It costs 774 copper, 189 iron and 108 gold >.>
I think it's a little bit too expensive.

Quick is not equal to cheap

In 2 weeks of testing they missed that many bugs? Am i missing something here?

What is this topic?:
Listing the best reactor designs sorted by mark intended for ppl who want to make their reactor but are wondering about the design. They can look here and see all good designs in 1 topic. All credits go to the one who created the reactor design. Post your reactor in this topic and if its good enough i will ad it to the list. This is not a topic to teach you how reactors work. See this topic for some info about the components: Component summary

Rules:
-No useless eff 1, low eu/cost etc. I want this list to contain high quality reactors that have been properly designed.
-No mods other than IC2. Reactors that use redpower 2 or buildcraft or any other mod are not allowed.
-Eu/tick is measured as average eu/tick
-Obsolete reactors will be removed (a reactor will be considered obsolete when another reactor does exactly the same but better like with lower cost)
-Credits go to the first person that post in this topic. Iam not gonna check the whole forum if you see someone taking credit for your design pm me and show me the evidence. Improving a reactor means credits go the the person that improved it.
-Breeders have to manage their heat automatically. That means no babysitting. Use heating cells to achieve this.

Terminology:
Reactor ticks = 1 reactor tick is 1 second.
Cycle = 10000 reactor ticks. Uranium cells last for 10000 ticks.
Efficiency = amount of average ticks per uranium cell for each reactor tick.

Beginner reactors:
These reactors are focused on making as much eu that is possible at the highest efficiency.

Hybrid reactors:
These reactors combine normal reactors with breeders. Usually has lower output and efficiency than normal reactors and breed less cells than breeders but they can do both at the same time.

Reactor 1:

• Link: Mark 1 breeder EA
• Cells charged per uranium cell: 0,25
• Eu/tick: 230
• Efficiency: 3,83
• Cost: Iron 261, Copper 685, Tin 75, Gold 84
• Credits: uolamer

Breeders:
These reactors are purely made to breed cells. They produce almost no eu but they will breed alot of cells.

Breeder 1:

• Link: Cheapbreeder
• Heating configuration (with timing): Autopilot
• Cells charged per uranium cell: 28
• Efficiency: 1
• Eu/tick: 5
• Cost: Iron 96, Copper 403, Tin 47, Gold 2
• Credits: stretchydeath

Breeder 2:

• Link: Efficient breeder
• Heating configuration (with timing): Autopilot
• Cells charged per uranium cell: 84
• Efficiency: 1
• Eu/tick: 5
• Cost: Iron 181, Copper 1196, Tin 93, Gold 2

Quote from CrafterOfMines57

Try crafting it with unfilled sprayers

It should explode and kill you with foam spam all around you if you try to fill a filled sprayer. Afterall its already full and it has to go somewhere xd.

Damn you kane_hart

Quote from RichardG

If we release it like that, we get people like kane_hart on our back for releasing incomplete or broken features. It's also vulnerable to a dupe bug again due to remote GUI closing changing.

EDIT: Context being the cropnalyzer

/ban kane_hart
???
Win!!

Quote from FenixR

As long as im around: Nope.

You sir are a certified asshole xd

Quote from koi

+1
It's friday already, we will have some free time to test it out and flood Bugs section with countless posts!

Even if its just to take revenge on alblaka for his trolling muhahaha

Quote from Alblaka

Not really, I'm working on a IC 2.0 branch in regards to new content ^^, independent from 1.105

So release 1.105....

This is the last day for the kickstarter campaign so dont forget to pledge!!

Quote from imer

We won't - there are plenty of mods out there ;D

Ye but 99% of those mods arent really comparable to IC2.

So do you want to be the last big tech mod to update? xd

You know the more alblaka is teasing us the more i think that the beta is already working perfectly (well aside from minor bugs) but they just delay the release a week or so so they can have some fun.

Buildcraft and railcraft are updated for 1.32 btw. So its just redpower and IC2 now. I guess you dont wanna be the last mod to update? xd

HEEEY SEXY ehm URANIUM!!!!

Quote from FenixR

Demmmmmmmmmm bugsssssssssssss... No?

BUT..BUT..BUT.. IF REACTOR WORKZ ME HAPPY!!

Quote from Alblaka

Btw, I've recently wrote up a full explanation of the Reactor system here:
[NEW] Reactor System

l2 make working links nub

Also if the explanation is done then its time to release the new IC2 version right? xd

Quote from dragonherald

Maybe Alblakas waiting for one of us to write a guide before he releases the version as its working fine?

Well i guess we could write a guide then blame alblaka that the new reactors arent following the guide when new ic2 is out

Quote from fangfire

I always loved the craters for reactor explosions, probably the most entertaining way to find out you screwed something up.

ye especially when 'testing' a reactor at someone's else place lol
