Very High output Reactor

Try to keep things simple and practical while designing reactors. You might have a pleasing shape, but it's more expensive than necessary and has uneven condensator decay, which can cause problems in trying to automate it (depending on how you do it).

Try this: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…6p7ttnw9oiebanl6m7a9z9m9s

Only 5 chambers, higher efficiency, higher output, cheaper building cost, even heat distribution (nevermind, due to the very nature of how things work, the edge cells generate less heat. Still, the rest of the advantages stand.)

Oh hey look... it's Direwolf20's reactor design!

Which, to be honest, sucks. You're losing nearly 40% of your EU in trying to maintain those LHZ's. Remember, that thing eats a lapis every 7 seconds.

CRCS systems are more energy efficient, even if they have a higher initial layout cost.

You would do much better with a quad of 'Beast' reactors. You'd only be churning out around 1680 EU/t, but you wouldn't need to fiddle with EV and you'd end up with more EU/t in the long run by not needing LHZ's being refilled constantly.

i think the balanced soltuion for LHZ is a hybrid that pushes the heat that it cant cool internaly to LHZ or Coolingcells.
outputs are still up to 500eu/t

That isnt direwolf's reactor and if your running renewable lapis from bees or just have quarries running 24/7 (on a server or even just whenever you are online) you can get 100% of your lapis for a pretty hefty LZH reactor with no EU loss.

you are still burning lapis for energy, and that not even efficiently.

there is a reason why reflectors and LHZ are usualy NOGOs in reactor design.

if you build more reactors you can get the same amount of EU for next to 0 runningcost.

Okay, let's do the math here:

To run your reactor's Lapis on bees, you need 1 lapis every 7 seconds.

Now, Lapis Bees produce Lapis as a secondary, meaning they have to be in an ideal climate (not difficult, honestly), and even with frames they don't produce a whole lot of them. Even with Alvieries and five frame components (from extra bees) you aren't going to be getting many. Then each lapis comb only has a 25% chance of producing lapis.

Which means you're going to need 1.75 lapis combs per second. Which is faster than a centrifuge can handle. But that's okay, let's just say you've got a centrifuge per alviary.

You're probably looking at about a dozen Alviaries with five alviary frame components with proven frames kept maintained in them at all times, each with their own centrifuge attached just so they can handle the output of the non-lapis combs as well (unless you are shifting them elsewhere, because you're going to get FAR more other combs than you will Lapis combs).

Just the material components invested in something like that is enormous. By the time you've got the resources to set that up, you might've well just set up a CRCS system and gotten a better energy efficiency in the first place.

exactly, LHZ is no longtime reactor solution, no casuc is.

CRCS or mark 1s are the solution for every longtime energy problem.

Needs more plutonium. though I suppose it could work with the old repeated wrenching concept that never really got anywhere.

no even that wont work kenken, the heat it produces in one tick is more than the reactor can hold.
