I think perhaps the higher the temperature the Less efficient, but the higher the EU/t (not total EU though) So a max heat Single uranium cell reactor might make like 50eu/t but only lasts for 10 seconds.
I think too. Not for Nuclear Control though. I like reactor you have to babysit 
Just call it a Forcefield. That holds energy particles, able to block anything excessively intrusive.
How would it distinguish between air and projectiles ?
(Before you say "speed", just look at the average speed of molecules of O2 at 25°C, I think it's about 100 m.s^-1 ^^)
Mix this suggestion with mine for a Quantum GraviMagnetic Field Suit =)
It would grant invincibility, given you can regen the field within time.
Each Quantum GraviMagnetic Field Suit would work alone, fully protecting the player, but all parts together has a bonus of 20% total shield (f.e chestplate only would grant X total shield, all parts would grant 4X + 0,8X)
[Thus you can't take nearly infinite damage in a very short time and stay alive]
Greg told on his profile (not edited for ages ^^) that Magnetic Force Field would maybe be used for "enchants"-like ^^.
Btw, do not make any mistake about Magnetic Fields: it's not what you imagine, Magnetic fields = a field that involve a force, which depends on the speed (vector) of an object, and of its electric charge 
(aka, not somthin that can stop any attack)
Display MoreHi, folks. GT is veeeeery advanced IC2, yes? Some recipes changed, but recipe for Quantum armor not. I think, this mistake should be corrected. Osmium can be used in this recipes. Here are some images that I drew in Photoshop
:
So 40.000.000 Eu. I think energy costs for absorbing damage must be increased x10.
Agreed, it seems a good Idea ... especially since it make the MatterFab needed again 
Although, if it has to bee so expensive, it should be buffed, and not only for storage (I think it should give invincibility once again)
I especially like the fact it makes Max Heat for the Ind. Blast Furnace useful
I'm really don't understand, how i can make computer with redstone, glass panel and stone
You don't need to understand, just not to make these computer
(aka uninstall CC)
In multiplayer rich players force noobs for work
But that's more expensive than using energy 
Display MoreMy biggest gripe with the proposed liquid salt reactor is that in real world one of it's big pluses is that it's incapable of critical malfunction resulting in anything exploding. Worst case scenario the liquid salt gets hot enough to melt away the safety plugs at the bottom of reactor and the fuel/liquid salt flows through there in a safety pit where it's spread thin over a big area allowing it to cool down completely without any need for any active protection measures.
Perhaps make that safety cooling basin an optional feature for the reactors? If one doesn't build it THEN the thing will blow up
As for the 1x1 nuclear boiler, I assume this thingy will be producing steam. Will there be something that is able to turn that steam into EU or are we supposed to use the steam upgrades on our machines?
[edit]
Oh, and the most important question: what happens to the NoInfiniteWater patch with 1.6.2 when jar modding is deprecated? Are there any hooks in Forge to disable it?
Yup, I agree. See my last proposal 
(You know, it's already irrealistic that Nuclear Reactor from IC² explode that violently, since meltdown=/=nuclear explosion but ...)
GT, can you add hardcore recipes for ComputerCraft and Thermal Expansion mods?
... TE already has harder recipes: machine frames requiring steel, every single machine requiring gears more and pulverizer requiring diamonds.
And Greg won't nerf CC since it's clearly OP and making turtles costing diamonds wouldn't change that much the balance of it, it would just make you get turtles later in the game. And according to what he already said, he only nerf "good" mods (content-wise).
LOL NO
Not Expensive enough
A Bunch of Copper isn't much, i mean you only need 1 1/2 stack of copper for the basic reactor core, and a single vent and an uranium cell for a huge amount of Early game energy.
Like, Make the actual reactor a really big Multiblock with the Inside of the reactor corosponding to the size of the GUI Slots (a 5x5x5 Reactor with a 3x3x3 inside could have 6x6x6 GUI) with steam pipes going everywhere and water/salt being pumped in and into a thermal exchanger to be hooked off with more water or Super critical CO2 then sent to turbines for like 2048eu/t.
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, RITEGS BEING CHEAPER!
*ThinkingwithSpwnXonskype*
Given the system you actually wanna implement, I would suggest:
High Heat Exchange (rate) Cells. These would be needed to exchange heat from the reactor hull to the Salt you wanna heat. You could actually place anything that exchange a bit of heat, but it would take specific slots (like slots on the border). You may place something else though.
High Heat Capacity Cells. These would be any kind of (improved or not) coolant from the IC² system. It would be a good Idea though to add coolants with more than 360 K heat capacity, since the GUI would be way smaller. These cells may be placed in the specific slots I already mentionned, but they would have a lower rate of heat exchange, so unless your design is very specific (Mk V that run 1/20 of the time then cool down its heat AND generate energy, or just because you have nothing better ^^).
THESE CELLS WOULD INCREASE THE REACTOR'S HULL CAPACITY AND NOT HAVE THEIR OWN, since it would be useful for such small GUIs.
MS Fuel cells. These would be more efficient than normal cells. They could have several different concentration (like 8 fuel dusts for one cell, 16 and 32). It would be more efficient, but the MS cells would be very annoying to process (Like extremly long recipes for centrifuge, but make it worth in terms of EU though ^^)
They would also add a bit of Capacity to the Hull, like 1/2 of "HHEC" and 1/10 of "HHCC" (refers to above ^^)
You may not use MS U/Pu/Th cells, because it's a bit more expensive (given that you need Salts) and because it makes you use a centrifuge (unless you don't wanna recycle your used cells to get back your depleted fuel and your salt, which also mean that you waste tons of Salt ^^) once the cycle is done, but it's just more efficient
Then you could make actual reactors a lot more expensive but with a bigger Buff.
