The Spherical Gravity Generator works on the same principles as its planar equivalent: When turned on, it draws items, walking players, and Artificial Mass toward itself.

Usage

Unlike the regular gravity generator, it pulls objects within a sphere of effect directly toward itself from all directions. The effect can also be set to reverse so that it then pushes everything directly away from the block.

Except for direction and area shape, its usage, game mechanics, and properties are the same, so see Gravity Generator for more details.

Power

The spherical gravity generator's range and the strength can be similarly adjusted. Higher values result in higher power consumption. Its maximum power requirement is 171.76 kW, which is a very large amount of power compared to normal gravity generators and requires a large reactor to power it in survival mode.

Construction

A Spherical Gravity Generator is 1x1x1 blocks in size and exist for large grid only. Place it in the center of the intended area of effect. The block has mount points on the bottom side only and has one terminal on the front side.

The block needs to be powered to function. To save power, make the area of effect as small as possible.
