UniverseGate is a portal-focused mod for Fabric that introduces a new energy system, advanced machinery, and a mysterious dimension called The Rift. Build complex portal networks, generate power, manipulate the weather, and explore the void.

1. Power Generation

Before building a portal, you need energy.

  1. Craft Solar Panels.
  2. Place an Energy Condenser. This acts as a battery and network controller.
  3. Connect Solar Panels to the Condenser using Energy Conduits.
    • Note: Panels must see the sky and only work during the day.

2. Building a Portal

  1. Construct a Portal Frame with a 3x4 interior (5x6 outer size).
  2. Place the Portal Core at the bottom center of the frame.
  3. Connect the Portal Core (or Frame) to your energy network using Conduits.
    • Opening a portal uses a dynamic cost: base 1200 EU, then increases with distance and if dimensions differ.
    • Maintaining the connection costs 120 EU/s.
  4. Place a Portal Controller (formerly Keyboard) nearby (within 8 blocks).

3. Entering The Rift (Unstable Link)

To reach the Rift for the first time, you need to force an unstable connection:

  1. Craft a Portal Lightning Rod.
  2. Place it within range of your portal.
  3. Wait for a Thunderstorm (or force one, see below).
  4. When lightning strikes the rod, it will force the portal to open an unstable Rift link.
    • Warning: Unstable portals are volatile.

4. The Meteorological Machine

Tired of waiting for rain? Build the Meteorological Controller to change the weather.

  1. Structure: Requires a specific multi-block setup (Parabola, Controller, Catalyst).
  2. Power: Connect it to your energy network (requires 2500 EU per operation).
  3. Catalyst: Insert a Meteorological Catalyst crystal.
  4. Activate: Select "Thunder" to charge your Lightning Rods instantly.

The Rift

The Rift is a dark, void-based dimension.

  • Resources: Gather Kelo Logs, Rift Crystals, and Rift Meat.
  • Dangers: Watch out for Rift Shades and Rift Beasts.
  • Return: Portals in the Rift are auto-powered by the ambient energy of the dimension, allowing for an easy return trip if you have a frame.