Aka leave the IC² system as it is ?
Display MoreHey guys,
I'm on a server with some friends and we have the following problem: We want to use uranium for nuclear weaponry, but we can't fill the uranium into the compressor. According to the wiki, uranium is supposed to be processed in the compressor, but we can't even place it in, and NEI also doesn't list the recipe.
We're using the Ampz Modpack from the FTB Launcher and added IC² manually and removed all 3 modules of Merkanism due to another bug.
We'd appreciate any help!
Yours sincerely
-MrZ
Issues with GT maybe ?
Lets hope this doesnt crush your Hopes
It does. A bit
But it's still cool
What I was suggesting is a reactor that turn MS into "Hot MS" that you can use in a Thermal Boiler to generate energy, then you can reinsert it back into the reactor. But that is also what you suggested, for the EXTERNAL COOLING SYSTEM. The difference with what I suggested, is that I mentionned only the GUI, and the way you would exchange heat between the reactor and the external cooling system (aka to heat the MS you will use in the Thermal Boiler) would be the equivalent of the "Coolant cells" (something that can store heat but that can also transmit it).
So Mk I would be like this:
(assuming 
= Any kind of radioactive fuel, 
= these coolant/exchanger cells, 
= fuel you wanna breed 
= why not a higher capacity coolant cell, that will hardly exchange heat but may be useful for reactors you wanna switch on/off often, aka MkIII or more)
(also assuming 3*3 grid)
MkII:
(off half of the time. The should have a HUGE thermal capacity since IRL the annoying point with MSR is that they would theoretically cost Pu to "ignite", even though they can run "forever" with Thorium that you can replace meanwhile)
Mk III
or
(By the way, I assume you make no difference between heatS, so all the heat emited by cells goes directly into the "reactor hull", which means that every single component is at the same temperature)
MkIV/V:
:Intergrated Plating:
(Heat extremly fast, and then you have EU at a slow rate, to cool the :Intergrated Plating: down).
Breeders would be like:
:Intergrated Heat Dispenser: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser:
:Uranium Ingot: :Tin Ingot: :Uranium Ingot:
:Intergrated Heat Dispenser: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser:
:Intergrated Heat Dispenser: :Tin Ingot: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser:
:Tin Ingot: :Uranium Ingot: :Tin Ingot:
:Intergrated Heat Dispenser: :Tin Ingot: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser:
or MkII or more breeders:
:Uranium Ingot: :Uranium Ingot: :Tin Ingot:
:Uranium Ingot: :Uranium Ingot: :Tin Ingot:
:Tin Ingot: :Tin Ingot: :Intergrated Plating:
There would be several tiers for each components.
Once "empty" (without fuel anymore), cells could be centrifuged/electrolyzed to get depleted fuels/fuel with lower tier (Pu-->U-->Th)/some non-radioactive product if you assume the reactor is extremly efficient
As for efficiency: Heat emitted depends on adjacent cells (and their own efficiency! so the reactor have to calculate the efficiency each tick depending on the efficiency of all cell during the previous tick! Which means you could reach extremly high efficiency if you achieve making an ever growing efficiency, but beware not to reach the limit of efficiency which is Nuclear Chain Reaction = Bomb! Btw, the reactor would explode if you reach that max efficiency, and simply overheat then melt of you don't cool it enough)
For breeding, the thing SHOULDN'T depends on global heat, but only on efficiency of adj. cells. (For realism and to get rid off design that stores tons of heat to make breeding more efficient ^^)
I hope this help a bit.
Still prefer wiki design, looks cooler as it is a picture =)
What I propose is basically EXACTLY the same but the fuel is in the internal cooling circuit.
The current system of IC² is already supposed to be that, but it generate Heat AND EUs. The only thing I want is to unify both. And btw, what's the point of a MSR if it's only for the external cooling ? It just allows bigger reactor ... the whole point of MSR is to be more efficient because the capture rate of neutrons is way higher (because they are slowed down by the MS), which would IRL allow it to run even on Thorium! (where others reactors can't).
I proposed a way already:
-Here-
One of the point of it would be not to distinguish heat and energy.
And btw, it's more efficient if the fuel is MOLTEN IN THE SALT.
It's suggested already but I would like it ^^.
That and GT weapons
What if the sun disappear ? It could be the moon, or just someone that would have switched it off using a redstone current ...
I'm joking xD.
I guess such a mod wouldn't be hard to do. The only thing needed is to change the capacity of the Luminators ... But it seems that no modders is interested in doing that.
Suggestion: A multiblock advanced miner that requires a large mining drill (made from different types of materials, with both speed, durability and what resources it can mine taken into account for those materials) that takes damage over time and requires similar maintenance to that of turbines. Also have it mine a larger area than a regular one and it can extract liquids directly through an output hatch without a need for a pump (but make it require an advanced pump in the recipe). Another suggestion for it would be the ability to extract methane from coal ore using water (or sodium bicarbonate/chloride to make it more efficient) in an input hatch and you could add methane to the output of of coal ore in an industrial grinder and is a more efficient way of extracting it than the miner but at the cost of automation (also using sodium bicarbonate/chloride as an optional efficiency booster). This way you can get a lot of methane for the gas turbine, which at the moment, has no efficient way of producing the fuel required on a large scale.
Genius! Except I suggested that already, without the MultiBlock ^^. But +1 anyway, I wanna get Methane from Coal, or at least Firedamp Gas (which is mostly Methane, a bit of Hydrogen and things like Buthane), and I want a GT Miner being more efficient than a quarry, able to run even faster but consuming way more energy and with a drill taking damage you have to replace
