How to Upgrade to Ultra Vector Plates Using Lightning

Preparing Extreme Vector Plates

Ultra Vector Plates provide the fastest movement speed available in the mod, but they cannot be crafted on a standard workbench. Instead, they are created by exposing Extreme Vector Plates to lightning strikes.

1. Craft Extreme Vector Plates and place them in the layout you want to upgrade.

2. You can lay them out in a single straight line, or arrange them in four branch lines meeting at a central point.

3. Make sure every plate connects in an unbroken sequence so the lightning conversion can travel through the chain.

Channeling the Lightning Conversion

To trigger the upgrade, expose your placed plates to lightning using one of two methods:

• Direct Strike: If a natural or channeled lightning bolt directly hits an Extreme Vector Plate, the surge converts up to 16 connected plates in a single chain into Ultra Vector Plates.
• Lightning Rod Junction: Place a vanilla lightning rod adjacent to your plates. When a lightning bolt strikes the rod, the electrical energy routes outward, upgrading up to 64 plates across 4 connected chains (up to 16 plates per chain).

Once converted, the resulting Ultra Vector Plates maintain standard plate properties: they push mobs and items at maximum speed while still allowing mobs to spawn on top of them.
