Mark I-O EC Reactor

Seems to be working in-game and also stable with the theorycraft test tool here.
As you can see, 4 chambers, 35 EU/t, and 2.33 efficiency. Heat on the water cells hasn't gone up in many a tick.

This design would be cheaper to make.

The designs both have as much cooling as it does heating. Despite what the theory crafting tool says, it shouldn't be gaining any heat at all.

This one is also more efficient, 8 panels, +2 chambers.

With the design I posted the theorycraft tool was showing the components gaining a little heat but holding steady at low heat counts.

Talonius, I'm pretty impressed. That one is definitely better. Same EU/t, same efficiency, same heat, fewer components. I didn't think to border a uranium cell with a cooling cell.
Serg, I don't know how well that'll work. A cell doesn't contribute any cooling unless it has some heat and the theorycraft tool is showing 6 cooling cells sitting at 0 heat while the one bordering the reactor on the right is climbing at a 2-3 heat/tick. Edit: Yeah, theorycraft tool blew one of the water cells and everything got melty quick.
Do cooling cells redistribute heat to neighboring cells or no?

Serg's reactor works fine too, all cooling cells have atleast one dispenser sitting next to them

While Cooling Cells don't transfer any of their given heat to it neighbours, Heat Dispensers will withdraw heat (upto 6 heat per reactor tick) from Cooling Cells in an effort to balance heat levels out.

Interesting. The theorycraft tool had Serg's reactor fail at about 3400 ticks, one of the cooling cells popped and it went downhill from there.

I'm sorry about that, I was working in the theory crafter all day and got tunnel vision.

Here is a copy paste from another thread. These two should work perfectly.

Vendan's MK 1 - EC -4 Chambered +/- 0 Heat

I like Vendan's. It's pretty good.
Edit: So, question. Is a 'cycle' defined as one full usage of a uranium cell? I.e. if I'm going for a Mark II, it means I completely consume the cell without meltdown despite a positive heat/cooling ratio?

Yup
