Ahh, nice to see you again. The Plutonium Reactor is a really good one. However, no normal person is crazy enough to spam Nuclear Fuels like that first Reactor.

Probably not, but at least I've beaten previous one.

Hm. http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…hwbbcxrl10lfn8ddouwzc0rnk - 275EU/t

Edit: After some fiddling, I gave birth to this (MK II, close enough) - http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…363wg8x0ihn200ruqzepplzi8 - 290EU/t
I doubt there's a way to squeeze more from single cells, it may be possible, but I really doubt it. (Here is 285EU/t MK I, if you don't like MK IIs)

Do you even lift? http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…5whvdzluix9mpkvo4lkg9ihvk

Reflectors are for pussies. http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…hvs201iz3372abrxl6orwlaf4

If you don't look at what I wrote above, you can look at this. http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…zbygvb8yqqa9fdm4lnw740cn4
It's cheap and efficient double plutonium reactor, that can be automatically refueled very easily and prefers company of at least 9 exactly the same reactors. (Yes I see thread name and no I did not go through all posts and yes I hope it is not noobish design)

Getting started with the new planner, hope it's worth it. Eff 4 160 EU/t.

Edit: 5 chamber, 140 EU/t, Eff. 7. First Eff 7 I actually got to work, so here it is http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…kzqbqar4atud2lpenxhptd91c
I think it looks rather expensive, but I see no cheaper already on the list.

Edit2: made it cheaper a bit

Why would someone need second github acc ?

Actually I use 2 overclockers in every machine since earlygame, then jump to 4 as soon as possible (with the first MFE). I find it more comfortable, because geo-gens are powerful enough to feed them. Right after that I go straight for mining laser and reactor. I always have first reactor before first house. Yes, I have all my machines, bed and chests laying on a grassy hill.

Quote from Rick

Just wait till the planner is here. You havent seen the most optimised designs yet and already whining about balance...

Optimistic, huh ?

Quote from mcmz4e

twice as expensive, half as powerful

This is definitely not true, however, I suggest setting cell output back to 10 in config.

Quote from mcmz4e

expensive, highly complex monster

That's the way it should be.

Currently is it way harder to tinker with reactors, because system is new and there is no planner. (I refuse to wait hours while testing designs) Once planner is released, new designs will start appearing very fast and people who don't care about making them will just have to choose one they like most. For most players, nuclear power redesign means only few more recipes to learn.

FenixR hates me, oh god what have I done.

I'm not sure if you don't know this already, but I lost the game. It was so epic loss that I had to tell you all.

I will just leave here this link for those who have no idea what I am talking about.

Once new planner is released, I'm sure there will be plenty of powerful designs.

Quote from baturinsky

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.

baturinsky, please.

With a 'Quad Uranium Cell', this would even increase to a maximum of 7 pulses.
I don't get that one yet.
Single cell pulses once 5EU/t - 2 touching pulse twice per cell - 20EU/t
Dual cell pulses twice per cell 20EU/t - 2 touching pulse 1.5 times per cell-combo - 60EU/t
Quad cell pulses 3 times per cell 60EU/t - 2 touching pulse 1.33 times per cell-combo - 160EU/t

Arent we actually losing efficiency ?

It was strange. There was cable connecting reactor and mfsu, but no energy flow could be measured. Energy stored in MFSU was increasing though. I hve to investigate more later.
What I did was:
Placed reactor, added glass fiber to the side and lever on top.
Added MFSU on the other end of the cable.
Then removed cable and lever and added 6 chambers.
No energy was flovwing when i added redstone signal.
Added glass fiber connecting top of top chamber and top of mfsu.
Provided redstone signal and thats when it happened.

Quote from I don't now

Quad uranium cell surrounded by 4 thick neutron reflectors gives 280 EU/t. Didn't find a way to cool it yet.

Does it deplete faster or only output is increased ?

Quote from Alblaka

Tutorial is in the writing. For the time being, happy nuking

Thanks for releasing anyway. Strange bug with cabling+reactor occurred for me though, I will try to find out how to duplicate it.

Quote from koi

EDIT: not really. Maybe creative mode has different values?

You test in survival ?

Hm... I got same numbers with 5 chambers and enegry isn't even transferred when i connect cable to a chamber, so 6 chamber one gives 0.
Nope. It was bug with cables (MFSU getting energy and cables showing 0EU/t). It is 60EU/t with quad cell and 6 chambers.

So, it has begun, but where is tutorial or anything ? Is this going to be agriculture-like secret or am I too hasty ?

Uranium cells have been nerfed (partially).
Single cell = 5 EU/t up to 10EU/t?
Dual cell = 20 EU/t up to 20 EU/t?
Quad cell = 60 EU/t up to 120 EU/t?
? - depends on chamber count

Coolant cells:
- now only store heat
- 3 tiers: 10K, 30K, 60K of storage

Heat exchangers:
- work like old Heat dispenzers
Normal: enchange heat among hull and domponents and itself (1x)
Advanced: does the same as normal but faster (2x)
Reactor: are faster too, but work only with hull (3x)
Component: faster but work only with components, can't pass heat to vents (2x)

Heat vents:
- remove its own heat
Normal: normal speed (1x)
Advanced: faster (2x?)
Reactor: can absorb heat from hull (<1x?)
Component: can absorb heat from nearby components (1x?)
Overclocked: can absorb heat from hull (2-3x?)

Neutron reflectors:
- increase efficiency of cells
- Single cell: +10EU/t per cell
- Double cell: +20EU/t per cell
- Quad cell: +40EU/t per cell
various types differ only in heat stored

Hull plating:
- probably affect reactor heat resistance and maybe the amount of heat exchanged with components

RSH and LZH condensers:
- will always receive heat
- difference in the amount of heat stored (LZH can store more)
- don't break on reaching max heat

It should also be sticky and highly flamable. Ability to spontanoiusly combust would be fine too. That would be one awesome construction foam.

Quote from MatLaPatate

It's not "being OP" or not. The problem with the quarry, is that it make you stop mining by yourself. The same would happen with the Upgraded Miner.

I disagree, current miner is enough to stop mining completely (if more of them are used).
