Glacial Precipitator


SNOWBALL FIGHT!

The Glacial Precipitator is one of the Machines added by Thermal Expansion. It uses Redstone Flux to freeze fluids into solids. Currently the Machine only works with Water, which it can freeze into Snowballs, Snow blocks or Ice. However, in the future it may be extended to work with other fluids as well.

Power

When working at maximum speed, the Glacial Precipitator consumes 20 RF per tick. When its internal energy storage is starting to deplete, the Machine will slow down and use less power. This prevents sudden interruptions of the Precipitator's work when its power supply cuts short.

GUI

1. Output Selection
Allows selecting what the Precipitator freezes Water into. Three choices are provided here: four Snowballs, a Snow block or an Ice block.
2. Input Water Tank
Water that is to be frozen is stored in this tank.
3. Output Slot
Output items of the selected type end up in this slot.
4. Progress Arrow
Displays the progress of the Water currently being frozen.
5. Power Gauge
Displays how fast the Precipitator is working in relation to its maximum speed.
6. Energy Gauge
Displays how much Redstone Flux is currently stored in the Precipitator.
7. Charging Slot
Items that store Redstone Flux that are placed here are discharged by the Precipitator to charge itself.
8. Energy Tab
Displays how much power the Precipitator uses, and how much Redstone Flux is currently stored in it.
9. Information Tab
Displays a bit of information about the Precipitator.
10. Tutorial Tab
Explains various things about the Precipitator and the other tabs in the GUI.
11. Augmentation Tab
Allows installing Augments in the Machine.
12. Security Tab
Allows setting who is allowed to access the Precipitator. Only available if a Signalum Security Lock is installed.
13. Redstone Control Tab
Allows setting how the Precipitator responds to Redstone signals. Only available if the Integrated Redstone Circuit Augment is installed.
14. Configuration Tab
Allows configuring the input/output behavior of the sides of the Precipitator. Only available if the Integrated Modular Framework Augment is installed.
15. Player Inventory
The inventory and hotbar of the player that is accessing the Precipitator.

Input/Output

The different sides of the Glacial Precipitator correspond to different color-coded slots and tanks in its GUI. These sides can be identified by color-coded openings in the sides of the Precipitator. This is used for handling input and output with ducts/pipes/conduits/tubes, other Machines and other types of inventories and/or fluid tanks.

If the Integrated Modular Framework Augment is installed, this feature of the Glacial Precipitator can be configured. Some things can be inserted from any side.

If the Integrated Servo Mechanism Augment is installed, output items are automatically ejected from the corresponding sides of the Glacial Precipitator, evenly divided between the available outputs.

Type Color Default Sides
Item/Water input Blue Top, Bottom
Item output Orange Left, Right, Back
Any item input/output* (colorless) (not set)
Redstone Flux input - (any side)
*: Cannot be automatically ejected from.

Recipes

The Glacial Precipitator can freeze Water into Snowballs, Snow blocks or Ice. These three possible products require different amounts of Water and Redstone Flux. The following table displays those amounts. Products that require less energy also take less time to produce.

Output Water Energy
4x Snowball 500 mB 800 RF
Snow (block) 500 mB 800 RF
Ice 1000 mB 1600 RF
