Overclockers help reducing lag from many identical machines working side by side, both for client and server. And they are more than balanced by increased energy consumption per operation.

Condensers are useless. On piece of lapis =40k heat roughly =40k eu = 2 lava cells.
-
Btw, infinite explosions can be stopped by disabling (by wrenching down or otherwise) the source of electricity.
-
Yep, breeding is MUCH easier in 1.106.
-
No, you don't get bonus for 12k+ temperature
-
Nerfed by half. Single cell was making 10eu/t, now it is 5eu/t. There are other factors, but they kind of cancel each other.

i like how finaly there is something using Gold.
And copper. I heard a lot of complains about how people can't find use for copper. And that much less non-stackable components are used in crafting. There are lot of good things in this update, but, you know... -
NNot sure if second design works, vents in the middle gain heat fast
-
Reactors now are twice as expensive, half as powerful and no CASUC. Grumble, grumble.
-
Anothe problem is that reactor hull temp is updated per each element, so next element work with changed temperature. As a result, anything after serious heat source (like uranium 4-pack) will heat much more than those before. It was not as apparent when elements were small, but now is glaring.
My suggestion is to accumulate hull heat changes (and may be, all element heat changes) in variable(s) and apply changes only after end of cycle.

I have just realized that CUSUC like piles are still possible as I saw a lack of code allowing RP pipes to be used and I doubt Eloramm has implemented a method to disallow certain blocks to connect. Just replaced buckets with heat storage cells and build cooling generators.
Yes, but it is not likely to be effective. Heat storage cells are prohibitively expensive. Pipes can be used for replacing uranium cells and such, though. -
Can someone post designs of 160+ eu/t reactors?
-
Works in SSP, not worinkg in SMP.
-
What? broken RP based exploit was nerfed? That's a shame /sarcasm
CASUC require a great deal of skill to make working, are not OP in anyway (compared to wind gens, for example), and was actually much more realistic than what we have now.
Axing this possibility is a big mistake. -
Can't climb scaffolds any more.
-
From what i see, reactors are nerfed into oblivion. There is no cooling dissipation elements anymore, so reactor can only make as much energy as surrounding water can dissipate, i.e. 30 eu/t - ish.
Edit: Ah, dissipating elements are called heat vents now. Hmm...
-
So, what is actually dissipating heat now?
-
It seems that power consume is coded very poorly. Instead of consuming, say, 12.5 eu/t for regular engine, it eats all it can take, while working at same rate and leaving other engines set in parallel dry.
But i may be mistaken, I'll experiment more... -
1 uranium ore ~ 9 uranium cells ~ 70 mil eu/t. If you have a reactor and breeder.
If you have rp, it is quite easy. If you play smp and can use chunkloaders, or have your setup in populated area, working time is not much of issue.
If you play ssp vanilla, well, then 1 bil eu CAN be quite challenging.
But overall, i think, it is not bad idea. You can convert eu to eu/t by spamming windmills from uu. Without scrap, eu>uu>windmills will give roughly same value of eu/t - about 128 eu/t per 1000uu.
If you use scrap, windmills will be 6 times more effective, but, of cause, less portable and more laggy. -
Good thing that you start the game with 3 CASUC reactors including the stacks of ice you need to run them and the system to feed the reactor automatically.Seriously guys, yes this is affordable at some point in the game, at a point where everything is affordable. That is the whole idea behind the Void Sphere: once you have unlimited resources and EU anyways, why not craft this? Please think about the suggestion for at least a second before you post something like "Mimi when I have unlimited resources I can craft this easily, and then I have unlimited resources +1! OP!"
You can make 1.5k bucket casuc with just a loot you bring from one or two mining expeditions. It's just a chamber, 6 cores, 8 filters and 4 deployers, plus some buckets and redwire. Breeder is just a little more complex.
It can be first thing you build after you get full set of ic processing machines.
