SILEX

Open in AI chat

The SILEX table: what the Laser Isotope Separation Chamber makes from each input, and at which laser strength.

Type Machines Schema Picked by Rows in HBM
hbm:silex Laser Isotope Separation Chamber (SILEX), fed by the FEL own first match in order 301

One input item (or fluid) dissolves into a pool of solution: each item adds fluid_produced mB. The laser then uses fluid_consumed mB per output and rolls one item from the weighted outputs each time. A 900/100 recipe therefore turns one ingot into nine rolls, and the weights are the isotope ratios.

laser_strength is a minimum. A recipe runs on that wavelength or any stronger one, and each step above the minimum doubles the speed.

Field Type Required Default Meaning
input input (below) yes What is dissolved.
fluid_produced int yes mB of solution per input item.
fluid_consumed int yes mB of solution per output roll.
laser_strength wavelength yes The weakest wavelength that runs the recipe.
outputs list of {"data", "weight"} yes data is an item output ("id" or {"id", "count"}), weight a positive int.
order int no after HBM’s The first matching row in order wins.

Wavelengths, weakest first: ir, visible, uv, gamma, drx. An addon’s wavelength is named as it registered it.

The input is one of:

Form Matches
an ingredient Any normal ingredient.
{"rbmk_pellet": "<item id>", "stage": 0..9} An RBMK pellet at one depletion stage; stages 5 to 9 are the xenon-poisoned ones.
{"fluid_icon": "<fluid id>"} A fluid, piped into the chamber’s tank.

  • HBM’s rows are 1.7’s base recipes, every RBMK pellet family at its stages (with the xenon variants), and the nuclear waste reprocessing recipes. 1.7’s aliases (uranium hexafluoride or uranium powder treated like the uranium ingot, and so on) are rows of their own with the same outputs.
  • Tiny waste is a rule, not rows: a tiny nuclear waste item runs the row of its full-size counterpart, with (fluid_produced / 900) × 100 mB of solution (integer division). Recipe viewers do not list these, as 1.7’s did not.
