Damn... and you also can't use a faucet to pour the molten steel out of the crucible into a funnel below on top of a drum. WTF?

Hey, didn't you used to be able to pull molten fluid out of a crucible? I'm making a ton of steel to make into tungsten steel to make the implosion compressor and so I melted all the iron into wrought using the smelter and a tungstensteel drum and used…

I think you mean *some*, not lots. I've been centrifuging sluice juice for most of this world ( did some centrifuging of sluice sand to get manganese before I got into acid washing, then stopped ), but I have more than a stack of…

Wow, I didn't know you could ever get it to load up once that happened once. I thought once it screws up, trying again would just do the same until the cows come come; I always have to close the re run the game when it happens.

…

I just noticed that tungsten says it melts at 3695 but the tungsten measuring pot says it can only handle up to 3645. Also the faucet and funnel do not list what temperature they can handle, and the faucet can handle 4618. Now I guess I have to see if…

Say, why would you ever want a single rod reactor core? They seem to require just as much lead, just fewer crystal processors to make, and they are extremely limiting in your output power and efficiency compared to the quad one aren't they?

Yes, you can wrench the center to output below, but the core below it will not ACCEPT the hot coolant. Ahh, I just checked and I only said 3x3 before, when I meant a 3x3x3.

Oh, I thought it was supposed to…

I just updated and tested it again. A reactor core will not pass hot coolant to another reactor core. I thought I could get a 2x2 working by arranging them in a snake pattern, with each passing both hot and cold coolant to the…

So unlike oil, which you can pick up with a measuring pot, you can't use a pressure cylinder to pick up methane?

(Quote from GregoriusT)

So does it matter which one it is? How do you capture the stuff?

(Quote from GregoriusT)

I couldn't get them to pass hot coolant to another reactor side to side. They only seem to accept cold coolant as input.

(Quote from GregoriusT)

What's the difference? It is pretty close to bedrock. All I know is that I broke a…

BTW, from my testing last week of the new reactor core, since they won't pass hot coolant to one another, that makes it impossible to make a 3x3 because there is no way to get the hot coolant out of the one in the middle.

And I finally found one of…

There are only two things and the pipe can take two things, so how is that not big enough? Also why is it that items won't continue to leave the machine when it stops, but fluids will? Odd.. I just ran a few more combs through…

So I have been breeding forestry bees this week and as a result I have been centrifuging a lot of combs. My centrifuge is connected to an aluminum brass item pipe going to a chest. Every time I centrifuge combs from rocky bees, and only these combs,…

Also it seems that the lifetime of the fuel is not effected by higher neutron flux. Are you planning on adding that? If you burn the fuel faster to get more heat out of it, it shouldn't last as long should it? I would think that would be the tradeoff…

I don't have sounds enabled, but it certainly lit up and wasn't making any hot coolant. I broke it and replaced it, and the first time it did NOT run until I put an auto on/off switch on it, but this time it runs all by itself. It seems that the heat…

Ahh, I figured out you use pincers to remove the fuel rods, but the thing still won't run any more. I even tried a machine status display switch and when I flip it on, the fuel rods start to glow, but no coolant is produced and the heat exchanger won't…

Ok, so got the core to turn on with an auto on/off switch and I tried setting up the heat exchanger. Why does it not say what sides it goes in/out on in its tooltip? Only one side seems to have markers that it does something so I put it right next to…

(Quote from GregoriusT)

Ahh, of course.. I should have thought of that.


(Quote from GregoriusT)

How so? If you aren't producing enough hot coolant to satisfy the exchanger, it will shut down at least until it gets enough. And when the heat exchanger…

So I filled it with coolant and 4 U-238 rods by right clicking since it seems to have no GUI, and it doesn't seem to do anything. No coolant is consumed or hot coolant generated no matter which way I flip the lever. Also I can't seem to remove the…
