Gas centrifuge

The two tables of the Gas Centrifuge: the cascade the machine runs, and its summary for recipe viewers.

Type	Machines	Schema	Picked by	Rows in HBM
hbm:pseudo_fluid	Gas Centrifuge (the cascade it runs)	own	pseudo-fluid name	7
hbm:gas_centrifuge	Gas Centrifuge (recipe viewers only)	own	display only	4

The Gas Centrifuge does not use ordinary fluid recipes. It turns a real fluid tank (UF6, PuF6, Watz mud) into an internal pseudo-fluid, processes it, and passes the enriched pseudo-fluid on to the next centrifuge in line. The cascade is the pseudo_fluid table. The gas_centrifuge table only describes the whole cascade for recipe viewers; it does not change what the machine does. If you change one, change the other to match.

pseudo_fluid

One row per pseudo-fluid.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Meaning
name	string	yes		The pseudo-fluid’s name, e.g. NUF6. Saved in the machine.
from	fluid id	no	none	The real fluid a centrifuge turns into this pseudo-fluid.
consumed	int	yes		mB of this pseudo-fluid used per operation.
produced	int	yes		mB of the next pseudo-fluid made per operation.
next	string	no	none	The pseudo-fluid name it becomes, passed to the next centrifuge.
high_speed	boolean	no	false	Needs the centrifuge’s speed upgrade.
outputs	list of item outputs ("id" or {"id", "count"})	yes		Items made per operation.

data/hbm/recipe/pseudo_fluid/nuf6.json (HBM)

{
  "type": "hbm:pseudo_fluid",
  "name": "NUF6",
  "from": "hbm:uf6",
  "consumed": 400,
  "produced": 300,
  "next": "LEUF6",
  "outputs": ["hbm:nugget_u238"]
}

HBM’s chain: uf6 becomes NUF6, then LEUF6, MEUF6, HEUF6 (the last one needs the speed upgrade); puf6 becomes PF6; Watz mud (hbm:watz) becomes MUD, then MUD_HEAVY.

Notes:

• A file with a new name creates a new pseudo-fluid. Its display name is the translation key hbmpseudofluid.<name in lower case>; add it in a resource pack.
• A pseudo-fluid whose file is removed has no values (nothing consumed or produced), so the chain stops there.
• Rows are read in recipe-id order; a second file with the same name overwrites the first’s values, and the last from for a real fluid wins.

gas_centrifuge

Field	Type	Required	Default	Meaning
input	fluid stack	yes		The real fluid fed in.
outputs	list of item outputs	yes		Everything the cascade makes from it.
high_speed	boolean	no	false	Shown as needing the speed upgrade.
centrifuges	int	yes		How many centrifuges in line the cascade needs.
