HILE Throughput Planner

Hyper-Intensity Laser Engraver: ×3.5 speed, ×0.8 EU. Laser source hatch sets max recipe tier + overclock cap (laser tier + 1) and parallels (⌊∛laser amps⌋). Energy hatches power everything — with amperage OC, extra energy amps buy overclocks and sub-tick bonus parallels.

Throughput vs energy hatch amperage

Recipes per minute sweeping total energy amps (log scale), one line per laser source hatch amp variant at the selected laser tier. Steps: each ×4 energy = one more overclock; past the 1-tick floor, energy converts to bonus parallels. Marker = current setting.

Energy cost of speed

EU consumed per recipe as a multiple of base recipe EU. Starts at ×0.8 (HILE discount); each regular overclock doubles it (×4 power, ×2 speed); sub-tick parallels are free — the curve flattens once the 1-tick floor is reached.

DTR catalyst chain

Mixers to saturate this engraver

Pins the HILE to the Exotic Catalyst → Excited DTEC recipe (7,864,320 EU/t · 2500 s · 1000 L → 1000 L) using the laser source and energy hatch configured above, then sizes the Industrial Mixing Machine chain (Crude → Prosaic → Resplendent → Exotic, each 1000 L → 1000 L · 2500 s base). Mixers: ×3.5 speed, parallels = 8 × tier of summed hatch voltage, regular overclocks with amperage OC and sub-tick parallels.

How HILE computes this: recipe must satisfy EU/t ≤ V[laserTier+1] (UXV laser: uncapped) and EU/t ≤ 4 × hatch voltage (one tier skip). Base parallels = ⌊∛(laser amps)⌋ — 256A→6, 1024A→10, 4096A→16, 16384A→25, 65536A→40. Overclocks are regular (×4 power / ×2 speed), computed from total energy power vs EU/t × 0.8 × parallels, capped at laserTier + 1 − recipeTier. If the OC cap exceeds what's needed to hit 1 tick, the surplus multiplies parallels instead (sub-tick parallels, with fractional correction), still capped by energy EU/t ÷ (recipe EU/t × 0.8). Duration = base ÷ 3.5 ÷ 2^OC, min 1 tick. Glass tier must be ≥ laser tier (UMV glass accepts all). Energy: regular hatches below UEV laser; UEV+ laser allows one multi-amp hatch instead. Note: with exactly one regular energy hatch, the game counts only 1A.
