Unstopable reactor (30EU/t)

No... just No.

Eff: 1 - waste of Uranium. This reactor is Fail.

Even this one is better, and it took me 20sec to make, and its pretty bad. But over twice as good and half as big as yours.

Didnt mean to sound that hard, heck, Ive only played IC2 for a few weeks, messing with reactors for 1½ week. There's a ton of good posts on this forum, and the simulator is a great tool

Hey Rek, yours wasn't perfect either. What's up with this fetish for HDs?

Wooo!
Looks like for once I outdid you
*enjoys epic feeling*

Lolnope, that design had 4 coolants not connected to a HD

Edit @ tripleX: They are kay, but not good
AFAIK the record for a square setup is 28 heat, and the small one doesn't need that much stuff...
However, it inspired me to design a no-chamber 3-uran-row MK2. Like 50 min CD, but still neat early on!

Not anymore if that was:

Has 27 heat/tick, but the thing is that even without any testing, I can assure you 3 of the cooling cells will be broken before the end of a cycle (estimate of 2000 ticks)... so it's pretty crap of a design IMO.

But if it wastes coolants it SUCks

It does go completely against my preference in reactors, so not like I care much for that design really. If it can last more than 10 cycles (more-or-less), then I like it. Else... just no.

See it this way: You don't have to feel bad about not refueling it instantly, since it will blow if you do

The way I am anyways is to just make a larger power station of sorts where I have the power contained to about 30+ MFEs and run all the reactors for a cycle to fill the entire network, but then run a relay switch to then start directly powering all my things instead of the MFE network. So I prefer having safer reactors so I'm not watching the reactors ever besides when I'm off to put in new cores and such. Also, I'm never worried about using more uranium, so I'm not going to try for extreme efficiency at the cost of uptime.

However, my biggest problem ever has been having enough Tin for everything... oddly enough.

You know the definition of a mk2 is that you CAN run them safely for a full cycle, right?

Yeah, but I generally want 10 cycles so I can have the first storing the power into MFEs and then the 9 extras so that I can have a cooling cycle where I'm running on just the MFE power supply (TBH, I only need 6/10ths a cycle to cool down my latest reactor design from 10 cycles running).

So you mean that you, to avoid babysitting the reactor, babysits it for 10 cycles?

Makes perfect sense

Edit: Agree that we disagree?

I'll agree that we have different philosophies in our nuclear reactor designs.

But to explain a bit on the babysitting part... All I do is just exchange the U. Cells when needed and when I see the components are getting high in heat, I just don't exchange them for a while and hit one lever to switch from nuke power to MFE stored power. I feel it's a lot less effort than making complex redstone circuits and such (and I only run the IC2 and necessary mods, no Redstone Power or whatever it's called, so yeah...). Hopefully that clears things up.

I personally think that large amounts of MK I or MK II -E is the way to go now ...

... or C.A.S.U.C.

I made a reactor click here with 60eu/t. The only down side is that is has +1 heat but it won't explode any time soon XD

I will be uploading more of my "reactors"
