Tables for the fusion reactor and the machines it feeds.

Type Machines Schema Picked by Rows in HBM
hbm:fusion Fusion Reactor Vessel generic + ignition_temp, output_temp, neutron_flux, red, green, blue selector, saves name 10
hbm:plasma_forge Plasma Forge generic + ignition_temp selector, saves name 35
hbm:fluid_breeder Fusion Reactor Breeder (fluid mode) generic first match in order 3
hbm:outgasser RBMK Irradiation Channel, Fusion Reactor Breeder (item mode) generic + fusion_only first match in order 19

All four use the generic schema. Three add fields of their own, which sit in the same JSON object as the generic fields.

Each row is a fuel cycle of the torus. The player picks it in the torus’s selector, and the torus saves its name.

Extra field Type Default Meaning
ignition_temp long 0 Klystron energy the torus must be fed before the plasma lights.
output_temp long 0 Plasma energy the cycle puts out at full blast.
neutron_flux double 0 Neutron output at full blast, taken by breeders.
red, green, blue float, 0 to 1 1, 0.2, 0.6 Plasma colour, passed on to the machines that receive it.

Notes:

  • The torus has three fuel tanks; up to three input_fluids are used. Its output scales with how full the fuel tanks and the energy buffer are.
  • The cycles form a progression: each cycle’s output pays for a later cycle’s ignition. HBM’s stellar flux cycle sits at the top with 10 MHE ignition.
  • The creative klystron outputs the highest ignition_temp of any row, so it can light every cycle, yours included.
  • HBM writes the breeder flux as a fraction of the breeder’s 10,000 buffer.
Extra field Type Default Meaning
ignition_temp long 0 Plasma energy (TU/t) the forge must receive to run.

The player picks the recipe in the forge’s selector, and the forge saves its name. The forge sizes its energy buffer from the selected recipe (power × 100). Expensive-mode inputs and 528 pools work as in the assembly machine (input_items_expensive, blueprint_pools_528).

The fusion breeder turns one fluid into another with the torus’s neutrons. The breeder uses rows with one input fluid and reads the first output fluid; the first row in order for the tank’s fluid wins.

}

Neutron irradiation of items, in the RBMK Irradiation Channel and in the fusion breeder’s item mode. The machines use rows with one item input and read the first item output and the first fluid output (both optional). The first matching row in order wins; the input count is checked.

Extra field Type Default Meaning
fusion_only boolean false Only the fusion breeder runs this row, not the RBMK channel. HBM’s rows do not use it.
data/hbm/recipe/outgasser/coal_block.json (HBM)

"duration": 10000,
"order": 15
}

HBM’s rows state "duration": 10000, 1.7’s fixed irradiation time. The RBMK channel uses that fixed time whatever the row says.
