I think the wiki should be updated, as there is a much better (and safer) way to start the singularity than the super risky way they suggest.
If you start the round by first turning the output of the 3 SMES off, you have all the time in the world to get your particle accelerater assembled/wired, and your plasma tanks charged, loaded, and collectors turned on. In fact, you can even go outside and switch all 4 emitters on (They don't turn off, even if they have no power). At that point, you have to go back in, max out the smes input power and set auto charge to on, turn the output on, and then go back outside and switch on the generators
(Going from the inside, top middle, top left, around till you end up at top right, at that point, go up and to the right, so you're northeast of the northeast generator, and turn it on.) Then go back inside, and turn on the accelerator to 2.
With this method, there is 0 chance to blast yourself with an emitter, and you are much less pressed for time on getting the generators up before the SMES power runs out.
The wiki makes no mention of the fact that once you turn those SMES outputs on, you are on a time limit. The cells in the APCs will keep power up throughout this procedure, as long as you don't take a ridiculously long time.
Also, as far as I've seen, once you get the singularity to 5x5, and set output to 0, it seems to just cycle between stage 2 and 3 indefinitely. At least, I set it up that way at the beginning of a round, and like 3 or 4 hours later it was still the same, cycling between stages 2 and 3. Maybe your plasma ran out on you when it shrunk down to nothing, wlerin. Or maybe it just takes an absurdly long time.
