  • Reactor Control Questions

    Oh thank you thats a nice design.


    But still the reactor is not covered by water on the one side where the redstone goes it.
    I just cant imagine any way where a reactor is covered in water on all sides and still is connected to redstone.

  • Ignore my dirt house, check GLSL mod

    Uh Uh Uh!!!!


    I am irritated.


    I tried to install a shader mod a few days ago but came to the conclusion that it does not work once you have IC2 installed. When I asked the guys here how i can fix this one of the IC2 developers said that Shaders do not support important components of IC2 and it therefore wont work.


    So how did you do this?!

  • Reactor Control Questions

    Hi everyone. I am playing on a SMP Server with IC2, Buildcraft and Redpower.


    So I was reading a lot about Failsafe Reactor Systems and Things that shut down the reactor once the MFSUs are full.


    So now I am wondering how this stuff works. For failsafe systems I have not seen anything that could meassure the reactor temperature and could output a redstone singnal on a given amount of heat. You could of cause use redstone clocks to have your reactor running for around 10 minutes , then cool down for 10 minutes and so on.


    For the "overflow" safe you could of cause use the detector cable to emit a redstone charge when the mfsus are full and shut down the reactor


    BUT - both systems would require a redstone circuit directly to the reactor. And shince redstone gets wahsed away when water hits it you would have to resign of a few blocks of water around your reactor. I think you can link detector cables and restone and even buildcraft pipes(which carry a redstone signal) together to minimize the loss of wather to one or two blocks. but still this would mean a permanent loss of important cooling doesn`t it?

  • Question: Problem with Shaders

    Hi.


    Are there known issues or even fixes for IC2 and Minecraft Shader Mods?
    I was trying to install Sonics unbelievable Shaders since I saw them in a lets play and they looked awesome. On a clean minecraft.jar there is no problem with the shaders. But after using IC2 und Buildcraft I always get an error trying to install the shaders.

  • Miner Questions

    Hi Guys.


    I have a minder armed wit a diamond drill and an OV Scanner. I use him on a SMP Server.


    So now i have two questions:
    Is there a way for the ov scanner to find specific or "more worthy" minerals with him. I wander around and if the OV scanner shows around 80 i start digging. He then brings up tons and tons of coal and lesser minerals but not diamonds or lapis what i need desperately. Is there a way to optimiie this. Editing the CFG wont help since its SMP on a server...


    Also - how do you power a miner? I used a geothermal generator but collecting all this lava takes a lot of time, also its not enough to make it go smoothly...I thaught i could use energy crystals as a mobile storage but the miner wont accpet them as energy source :(

  • Mk2 goes boom?

    Quote from Talonius


    As for the output, I'm assuming you were using HV cable and it was 4 or 5 blocks away from the reactor at the point you measured the current.

    Hi.
    Also it should have outputted 70 EU/t but it only delivered 66 (measured directly on the reactor of cause).


    But thanks for the hint on the water cooling. Thinking of it - i assume you can use flowing water and not only source blocks to cool an reactor?

  • Mk2 goes boom?

    Hi.


    U recently build my forst Reactor using this design:
    http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…a=1p101010110010101001010


    But it blew up on my taking all my precious MFSU Units and of cause the reactor itself with it. I had it in a box surrounded by water (except for the cable of cause).
    Now I am a bit irritated. According to the tool this design is MK II and should not have blown up during first cicle. Also it should have outputted 70 EU/t but it only delivered 66 (measured directly on the reactor of cause).


    What could have gone wrong?

  • A few questions on Reactors

    Hi Engineers.


    I do have a few issues regarding nuclear energy. Just build my first reactor and was fascinated and a bit afraid at the same time - just like the guys in real life i guess ;)


    So i did use this design from another topic:
    http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…c0=1p10101001501521s1r11r


    It said 8.000.0000 EU total.
    After the cycle was finished, I but only had like 6.100.000 stored in my EFSU. Are those nearly 2.000.000 missing just due to the loss from my wireing?


    I mean the HV Calble has some pretty high loss per block - or lets call in resistance. This starting design puts put out very small enegry packages of 40 EU/T which is not even close to the maximum of the HV canble i used to wire the MFSU with my reactor. I read that you always should try to use wireing fitting to the electric tension you have so minimize the loss.


    So what do you think is a clever desing? Put the MFSU just outside the reactor pool and use gold wireing for starting designs?



    Also - I am whondering why when i try do do sme designing with the reactorplanner there is always one component red? I tried to build heatbrindges to lead the heat into arrays surrounded by as many cooling cells as possible. I understood that those integrated heatdispensers would even out the heat between adjacent components. So I wonder why one of the adjacent components will melt in seconds while the other one is doing fine?
