Create: Singularity

Transfer your mind into the machine. Create: Singularity lets you become your Create Aeronautics ship: your mind leaves your body as a free camera that flies around the hull, builds and mines from the outside, and drives the ship.

Made for the Create: Airborne modpack, usable in any pack with Create and Create Aeronautics.

The Mind Link

Place it on a ship and use it. Your body stays standing next to it (if anything hurts it, your mind snaps back and you take the hit) while you become a camera around the ship.

• Build view: fly around the hull, mine (every block in half a second; a Singularity mines with its laser instead) and build. F swaps your hand for Create's wrench.
• Helm view: an orbit camera around the ship. Every key its Linked Typewriters know drives it.
• Caps Lock switches views, Backspace leaves.

The Singularity

A 3x3x3 machine: a Singularity Core in the middle of 26 Singularity Casings. It forms by itself, and all six faces join into one big connected picture. Use any part to merge your whole body with the ship. It does everything the Mind Link does, and more:

• Radiant Lifters: three Radiant Lifter blocks in a line (any direction) form a lifter, and the Singularity flies its ship with the lifters on it: omnidirectional thrust at the helm. WASD moves across your view, Space and Shift go up and down, Q / E turn. Stabilizers (H) hold the ship still and level when you let go. Each lifter holds up more with every Thrust tier (at tier 1 one lifter barely lifts a Singularity), so bigger ships need more of them. Flying uses FE: a flat amount per lifter to hold the ship up, more while it moves, more at higher tiers.
• First-person helm (F5 at the helm): look out from inside the core, turning with the ship, through a cockpit overlay with a heading tape, horizon ladder, speed and height tapes, a reticle that fills as abilities charge, and a range finder. Scroll to zoom the optics.
• Radiant Drills: place them on the same ship as a Singularity (or Mind Link) and they join it. Hold the attack button and every drill fires a cyan beacon beam at what the camera points at, mining any block like a netherite tool (more drills, faster), and from upgrade tier 3 instantly. Each block costs FE (the drills' own from cables, then the Singularity's battery); higher tiers cost more but cool down faster after overheating. Drops go into storage, then your inventory, and what fits nowhere is deleted.
• Radiant Projector: a 2x2x2 cube of Radiant Projector blocks on the Singularity's ship. It forms by itself and lights up while it serves the machine. Effortless Building needs it, and so does Print Mode.
• Tractor beam (F to cycle tools): grab other ships and physics objects at a point, scroll to pull them in or push them out. Its strength is measured against your own ship's mass.
• Ship scanner: mass, speed, height, lift and lifters on the HUD.
• Storage: 54 slots of its own, with a custom screen (sneak-use with an empty hand). Funnels and hoppers reach it through any casing.
• FE battery: cables connect to any casing, and it holds up to 1 billion FE.
• Abilities, each unlocked and upgraded separately (R picks one, G uses it):
  • Evaporate: hold to super-charge. The machine pulses red and your screen's edges burn. Let go and the core fires: a sphere of terrain where it aims is vaporized with a sonic boom.
  • Ore Siphon (Radiant Drill tier 6, 5+ drills): on/off. Each drill picks a different ore near it, charges a guardian beam and tunnels to it. Radius and Fortune grow with each tier.
  • 3x3 Mining (tier 6, 4+ drills): on/off. Every block the laser mines takes the eight round it.
  • Laser Blast (tier 10): hold, and up to 4 drills focus on the aim point; let go to blow a sphere apart. Its blocks and the mobs' drops are gathered into storage.
  • Precise Deconstruction (tier 6, 1+ drill): Effortless Building's break modes in survival. Break a shape and the drills take it apart from the top down, a thin white beam and a growing crack each. More drills and higher tiers are faster; the ability key stops it.
  • Supercharge (Thrust tier 3): on/off, for as long as you like. Every radiant machine on the ship (lifters, drills, the projector's printing) works up to twice as hard, and everything they do costs 2.5x the FE. Sparks fly round them while it's on.
  • Print Mode (with a Radiant Projector, 1+ drill): on/off. The drills print every Create schematic deployed near the machine whose Schematic is in your inventory or ship storage, the way a Schematicannon does (belts, block data, doors and all), a gold beam per drill, with items from storage and your inventory. It only fills air and replaceable blocks, waits for missing items, and gets faster with the Radiant Drill tier.
  • Warp Jump: charge, then blink the whole ship forward along your view.
  • Repulsor Field: throws hostile mobs back and irradiates them (Create Nuclear's radiation when it's installed), turns arrows aside, and stops explosions.

The Cargo Link

Joins every storage on the ship (chests, vaults, Refined Storage networks and the Singularity's own) into one searchable terminal. While you're linked, blocks you place come out of it and mined drops go into it.

Upgrades (optional, FTB Quests)

With FTB Quests installed, a "Singularity Upgrade" quest reward gives 10 tiers of:

• camera range, the Radiant Drill upgrades (laser speed, heat, cooldown, reach, printing speed, and their abilities), lifting strength, and thrust (what each Radiant Lifter holds up, top speed, Supercharge);
• Effortless Building reach and limits, and battery capacity;
• each other ability.

Pair it with a Create Research "Research Points" task to sell upgrades for research. Without FTB Quests, everything sits at tier 1.

Works with

• Effortless Building: its build modes, mirrors and arrays only work inside a Singularity with a Radiant Projector (configs onlyInSingularity, needsRadiantProjector), with tiers of their own. Its menus wear the Singularity's look, and missing blocks come out of ship storage. In survival, placing works from the start and breaking comes with Precise Deconstruction (the drills do it).
• Create schematics: Print Mode prints them with Create's own Schematicannon logic.
• Refined Storage: networks on the ship join the Cargo Link.
• Create Nuclear: the Repulsor Field uses its radiation.

Notes

• No crafting recipes are included. Modpacks add their own (KubeJS, CraftTweaker, a datapack).
• Every number (tiers, costs, ranges, speeds) is in config/create_singularity-common.toml.
• Linking needs a block that's on a ship (Sable sub-level); off a ship, the camera still works around the machine.
