Temporal Accelerator
crossroads:temporal_accelerator|crossroads:progress/path/technomancy
The <item>Temporal Accelerator/$ is a machine that speeds up time in a 5x5x5 area. It can affect blocks, entities, or both. It consumes a <thing><link:beam/time>time beam/$ and produces <thing><link:intro/technomancy>temporal entropy/$ as a byproduct.
While holding a <item><link:essentials/wrench>wrench/$, the affected 5x5x5 area will be highlighted. Right-clicking the <item>temporal accelerator/$ will rotate it, and shift-right-clicking will change the mode between affecting only entities, only blocks, or both.
The <item>temporal accelerator/$ accepts a <thing><link:beam/time>time beam/$ in the back. It will speed up time in the affected area by (<thing><link:intro/beam>beam power/$)/4 extra ticks per tick (or (<thing><link:intro/beam>beam power/$)*25%). While boosting time, <thing><link:intro/technomancy>temporal entropy/$ is produced- the amount produced grows exponentially with the applied boost- producing (2^(extra ticks))/2 <thing><link:intro/technomancy>temporal entropy/$ per tick (aka: +100% boost is 1TEn/tick, +200% boost is 2TEn/tick, +300% is 4TEn/tick, etc.).
Multiple overlapping <item>temporal accelerators/$ stack additively.
