Hey MauveCloud. Just getting into IC2 reactors on Infinity Evolved and I tried to download your planner, but it's just sending me to an xml. Only thing I can seem to download is the source code and not the .jar. All releases, even if I try to right click and save link just bring up 3kb xml file with a junk name. Is this a problem on githubs end?

Not as far as I can tell, or maybe it was briefly and they fixed it before I got to it. I just tried, and the latest release downloaded fine for me. What browser are you using, and do you have a different one installed you could try with (just in case that is somehow interfering)? Technically it could also be an ISP issue, but I don't know what you could do about it if that's the case.
-
Yup, browser issue. I should have figured. Pale moon isn't perfect yet. Alright, thanks.

Amazing tool, I honestly don't know what I'd do without it. I do have two suggestions though. First, it would be really helpful if the shopping list gave a count of each component used. Second, and admittedly this one probably isn't as useful, it would be nice if automation settings and initial reactor temp got saved in the export code.

First, it would be really helpful if the shopping list gave a count of each component used.
Originally it had a more detailed list, but others wanted a summarized list instead:
Please add a more summarized component list for easy comparison. While the current list is good for when you want to build the thing it makes it very hard to compare with other designs.
Something like
100 copper, 50 iron, 40 lead etc etcSecond, and admittedly this one probably isn't as useful, it would be nice if automation settings and initial reactor temp got saved in the export code.
I'm not sure those are worthwhile to add to the code. The code takes care of the grid, but a few extra numbers that can easily be copied separately, and are often just left as default?
-
Why not show both an itemized list of materials AND a list of components? Saves the user the trouble of counting each heat vent.
I save reactor designs by planner code, so having the additional parameters get baked in saves me bookkeeping. I did say it probably wasn't that useful XD. -
Is there a Gregtech thread? I THINK this 1207 heat reactor is the biggest thorium reactor that can be made. Not sure where to put it.

Hey MauveCloud,
I am having trouble understanding some of the nuclear design math, been research your code and its somewhat helpful yet there is lots of stuff where i don't understand where to look. Can you please take a look at my topic and help me with some of the math?
I like your planner, but its not displaying enough information for me to understand what I should place.
I also know a java, and maybe if i could figure out the math and how you set up your code I can make a feature for your planner that helps people like me with the greater details. Like adding more info on highlighted components.
-
Hey thank for the reply, one thing that confuses me is yea when it comes to siding.
For your responce of heat dispersement so far all my heat value i believe are even.
I also read this and having a hard time understanding
The heat generated by each pulse is, for unknown, quantum-physic-based (balance) reasons, dependant on the amount of coolant elements surrounding the Uranium Cell:
4 (fully surrounded): 1 heat @ each element
3 : 2 heat @ each Element
2 : 4 heat @ each Element
ok now practical math, this is based of a planner on my phone
3 uranium single sells side by side in a row is said to be only 36 heat.
i found a calculation from your code about one single uranium heat based of neighbors and it said the 2 uranium cells on the outside should generate 12 heat, while the one in the middle should generate 36 heat totaling 50 heat.
what am i doing wrong.
-
Also would be good if you could display eu and hu info in the component section when clicking the i of the component
-
3 rods in a line would produce 48 heat:
- Left pulses itself and the middle => (1 + 2) * 4 = 12 Heat
- Middle pulses itself, left then right => (1 + 2 + 3) * 4 = 24 Heat
- Right pulses itself and the middle =>(1 + 2) * 4 = 12 Heat
12 + 24 + 12 = 48 Heat total
-

Middle pulses itself, left then right => (1 + 2 + 3) * 4 = 24 Heat
I just dont understand why 2 and 3, would they not be both 3 for 3 pulses each for neighbors?
Ok maybe a pulse is like amount of hops between cells like connecting to a site or another computer on a local network, requires hops on the network to get to destination device?
-
Uranium doesn't scale linearly by its neighbours, each time it is pulsed the effect increases by 4. Thus the first pulse will be 4, the first neighbour will be 8, the next neighbour 12 and so on. It should be noted dual and quad rods are the equivalent to having 1 and 2 neighbours to start with respectively, thus the maximum a heat a rod could output is 112 (3 pulses being a quad rod, then 4 from all neighbours).
A pulse itself is more of an internal concept to the way reactors tick, practically speaking it is just the number of rods effectively touching the one in question + 1.
-
Ok so i am getting the concept now a little better, but to clarify ill try to do the dual rod 3 rod linear calculation
left => (1+2+3+4)*4
center => (1+2+3+4+5+6)*4
right => same as left
-
i feel like a slow learner, just difficult to make sense of all these numbers.
maybe this can help me, how does this from the planner code source apply to the calculation you taught me for a single uranium rod
Codeint pulses = countNeutronNeighbors() + 1; int heat = 2 * pulses * (pulses + 1); -
And also 112 seams kind of low for max heat of a quad, since minimum its 96 and it has 4 sides
with an assumption of calculating this
center = 96 + ((1+2+3+4)*4) = 136
-
Having gone back over what I said you are indeed right, I did miss a step for dual and quad rods. They double and quadruple the calculation result from doing it twice/four times in game, hence where the names come from
So what you worked out for the 3 dual rods is right if you double all the numbers (ie 176 in total instead of 88), as is the max heat 4x smaller than what it should be (448). The numbers certainly sound more logical when done right. -
Wow, I am slow.
So thank you for your support.
I figured it out by comparing all formulas. The wiki is missing equations for dual and quad, but MauveCloud application source code freaking just kicked in my mind. I don't know why it did not make sense but his math is simple.
Single uranium cell
Codeint pulses = countNeutronNeighbors() + 1; int heat = 2 * pulses * (pulses + 1);
Duo uranium cellCodeint pulses = countNeutronNeighbors() + 2; int heat = 4 * pulses * (pulses + 1);And quad
Codeint pulses = countNeutronNeighbors() + 3; int heat = 8 * pulses * (pulses + 1);I guess my issue is not understanding why he used 2 for single as a base rather then 4 when they say one uranium cell produces 4 on its own. Now doing the single cell math i get that it adds up. I wanted to write a topic after figuring this out, but now i feel like its litterally right under everyonce nose.
Maybe I should since other tutorials seam to miss the basic stuff, and just blabber their detailed theory with no background ro sufficient background.
