy]] plates. Create 2 [[Machine Block]]s.
# Use the alloy and carbon plates to upgrade one of the Machine Blocks to an [[Advanced Machine]]. Create 13 [[Electronic Circuit]]s and one [[MFE Unit | MFE]].
# Create 6 [[Lapotron Crystal]]s and one [[Advanced Circuit]].

Overclocker upgrade

2012-11-19T14:44:22Z

Btr214:

[[Image:upgradedmachine.png|right]]
Revised 2012-02-28 by Xenoflot for 1.71 power consumption

An [[overclocker upgrade]] can be used to speed up machines at the cost of higher energy consumption. Place one or more [[overclocker upgrade]]s into the four right-most slots to upgrade a machine.
<div style="float:left;width:280px">{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=10K Cooling Cell|B1=10K Cooling Cell|C1=10K Cooling Cell
|A2=Insulated Copper Cable|B2=Electronic Circuit|C2=Insulated Copper Cable
|A3=|B3=|C3=
|Output=Overclocker upgrade
}}</div>
Each upgrade reduces the operating time to 70% of the previous value and increases energy consumption by 60%. The [[overclocker upgrade]]'s effects stack exponentially. For example, two upgrades makes the machine operate at (0.7)^2 = 0.49 times normal time (100% faster) and use 1.6^2 = 2.56 times the energy (139% more). 8 of them will run the machine at over 8 times normal speed, and use over 43 times as much EU.

[[Overclocker upgrade]]s result in poorer energy efficiency (more EU will be consumed per operation). This results in a 12 percent increase in energy per operation per upgrade (0.7*1.6 = 1.12, (1.12)^10 = 3.11 ). While building multiple machines makes better use of a limited energy supply, but overclocking allows for reduced space and wiring requirements when time or compact construction are more important or energy is plentiful. The reduced efficiency can be mitigated by combining both approaches, dividing a number of [[overclocker upgrade]]s evenly between a handful of machines.

An overclocked machine's speed cannot exceed 1 operation per tick, so adding additional [[overclocker upgrade]]s beyond that point is useless.

== In Practice ==
Revised: 2012-02-28 by Xenoflot - Please advise me on IC2 forum of any mistakes.

'''tl;dr''' - Max speed benefits are obtained with: 16 [[overclocker upgrade]]s for [[Macerator]]s and [[Extractor]]s, 13 for [[Electro Furnace]]s and 10 for [[Recycler]]s;. In each case you're going to need to put in transformer upgrades, use [[Glass Fibre Cable]] and storage upgrades.

---

This section is intended to provide some explanation and practical examples for using [[overclocker upgrade]]s. This revision includes the revised power consumption for 1.71.

Each IndustrialCraft2 machine has a rated current draw (required EU/tick), a time to process the materials and internal EU storage. When calculating the effects of overclocking, we need to include these factors. The differences on each machine mean that some machines need more or less [[overclocker upgrade]]s to reach peak speed.

The main limit to the number of overclockers you can use is the power requirement. To make machines run really fast, you need to feed them with multiple power supplies, big ones. Also, you can't get it to process any faster than 1 operation per tick. Since there are only 20 ticks in a real-world second, you can never make an IC2 standard machine process more than 20 items per second.

'''Examples:'''

A standard [[Macerator]] draws 2 EU/t, takes 20 seconds per grind and stores 625 EU.

Five [[overclocker upgrade]]s are a great start. With 5 [[overclocker upgrade]]s, your [[Macerator]] draws 21 EU/t (which can be supplied by a single [[BatBox]]) and completes each grind in 3.5 seconds instead of 20!

With 8 [[overclocker upgrade]]s, your [[Macerator]] draws 85.9 EU/t and completes each grind in almost a second. You can still run this with copper cable but you'll need three [[BatBox]]es in parallel to supply the power. Alternatively, you can put in one [[Transformer upgrade]] (which allows 128 EU/t) and use an [[MFE Unit]] to power. Use [[Gold Cable]] or better!

As you put in more [[overclocker upgrade]]s, the power requirements keep going up. 11 [[overclocker upgrade]]s want 352 EU/s which would require 11 [[BatBox]]es or 3 [[MFE Unit]]s to drive. My suggestion is you put 2 [[Transformer upgrade]]s in each machine early and then you can just upgrade to [[MFE Unit|MFE]]s and [[MFSU]]s any time you're ready.

There is a break-point when you reach 13 OC's on the Macerator, 10 on the Furnace and Extractor and 9 on the Recycler. The energy required per tick exceeds the machine's internal storage. As you approach this limit, you may see the machine flicker or stutter as if your batbox was running empty. If you put in one more overclocker, the machine will stop entirely. Now you need to add one or more [[Energy storage upgrade]]s before the machine will continue to function.

Maximum speed benefits can be achieved with 16 [[overclocker upgrade]]s in [[Macerator]]s and [[Extractor]]s, 13 in [[Electro Furnace]]s and 10 in [[Recycler]]s. In each case you're going to need to put in transformer upgrades, storage upgrades and use [[Glass Fibre Cable]]. The Macerator is the greediest and will need 8 [[MFS Unit]]s to supply the necessary power.
