A list of good reactor designs (IC² v1.103 and earlier)

Back with another "breeder" reactor. I use quotes there because it's breeder in name only. Horrible cooldown time I'll admit but that's because I had two left over slots and I wanted to put them to some sort of use. Trying to add two more uranium there makes it a class 3. Instead, I put one isotope cell to make everything happy and I didn't want to just have a single cell just... floating there alone. If you have the room for it while still making it safe, why not, right?

• Link: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…kksptveenr3ff0e26m5r7evr4
• Eu/tick: 130
• Average Eu/tick: 74.5
• Efficiency: 2.60 of 2.80
• Cost: 6 chambers, 1 isotope cell (lol), 5 uranium cells, 18 heat dispensers, 30 coolant cells
• Cooldown per cycle: 123 minutes, 59 seconds

Huh... Never occured to me to put the isotope cell in right next to the main uranium cells. Really i just added that extra cell in there jsut because i could and it would let me breed at the same time. Ahh well. Also, is there any way to have more the that uranium? Or even a way to get 4 of 4 efficiency without going into mark 4 turf?

Go ask questions like this somewhere else than in this thread. Over 3 efficiency is impossible to gain without having a mark III or more and eff 4 requires atleast 16 uranium cells in a square.

mk II-2 reactor

link: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…0z7nx20exltfj1sqqgmb3hz5s
Effective Eu/tick: 85.3
Efficiency: 2
cost: high. very high.

notes: 6 chambers

mk II-1

link: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…pxzsusfmxvnm3jkae6bs2ow8w
Effective Eu/tick: 71.0
Effeciency: 3.0
cost: high, very high.

notes: putting a bucket of water in the very top left turns this design into a mk 1-O-SUC and increases to effective eu/tick to 120

for your first one

Not sure if it can be optimised even more, but here's a cheaper variant. Managed to cut it down to 13 heat dispensers.

"Managed to cut it down to 13 heat dispensers".

Managed to cut it down by almost a half. Are you honestly even trying?

I was modifying it based on the design that he posted, trimming off everything that wasn't needed.

whats the word on my second design?

edit:
designed a mk III positive breeder

Trash.
You obviously did not read that big red text on the first page.

I read it, but considering I'm new here.

the water bucket is optional, but it considerably increases output.

What does it say ?
And being new doesn't mean you have to post bad designs.

it says "-No SUC/CASUC designs (this means NO ICE OR BUCKETS!!). Having free spots for optional ice/bucket cooling is allowed through."

why don't you try and optimize it. don't criticize, optimize.

I'm sure the rules also said no efficiency 1 reactors.

now it's an efficiency 2.

It also says that you shouldn't post designs if better versions are already present.
I didn't optimise because
Your 1st is not even worth it, since it's pretty useless. (Less than 2 eff) (whatever http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…nx6m9drvra08x3w7xwcoc4tog)
Your 2nd is already in the list. (better version ofc)
Your 3rd... http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…6py62lhb9ks8ybombadaa5r9c - set generation time to 83mins 20secs

what about this one then

a mk III postive breeder

Running time 19 hrs, or you can preheat this one and run it 4 times

My first reactor build, was kind of just messing around with the site and built a Mark 2-1 reactor that works best by just having 2 reactors side by side and running one while the other is cooling down.

Got better one for you. Eff and amount of uranium is the same. http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…mxr5mkdmtcnh2rwhzvq4s5000
