Nexus Flux Matrix — Wireless Energy System¶

Status: 🔮 In Development — v0.2.0

Overview¶

The Nexus Flux Matrix is a massive EU energy storage multiblock with wireless distribution. It works as an energy "central bank" where generators deposit and machines withdraw without cables.

Quick Stats¶

Property	Value
Type	Electric Multiblock (expandable)
Size	3×7×7 (min) to 31×7×7 (max)
Internal Capacitors	Up to 750 blocks
Scaling	Quadratic: `Capacity × Count / 2`
Efficiency	85% (LV) → 100% (MAX)
Max Transfer	500 ZEU/t
Cross-Dimension	Yes (ZPM+)
Safe Mode	Auto at <10%, reactivates at 25%

Components¶

Nexus Capacitor Blocks¶

Fill the interior of the multiblock. Each block adds capacity:

Tier	Capacity/Block	Name
LV	160K EU	Basic
MV	1.5M EU	Advanced
HV	10M EU	Elite
EV	50M EU	Master
IV	250M EU	Ultimate
LuV	1.5G EU	Superior
ZPM	15G EU	Quantum
UV	150G EU	Stellar
UHV	3T EU	Cosmic
UEV	50T EU	Infinite
UIV	900T EU	Ultra
UXV	15P EU	Extreme
OpV	250P EU	Omniscient
MAX	5E EU	Omni

Calculation Formulas¶

Total Capacity¶

totalCapacity = Σ (capacitorCapacity[tier] × count) / 2

Scaling is quadratic: more capacitor blocks = bigger bonus. Division by 2 prevents excessive growth.

Efficiency by Tier¶

efficiency = 0.85 + (tier × 0.01071)

Tier	Efficiency
LV	85%
MV	86.1%
HV	87.1%
EV	88.2%
IV	89.3%
LuV	90.4%
ZPM	91.4%
UV	92.5%
UHV	93.6%
UEV	94.6%
UIV	95.7%
UXV	96.8%
OpV	97.9%
MAX	100%

Transfer Limit¶

The per-tick transfer limit is:

transferLimit = min(totalCapacity / 20, MAX_TRANSFER)
MAX_TRANSFER = 500 ZEU/t (Zetta EU per tick)

Wireless Energy Hatch¶

Powers multiblocks by withdrawing from the wireless network. 11 amperage variants:

Variant	Amperage
1A	1
4A	4
16A	16
64A	64
256A	256
1,024A	1,024
4,096A	4,096
16,384A	16,384
65,536A	65,536
262,144A	262,144
1,048,576A	1,048,576

Each variant is available across all tiers (LV → MAX).

Wireless Dynamo Hatch¶

Receives from generators and deposits into the wireless network. Same amperage and tier variants.

Wireless Covers (Singleblocks)¶

Receiver Cover: Powers singleblocks (1A, 4A, 16A, 64A)
Transmitter Cover: Extracts from singleblock generators

Nexus Linker (Item)¶

Links components to the network via Shift+Click on Controller → Click on Hatch.

Quantum Network Terminal (GUI)¶

Portable monitor showing: - Current stored energy - Input/Output rates (EU/t) - Active connections list - Estimated time remaining - "Locate" button for each connection

Safety System¶

Level	Action
≤75%	⚠️ Chat warning
≤50%	⚠️ Chat warning
≤25%	⚠️ Urgent warning
≤10%	⛔ Safe Mode: cuts output, continues accepting input
≥25%	🔋 Safe Mode deactivated, output restored

Practical Example¶

Build the Nexus Flux Matrix (3×7×7 minimum)
Fill the interior with Nexus Capacitors of the desired tier
Use the Nexus Linker: Shift+Click on the Controller
Place Wireless Dynamo Hatches on your generators
Use the Linker to bind each Dynamo to the Controller
Place Wireless Energy Hatches on consumer machines
Use the Linker to bind each Energy Hatch
Monitor via Quantum Network Terminal
