Advanced Tier

Advanced Tier (Tier 2/3)

NeroTech's late game is gated behind reaching space, but coupled to Nerospace only softly — through Neroland Core's shared c: tags, never a direct dependency. With Nerospace absent the Earth tier still plays fully standalone, and the advanced tier is simply uncraftable.

How the gate works (possession)

Every advanced machine is crafted with Starsteel (#c:ingots/starsteel) — a material only space supplies (via Nerospace). On Earth-only play there is no Starsteel source, so the advanced tier can't be crafted at all; once you have an advanced machine (you reached space to get the Starsteel), it works like any other machine — it is never separately locked or left inert. (This is the "planet-ore possession" gate from the Phase-3 plan; it replaced an earlier reached_orbit use-lock that wrongly bricked the machines in standalone/creative play.)

Machines

Fusion Reactor

Late-game high-output generation. Burns a fuel from the nerotech:fusion_fuels tag — a datapack-overridable tag, so NeroTech's Fusion Cell, a Nerospace fuel, or a Mekanism product can all power it (recognised by tag, never by class). It runs very hot; the red heat gauge telegraphs the danger. Left unmanaged it reaches max heat and:

  • with fusionReactorMeltdownEnabled=true (default) — melts down destructively (a contained explosion), or
  • with it false (survival-friendly servers) — simply stalls until it cools.

Advanced Ore Processor

A higher-yield Ore Processor (advancedOreProcessorYieldBonus extra dust per operation).

Advanced Fabricator

Refines space materials into reactor fuel: Void Crystal (#c:gems/void_crystal) → Fusion Cell.

The advanced machines reuse the Tier-1 GUIs (their titles identify them).

Reactor fuel — the Fusion Cell

Crafted from Starsteel + Void Crystal, or produced by the Advanced Fabricator. Tagged into nerotech:fusion_fuels.

Deferred: per-planet generation

Per-planet generation modifiers (e.g. Solar Array output by world) wait on a published nerospace.api planet-trait query. Until then NeroTech reads a Core-config fallback keyed by dimension id (solarDimensionMultipliers, e.g. nerospace:greenxertz=1.5); Earth (overworld) defaults to 1.0. No Nerospace import is involved.
