Not to mention it would be easy for people to use "pin" numbers and have a sign to make 4-digit pin numbers good idea only make it one personal chest with a circuit on top instead of 3. Being able to link them all would be a plus say 3 at most. Lastly, a remote changer, should be an advanced circuit with a wire underneath on the sides and glowstone on top with redstone filling the corners. I give it a 7 out of 10 and would actually use it on a server.

KAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM massive nukesplosion I generally don't use stuff like pressure plates because hello human error (minecraft steve gets distracted by butterfly... BOOOOOOOOOM)

So does building a reactor X_X I honestly don't bother doing this sortof stuff but now that ice cooling is better than water buckets I've found a system (I've only done small scale tests and non CASUC reactor designs) regardless how big the factory may be(BC teleport pipes hint hint wink wink) if you have enough resources most any reactor design is possible.

Using BC 2.2.5 -

Welp... my cactus farm has succeeded in become almost useless... I have a PC full of cactus green and a PC full of waterproofing... what now? I had it hooked up to a recycler for the time being, but I'm thinking of building a new processing plant nearby and am wondering if I can put this cactus farm back to good use.

So, I've hooked up the cactus output to an assembly line that converts them into biofuel cells.. which then leads to a canning machine to fill up fuel cans. I then wanted these fuel cans to run to a storehouse of generators, which would power the processing plant.. it works... sort of... however, it's horrible at getting the fuel to the generators and then back to the canning machine.

Pic of my current setup:

Like I said, the thing works... but the empty fuel cans end up floating around in this circle, going in and out of generators, before finally managing to hit the diamond pipe and get sent back to the canning machine.

I could pump the system FULL of fuel cans, to increase odds of some making it back to the canning machine, but I after 2 hours of sitting and thinking I decided to come ask the community for advice. How can I optimize this setup?

IDEA!@!@ use an ingenous route of cobblestone and stone pipes seeing as they dont connect it would be easy... then route them to a series of iron pipes slowly connecting them...also gold pipes.

EDIT* sorry for double post

In response to everything. I was talking about for people who were really insane enough to go the UU-Matter route personally I have a 2chamber reactor that powers my factory producing ice (not just ice) (the design uses 4 stacks of coolant per run its a MkII-something or other-SUC and if anyone finds that uran recipe tell me I sortof leeched the ground of its uran

well if your hell-bent on using fuel you can farm tin with UU-Matter (I wouldn't advise it) it isn't fast AT ALL but if you REALLY wanna get something working this is it. alternatively you can use coal although you get 3 less coal than tin for the same amount of matter X_X

for the coal in a 9by9 square it is
spppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
pppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
there is a space in there

for the tin it is pp
pppppppppppppppppp

EDIT* sorry about the P's the forum keeps destroying the recipes :O
and again alternatively if you just wanna go nuclear roundabouts now... well I cant help you i forgot the recipe

get redpower for better panels.

Epic failure... have you sir been paying attention to the conversation? People are complaining about Redower in this thread and you simpy say use the RP features? fail.

1.15 thermal generators directional sound is messed up (I only noticed the thermal generator nothing else. would like some feedback on that) the sound comes in the opposite direction of the actual generator like you stand right next to it with it on your left and hear it out of the right headphone/speaker but sound levels seem normal the farther you get the quieter.

impossible. impossible to make it a mark III just completely impossible unless... SUC ice. buildcraft.

Sure it would be cool, but would it really be worth it? I mean, it would probably take a LOT of time to code

Let Al finish the orbital death ray and mass teleporter first

that would take what. 15 MSFUs of energy?

You need nuclear power 101. First things first, nuclear power is generated when two uranium atoms collide. This creates tremendous heat and tremendous pressure turning a turbine somewhere (how the heck should I know where? It's like rocket science) the turbine turns mechanical energy is turned into electric energy (shady on this part too). The electric energy can then be stored in battery silos or go straight to our homes. When the two attoms crash into eachother they have so much force they split and recombine this is called nuclear fusion or fission (not sure which but i do know there is a difference). (oddly enough its also what happens when we set of a nuclear bomb who woulda though? oh wait. everyone.) I apologize for the inconsistencies and the lack of knowledge therof. It's not like i work at one of these places heck I'm only 14!

Generally you shouldn't use any reactor platings in a non-breeder reactor, cos the goal is to maximize the cooling.

Example:
http://test.vendaria.net/index…HCCUHCCCHUUCHCCHCCCHCCCHC

It will need like an hour CD between runs though

what about the cost-efficiency ratio? Whats your oppinion on that?

Quote from OCAdam

It's a Mark IV barely. You had the cooling cell that was pretty much surrounded by the sets of 3 U Cells get destroyed, but that was it. Besides that, it was a Mark II-1C.

Personally I don't like reactors unless they get near a Mark II-10X, so I can't rate it too high on my personal ideology. You could have possibly replaced a lot of the reactor plates with Cooling Cells instead though to help with the cooling measures. But that's just nitpicking. For a first reactor design, it's not terrible.

So close yet so far. so very very far.

2. Have you played industrial craft before:yes. Tail end of IC

3. Have you ever been
banned from a server : TECHNICALLY. yes but the admin was a douche and mass banned everybody problem was fixed 3 days later

4. additional information : I would like to build a power station and sell EU

Do you accept that as server owner, I retain my right to kick, ban, or otherwise take punitive action against you if you choose to:
1.) Steal materials from other players.
2.) 'Grief' or modify players structures without their consent
3.) Not maintain a respectful attitude for all players, regardless of the circumstances
4.) Build obnoxious structures such as 1-block dirt columns, or explore excessively.
5.) Use unfair (subject to interpretation by me) mods such as X-ray or Flight
Yes i agree to all rules. Do you count the slime finder mod as unfair?

you can. with the right amount of redstone. Cause it to stop the cycle cooldown a bit and startup again. but that would take a lot of redstone

thanks for the feedback. Are the reactor plates not worth it because it really doesn't cool that well or because it cant distribute heat well?

Hey all this is dragonherald and I constructed a reactor meant to run all the cells down with little to no maintenance tell me how i did. http://test.vendaria.net/index…PHCUCHPHCUUCHPHPPHPHCHHCH

EDIT: I'm not adept at using the simulator program. I would like some feedback on how to properly use that tool
