Stellar Nexus

The Stellar Nexus is the final simulation multiblock in UFO Future. It consumes immense AE power, rare fluids and high-tier materials to produce extreme-scale outputs over long cycle times.

Machine Identity

  • Massive assembled multiblock
  • Reads items and fluids from the ME network
  • Charges a 20B AE internal buffer while idle
  • Consumes fuel on start and coolant during runtime
  • Uses heat, safe mode and overclock as core balancing mechanics
  • Requires exactly one item input hatch, one item output hatch, one fluid output hatch and one AE energy input hatch

Field Generator Tiers

The four field positions must all be the same tier:

  • MK1
  • MK2
  • MK3

Mixed field tiers invalidate the structure. The field tier decides recipe access and affects charging and cooling performance.

Coolant Ladder

  • Gelid Cryotheum = low efficiency
  • Stable Coolant = medium efficiency
  • Temporal Fluid = extreme efficiency

The intended setup is to climb this ladder instead of brute-forcing the machine with weak coolant forever.

Safe Mode

Safe Mode is the reliable automation option.

  • 2.5x AE cost
  • 2.5x fuel use
  • 2.5x coolant use
  • Automatic shutdown instead of detonation at maximum heat

Overclock Mode

  • 5x faster recipe completion
  • 10x AE cost
  • 5x fuel use
  • 5x heat generation
  • 5x coolant use

This behavior also applies to custom Stellar Nexus recipes, because it is implemented in machine logic.

Catastrophic Explosion

If Safe Mode is disabled and the machine reaches full heat, the Stellar Nexus enters a real destruction sequence.

  • The blast expands in shells instead of a single lag spike
  • Real blocks are destroyed around the controller
  • The inner core turns into lava
  • The outer zone is ignited
  • Nearby entities keep taking damage as the wave expands
