Evidence
Players had ~ 1 Million Coal Singularities in their ME Terminal. When asked about how these were obtained, players gave vague answers about automation/autocrafting/magical crops/coal trees. They also claimed to have had 15 quantum compressors. The dupe setup was found inside a Compact Machine connected to the players' ME terminal. As soon as I started asking them about their setup, one of them veinmined the compact machines "to move them to their new setup."

Evidence that this duping occurred is redacted from this post in order to not show the exploit. A bit of math showing the feasibility of their story is provided below for the curious reader. To further highlight the absurdity of having 1 million singularities, this math will assume that the server loads all chunks 24/7 while running at a constant 20 TPS.


To generate one coal singularity, one quantum compressor must be supplied with 10K coal and 5,000 FE/Tick for 1,000 Ticks.

20 Ticks = 1 Second. In other words, it takes 50 seconds for a compressor to make one singularity.

50 * 1,000,000 = 50,000,000 Seconds of compressor operation time.

50,000,000 / 15 = approx. 3,333,000 (rounded down slightly) seconds for 15 compressors to make 1 Mil singularities.

3,000,000 seconds is approximately 34 days. These players joined on December 24th, which is not even 30 days ago.
