a good combo is reflector, surrounded with cells. making new setup with it now

I made this very cheap 80EU/t (40 EU/t calculated) stable design. Usefull for a first reactor.
EDIT: And a new design with 2 less components.EDIT: And after testing to see how uranium cells distributed heat, a cheaper one.EDIT: And a bigger reactor I've made. 480 EU/t (240 EU/t calculated) stable.

I made the big reactor better if you were to add the last two chambers
(Yes that is the updated planner, but it's still not complete and is "rough around the edges"

Nice, looking forward to the planner. Currently using a spreadsheet for calculating the heat and flow of heat.
Had a 6 chamber reactor to start with, and used 5-6 quad uranium cells, but the thing blew up my MFSU's, so changed it to 4 quad's and after that minimized it to 4 chambers.
I think 5 quads is the maximum you can have in a stable non-CD reactor though, but want to see if I can make it with 6 when I get my hands on the planner.EDIT: Didn't wait for the planner, created one easily enough, but it only just exactly cools enough. 576 heat - 576 cooling, but stable and working. Outputting 360 EU/t (720 EU/t ingame currently), so don't put it directly to an MFSU without a HV transformer in front.
EDIT: And just for fun created a 7 Efficiency 140 EU/t (280 EU/t ingame) reactor from it, though it has way more cooling than needed.
EDIT: And here is the big reactor in the new planner LINK =) -
mm, I made myself a nice Single Celled, MK1, 6 chamber design
Outputs 330EU/t(165EU/t standard), can run indefinitely, and only uses single cells, which means no mass compressing of copper and actual 10,000 second cycles
Currently working on a more compressed/less resource-intensive design.
EDIT: Just replaced the design, as I realized a vent that seemed like it wasn't being used actually WAS, which made it start heating up when I removed it...

you only need 5 surrounded overclocked heat vents to cool those uranium cells =)
EDIT: take back my words. was thinking wrongly. need 9 =)
Also I would recommend if you are trying to keep it cheaper, to make every Component Heat Exchanger that is only touching 1 side of an Overclocked Heat Vent into a Basic Heat Exchanger / Basic Heat Vent combo, since that is way cheaper. -

EDIT: Just made the design a tad bit cheaper. http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…238ai7ikrpyeoe1kkar9wqku8
I think this is my favorite design yet, I may just use this to power my base~On a side note, anyone care to try making it even cheaper, without changing it from MK1 and single-cell design?
EDIT#2: Well, the 2nd design is a bit cheaper in iron.....
I'm still happy with it. -
Just made a starters design, pretty cheap resource-wise, MK1 single-celled, and a pretty good EU output

Meet the Quadrant II, the mobile (for frames) hybrid breeder: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…b0lalwq9cptplr54f1cc4xfeu
And its stationary counterpart the Quadrant III: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…w3j9qn98w2hj614hnx26psjt2
On a side note, the reason they lack plating or combined cells is because I like the simplicity that comes with it. And I can put more cooling into it so I can (almost, I need to keep an eye on those isotope cells) walk away with worry.
I just came up with this bit of "lunacy:" http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…0xu6bg685owtt1avmnnzt07ra 25 EU/t MK 1 EA + (one fuel cell)
Craziness (and wise cracks) (copy and paste only) (new topic?):
True lunacy: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…8dtnekbsk832ayzkr9hdn44sm 6960 EU/t and a crater. 20896 heat in one tick

http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…ot4x8ob9qxamo82wgcq6iy874 a very silly breeder

http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…61zp4yr7qnqyfqo2obu6bdiww Funny, ha ha.
What do these two say?

This one will http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…3l15yizzc5r3gkgcslmuz1mo0 on you in a very spectacular manner if you leave on for more than a minute.

http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…zc8cfz2vcmsq3d37fw8463280 Just got trolled by the reactor.Anyone else what to come up with really silly (but semi useful) setups?

Just simplified your design, and and cut down a good bit on the resources for it, RockRaider.
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…xtb6x7xmib3e4ivum72s2qlae
EDIT: Just took your lunacy design and gave it the ability to cool itself off, and not explode in 1 button push

Here's my starting reactor.

Copied some stuff from the old topic to this one. May need some changes but i look into that later. Also checked out the new reactor planner and made 2 cheap mark 1 reactors and putted them in the list. Enjoy!!

Reactor 4:

- Eu/tick: 120

- Cost: Iron 108, Copper 132, Tin 24, Gold 16

Thought my design was pretty effective and semi cheap for a 360 EU/t Mark I EB reactor until I saw that.
Remade my 360 EU/t Mark I EB with that technique and it costs a lot less.LINK: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…hn7qfe5668p1h1tlp46dt02yo
Cost: Copper 484, Tin 56, Iron 286, Gold 48...vs
LINK: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…qepjh57nsxb2s67ib7a7krocg
Cost: Copper 561, Tin 101, Iron 350, Gold 44, Diamonds 4...EDIT: And while I'm at it, a Mark I EA 260 EU/t reactor, Eff 4.33
LINK: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…i6jwwramvldqwux41d7swsn40
Cost: Copper 397, Tin 107, Iron 340, Gold 32...Also I'd have thought that it would be cheaper using a basic heat exchanger/heat vent combo instead of the component heat vent, but apparently its not. =(

http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…dmmk4eteqhgqbs8az1qsu62gw
Getting started with the new planner, hope it's worth it. Eff 4 160 EU/t.Edit: 5 chamber, 140 EU/t, Eff. 7. First Eff 7 I actually got to work, so here it is http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…kzqbqar4atud2lpenxhptd91c
I think it looks rather expensive, but I see no cheaper already on the list.Edit2: made it cheaper a bit

Mk 1, EA+220/tick, full cycle, 5.33 efficiency - link uses thick reflectors, for lasting a whole cycle.
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…x6cwu8dnxrfq9d60z3qja8q2o
cost(thick):259i, 609c, 101t, 118g
cost:259i, 513c,65t,118gor without the reflectors : 4.33 efficiency, 260/tick
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…pvfxur7x7ijv5w96qpl109la8
cost:227i, 468c, 74t, 118gMistic on #Industrial-Craft extended the idea to his efficiency 7 reactor (140 eu/tick, using neutron reflectors) :
Mk 1, EA*
(Mistic's original: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…cypeml7e1m2t0xu9ultndh3b4)
mistic's revised 4 chambers:
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…shrgzsnr36wayel21gam037cw
cost(thick): 213i, 523c, 109t, 96g
cost: 213i, 395, 61t, 96g.
(edit: yes, i know thick neutrons are more expensive - i chose to put them in because they are 1 replacement/cycle; i've added costs with thin reflectors.) -

Made it even cheaper. Never use thick reflectors, they work exactly same as normal, but costs about 25% more.And it is not eff 7, because it burns components. It is around 6.5 effective with RP2 (i.e. with scrap-assisted muu generation for replacing copper), and about 4-5 eff in vanilla IC2 (because there is no way to make sufficient amount of scrap in vanilla IC2)

Hehe sorry i had to improve it. Halved the gold costs but it costs a little more tin and iron:
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…8q9xfhq1uztah114jsemcixvkWorks too with thick reflectors.
