# Gravitational Singularity Engine
|
|
|
|
The Gravitational Singularity Engine can yield infinite power, with no fueling required. It can also destroy the whole station with equal ease. It uses a Particle Accelerator to fire high energy particles at a Singularity Generator to form a singularity. The singularity then pulses radiation which is absorbed by Radiation Collectors.
|
|
|
|
## Setting it up
|
|
|
|
The Gravitational Singularity Engine requires 4 subsystems to work properly:
|
|
|
|
## Gravitational singularity generator
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="SingularityGenerator"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
The generator should be anchored at the center of the containment area since this is where the singularity will appear at.
|
|
|
|
## Containment field generators and emitters
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Emitter"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ContainmentFieldGenerator"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ContainmentField"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
The emitters connect to MV cables and fire lasers as long as they have power and are turned on.
|
|
Fire emitters at containment field generators to activate them.
|
|
If two containment field generators are active, in range and in the same cardinal axis, a containment field will appear.
|
|
The containment field will repell the singularity, keeping it from escaping, and yield a little bit of power every time anything bounces off of them.
|
|
Emitter lasers and containment field can cause damage, avoid touching them when active.
|
|
|
|
## Radition collectors
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="RadiationCollector"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
They connect to HV cables and generate power from nearby radiation sources when turned on.
|
|
|
|
## Particle accelerator
|
|
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ParticleAcceleratorEndCap"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ParticleAcceleratorControlBox" Caption="PA computer"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ParticleAcceleratorFuelChamber"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="CableHV"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ParticleAcceleratorPowerBox"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ParticleAcceleratorEmitterStarboard" Caption="Starboard Emitter"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ParticleAcceleratorEmitterFore" Caption="Fore Emitter"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ParticleAcceleratorEmitterPort" Caption="Port Emitter"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
The Particle Accelerator (PA) is a multi-tile structure that launches accelerated particles from its emitters. Its emitters should always face the gravitational singularity generator.
|
|
Some stations already have an unfinished PA. To complete, first ensure there is HV cable beneath the PA power box, anchor all parts, then add LV cable to each part.
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="CableApcStack"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
Then use a screwdriver to screw back the panels.
|
|
Scan parts using the PA control computer to check if it's operational. If it shows up as incomplete, examine for what's missing.
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ParticleAcceleratorControlBox"/>
|
|
</Box>

|
## Turing on the Gravitational Singularity Engine
|
|
|
|
[color=#a4885c]Do not[/color] turn the PA on unless all other subsystems are working properly.
|
|
|
|
Turn power on using the PA control computer. Set strength to an appropiate level. Currently the only appropriate level is [color=#f0684d]1[/color], anything above that will ensure that singularity grows too strong to handle.
|
|
The higher the output stength is set on PA control computer, the bigger the singularity will be.
|
|
|
|
The PA will now draw power from the power net and start firing particles at the Gravitational singularity generator.

</Box>
|
|
|
|
A singularity will soon appear at the position of the Gravitational singularity generator.
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Singularity"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
If no particle is hitting the singularity generator, the singularity will start to slowly decay until it disappear.
|
|
|
|
## Safety
|
|
Singularity emits radiation around it, so always keep a distance. Consider getting radiation shielding gear beforehand. Seek medical attention if experiencing health issues.

|
|
|
|
A singularity might move around, but the containment field will repel it.
|
|
If a singularity escapes its containment field, often referred to as a "singuloose," it will attract and then consume everything in its way.
|
|
|
|
In such circumstances, there is little to be done other than running in the opposite direction.
