Why 3 reactor heat exchangers?

This is also an option.

Epic Lulz You could also use one of these: 1, 2, 3.

When you wan't to charge many, many cells, this could work. And getting hurt isn't really a problem for me, but sure, if you don't like getting damage, then you could invest a lot of resources in just that feature.

This could be an example. The computercube says it will explode in 593 seconds and that is even when it would be a 6-chamber reactor with a max heat of 10,000. I think the heat generation value's are wrong. When I run this for 1 second in-game, the hull has 1008 heat in stead of the predicted 896 heat. Hope it helps.

Just in UU-matter, this is about 54 less and it recharges 3 times as many cells in a cycle.

There are config options to keep the old UU-matter system and you can get a plutonium cells by combining 8 UU-matter and 1 uranium cell. Also, you can get thorium cells out of 64 coal-dust for 25,000 EU or from 2 near depleted-uranium cells and 2,500 EU.

Everything in the spoiler is not allowed to be in this thread (the reactors use Greytech components), but if you want to read it, go ahead.

First of, you can't really say its your design. I and probably others already found that way of placing the condensators next to the uranium a long time ago. I just wasn't bothered to post it, because the previous time I posted something like it, (It was a reactor which had cooling cells being fed into it and used the same layout as the currect LZH design.) people didn't like the fact that you needed to produce UU-matter to make the tin for the cells. This system didn't feel different (for me as least) from the current system where you need to produce lapis with mass-fabs, so I didn't post a lot about it. Anyway, this isn't really interesting as you can't make money with a reactor design by receiving royalties (so skipping the text above doesn't bother me).

I really think the reactor planner is wrong about the 40 quad-plutonium cells and its stats. It produces (8720(eu/t)*20(to seconds)*20000 s (running time) = ) 3488 million EU and uses only (22784(heat/sec)*20000(running time)/40000(cooling per lapis) = ) 11392 lapis, which is about (11392/9*4= ) 5063 UU, add the UU for the plutonium cells (about 160 + extra), lets say 5300 UU-matter per cycle (the planner says just 3013.42 per cycle). Lets say every UU-matter is 200,000 EU (166,667 + recycling and a bit of margin), which is 1060 million EU (give or take). Even then, 3488-1060 is more then 0 and surely not negative 807 million EU. Or am I just seeing it wrong?

THANK YOU SIR!

So this works, but this is not smart?

Nice, but don't forget to replace your component heat exchangers with regular heat exchangers where posible.

1, 2, 3 and 4.

1: 60 EU/t hybrid, which produces the 4 cells it needs in a cycle without extra replacing of cells.
2: 105 EU/t (94.1 overall) with efficiency 3.5.
3: My cheap reactor, but as a hybrid (also produces the number of cells it uses in a cycle).
4: 90 EU/t, 6 cell hybrid, but it isn't as good, because 2 depleted isotope cells need to be replaced during the cycle.

This isn't really good, but here it is anyway.

If you want to use a random selection of quad, dual and single cells, then you could also use this. And the 4 overclocked heat vents and 2 component heat vents is known for a while. I helped to improve it into this reactor.

You could do it like so, but maybe it's better if you try to breed at least as many cells as you use in a cycle.

My startup reactor.
Now available as a hybrid breeder.
It still produces 35 eu/t, but it also breeds 3 new uranium cells while running, which means 0.375 uranium per cycle.
This is the highest amount of cooling I can get out of a reactor while needing 5 slots in a plus configuration, which might not look very useful until you replace the quad-uranium cells with a quad-plutonium cell. It suggest that you can't burn plutonium at efficiency 14 (or 7, if you think that is correct) in a mk-1 reactor. Is this correct?

You need to see the reactors with water as a 3 by 3 by 3 block, which brings the total to 27. There is always a reactor in the middle, so you can have a maximum of 26 water around your reactor. With every chamber you add to your reactor, you replace 1 water source block. With a 6-chamber reactor that means 20 water (27 -1 for the reactor -6 for the chambers).

With the latest updates, all of this water becomes irrelevant as it does not cool the reactor.

I've seen that layout of the uranium cells before, but I can't really find the end result which came from the war between designs.

A quick look and I saved gold.
Or you could use this.

BTW, is this is the max eu/t (efficiently) you can get out of a single cells design?

You could also not use that much gold like so.
If you want just 2 chambers, this would work.

You could also lower the gold usage with one of these: this, this and this.

Also, I used 64 of these in 7 by (around) 7 by (around) 9 to make an autofilling, autostopping (if the 24 mfsu's are full) and autocrafting system (I hooked it up to an existing logistics pipes network).

A low UU-matter building cost alternative.
And another way of configuring it.
