The Nexus

The Nexus is your team's monument. It grows tier by tier (up to tier 12) as you feed it energy, items, fluids and chemicals, and it grants bonuses around it.

Crafting and placing it

Recipe: polished deepslate, amethyst shard, gold ingots and a diamond (see JEI).
One Nexus per team (FTB Teams), or per solo player. At least 32 blocks from another Nexus, with 26 blocks of room above and 8 below.
Only your team can open or break it; it is blast-proof. Breaking it keeps all progress: place it elsewhere and the old structure dismantles itself.

Filling the reserves

Pipes, cables and conveyors connected to the Nexus or to a Nexus Relay send energy, items, fluids and Mekanism chemicals into your team's reserves. Everything is accepted, nothing comes back out.
Right-click a Relay with an item: the whole stack goes into the reserves; empty hand: shows the reserves.
Every second, if the current tier's structure is finished and the reserves cover the next tier, the Nexus takes what it needs and goes up on its own.

The 12 tiers

“a or b”: either one. Each tier also gives every team member one more Curios slot.

Fragments and bonuses

The Nexus has 5 Fragment slots: Tech, Magic, Nature, Space, Adventure. A placed Fragment stays forever. Each grants a bonus within 48 blocks of the Nexus (same dimension):

Tech: charges the energy items in your inventory (2,000 FE/s shared).
Magic: +2 mana regeneration (Ars Nouveau).
Nature: crops and saplings around the Nexus grow much faster.
Space: slow falling and jump boost.
Adventure: resistance I.

The Adventure Fragment is forged in the Nexus screen (Forge button) with: Ignitium Ingot cataclysm:ignitium_ingot, Witherite Ingot cataclysm:witherite_ingot, Nether Star minecraft:nether_star, Dragon's Breath minecraft:dragon_breath. The other Fragments complete their universe's quest chapters.

At tier 12 you can Rebirth. The spawn city shows the server's best tier on its 12 pillars.
