Hyperbaric press

Two hydraulic rams in a steel frame: it presses the alloys, and diamonds out of coal, at 30 to 200 kW on a large cable.

In the game

How to get it

At the grid: 16 steel plates, 8 titanium sheets, 4 cogwheels, 8 copper coils and 2 circuit boards. Place the 2 x 2 x 2 m press, bring it a large power cable, put each ingredient in a slot of its own.

What it is for

Duracier, Celerite, Brisite, Egidite, Nivelite and Lissite alloys; diamonds from coal ore (never profitable on purpose).

Why it exists

The owner wanted a machine of insane power: alloys are rare enough to be worth it, which makes a real power grid the price of the alloys.

The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).

How to make it

At the grid: 16 steel plates (top corners), 2 circuit boards (top middle), 8 titanium sheets (middle sides), 4 cogwheels (centre), 8 copper coils (bottom corners). It stands 2 x 2 x 2 m.

Using it

Electric only, on a large power cable: each recipe wants its full power or waits, its progress kept.
Three input slots and one output; each ingredient goes whole into a slot of its own, in any order. A recipe runs only when the slots hold exactly its ingredients.

What it presses

Product	Inputs	Power	Time
Duracier	2 steel ingots + 1 titanium ingot + 16 voxels coal	40 kW	60 s
Celerite	2 aluminium ingots + 1 lithium ingot + 1 silicon	40 kW	60 s
Brisite	2 steel ingots + 1 diamond	60 kW	90 s
Egidite	2 titanium ingots + 1 gold ingot	60 kW	90 s
Nivelite	2 copper ingots + 1 iron ingot + 16 voxels basalt	30 kW	60 s
Lissite	2 copper ingots + 16 voxels crystal + 16 voxels coal	30 kW	60 s
Diamond	256 voxels of coal ore	200 kW	15 min

Powering it

30 to 60 kW for an alloy, 200 kW for a diamond: several generators or wind turbines on a Power grid, their small cables stepped Up by transformers onto one large cable.

Two hydraulic rams in a riveted steel frame drive matter to its limits: it presses the alloys you forge into tools, weapons and armor, and diamonds out of coal. Each press wants its full power or waits -- up to 250 kW, the heaviest cable: a diamond made here costs more than it is worth; a rare alloy does not.
