Anyone know if MOX is worth it in the fluid reactor system? since the new system makes "power" by the dissipation of heat through vents into the cooling fluid and not directly i think mox makes more Heat per tick if the core has heat ( a quad mox with 2 ajacant quad mox heats a 60k cell by 20 "damage"/sec at 0% coretemp, and around 36 "damage" per second at 75% coretemp) thats not the proposed increase mox should have.

and that crcs system that was just shown, what itemtransport mod are you using to pull out/put in cooling cells?.

edit: using #562,

nice work, glad to see a revival, any chance of a power conversion ratio settable in config? (for those of us that use the railcrafts steam turbine conversion ratio of 8mj-25eu) or any other ratio

FYI this mod broke the production chain to the RTG (ic2 experimental). since the RTG requires a "ic2" reactor chamber and this mod disables the crafting of them, i suggest adding your "hightemp" reactor chamber in its place for the rtg recipe

reactors process components one by one in left to right, top to bottom order it does that for every component once per second ( reactor tick) so components higher and further to the left process first. you need to design reactors with that in mind ( thus why people put uranium at the topleft in designs usually)

it has excess cooling if over 64k and excess heat if under 64k due to the heating cells turning off/on so it stays steady around 64k

1668 Cells / Cycle, quadthorium breeder. Only eff 4/7, but if you need maximal charging speed, you won't easily get better than this.

quite easily actually, cheaper, hotter, 1756 cells per run

industrial steam engines producing MJ run though a transformer mod at a 16MJ to 25EU is one option, the other is get repairing turbines with blades instead of making new ones, cuts the steel cost by a large amount (around a 75% saving)

you're best off with a layer or two of reinforced stone instead of water, at-least until you can be confident at your reactor building skills

put an almost max heat cooling cell into a vacuum freezer, after a while for it to precess it spits out a fully cooled one, though to keep up with a decently sized reactor you're gona need like 20 freezers

Ten to one, you applied the usage ratio on the wrong side. Some mods may make extra thorium available from automated mining via new ores, (its available in massive quantities from mining by hand as well).

And yeah, extra thorium is useful, I'm finding thorium reactors make for excellent portable installations if you don't have some sort of magic ability to summon endermen to get eyes.

DOH! thanks for the correction. luckily before i started the component build-rushes for any reactors time to go play the minigame some more

to be honest i find "modpacks" to just be a crutch for the lazy and/or dumb. i taught my nehpew who is 9 how to properly install minecraft mods in under 20mins so he could join my extended family's private server. its really not hard to set up a modlist and config-pack then you don't even need to put any permissions on your site since you're not hosting any files. you're just linking to threads/sites from the authors AND it weeds out the probable troublemaking players and trolls since they wont bother to download the right version of forge then the 40 odd mods in the right versions separately and then the config pack. whereas any semi-serious player that has 2 braincells to rub together wont mind the slight hassle of the download / install process to play on a well moderated balanced server

so what IS the "perfect" ratio of plutonium to thorium to be uaed at the same rate as production ( 1:4 production ratio and a 2:5 usage ratio) as far as i worked out its a 5:8 ratio on the reactor ( 5 plutonium and 8 thorium will be used at the same ratio as its produced)

The cloaking Module wont work foe me, tried pressing ` with no effect, then re-bound it to F and tried again with no effect ( using 3rd person to check)

tested with ultimate nano and ultimate quantum suits with cloak upgrade applied,

the point of steam reactors is to ADD complexity and make it MORE difficult, but to answer your question the steam production is 1eu/t = 3.2mB/t, whatever you set the generation multiplier at the steam production will follow I REALLY suggest using a direct connection via placement on a valve block of a railcraft steam tank or multiple connections of liquiducts (1 duct per 320mb of steam/tick produced) or you wont be able to transport the steam causing a bottleneck

you even get a direct output buff if you use industrial steam engines + MJ>EU transformer (at the default 2.5) instead of a turbine that effectively converts at 1.5625

( a 100eu/t reactor produces enough steam to run 1 turbine at 100eu/t, but in steam engines this amount of steam produces 64MJ, which then converts at the transformer ratio to 160eu/t, a 60% increase) that is unless you balance the transformers mod to railcrafts standards at 1.5625 ( a ratio of 16:25) or make it easier for a little loss at 2:3 (1.5)

Shedar could you add to the panels a line for steam production from reactors? currently they produce {3.2mB/t} per {1EU/t}

This is the best i could come up with for the "4x6" thorium reactor,

very cheap on copper and gold compared to the others with this cell-setup and no running costs, if you fill the 4 blank slots you can automate it too

Guess what ? I'm pretty sure it comes from french, isn't it ?

Wait ... Eggman ? Wasn't it from Sonic video games ? xD

dont you mean sanic the sandraker? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjQ69qkbmU4)

if you are using reactors with steam you should almost always place it on an iron tank, this way no matter HOW much steam you make you always have enough block faces to get the steam from. i run a 9x9x8 iron tank with 6 microcycle reactors on it, feeding a bank of 64 industrial steam engines, the tank has 16 liquiduct extractors on it, merging to a 1 block pipe that then splits out again to the engine bank this works out to supply ALL the engines with 8 mj/tick worth of steam. thats 512 MJ, or 1280 EU, you get less if you use turbines ( and theyre more expensive)

The supercondensator outputs 8192 EU/t, 4 times more than a HV cable can handle.

no shit sherlock. thats the damn point. to create an energy net event / tile entity since the superconductors wont on the first placement next to the condenser. so place a hv and after the hv cable dies and a SC is placed it works a jimbo.

edit: this has to be done only once, it works fine on reloads, i diddnt have this problem before i updated forge, so im guessing its that. and this only happens with superconductors/condensators not normal transformers or wires

I seem to have a problem with supercondensators, they are not outputting their energy to superconductorcables, if redstoned, they just store up the energy(checked with debugitem), BUT if i place a HV cable on the output side only 1 block in the place of a superconductor (it goes poof ofc) and THEN connect a superconductorcable it works fine. very strage but im guessing thats a quirk of the E-NET.
