Nope, Al has fetish for orbital ion cannons

Will only refine 2 isos per uran (as opposed to 8 per 1 max for a "normal breeder) but requires 0 babysitting. Drop in uran and isos, come back and empty it, chill for some hour, rinse and repeat
Edit: Hasn't tested it ingame, but I trust the sim

I don't know if the op is still looking for a solution, but i'll leave my 2 cents anyway.
Since we all agree watermills are good for nothing, I sugest a simple Mark II reactor like this one:
http://test.vendaria.net/index…XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX +1h/t
http://test.vendaria.net/index…XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX +2h/tNo additional chambers, quite simple, cheap and safe. If all you need is power a few machines, It should be more than enough. 20eu/t for a total of 4M EU per 2 uran/cycle.
It needs to be water cooled and will heat just a tiny bit, because you will need to hook it with a cable- thus removing 1 block of water, but its negligible. Its so little heat that it will dissipate between cycles. ( Thats the 1ts one - 2nd one will need a bit of downtime if used constantly - 6+ full cycles )If you keep in mind that 1 full cycle ( completely use all uran in the reactor ) is about 2h 30m. Theres hardly any babysitting involved.
http://test.vendaria.net/index…XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</a>Simpler and cheaper, still 1 heat
Edit: Anyone tried making BC fill watermills with water? 2eu/t is quite neat...
Also @ the person wanting almost 1 eu/t: That would be twice as much as solars (works at night) with a much cheaper recipe, that works anywhere (A perk no other no-fuel reactor has). Thus, OP
-
Back offtopic, converting heat (Unwanted side product) to eu (the thing you WANT) is a bit silly IMO.
-
Actually I would agree that nuclear power is a bit meh, the system should be reworked with more risk but also more reward (eu)...
Edit: It still beats wind by far in compactness and and the fact that you can build it IN your base. Don't suppose anyone got a skybase?
-
I dont even have TMI
Even at over 9k heat it takes half a cycle (over an hour) to fully charge an iso cell with a single uran. That is still 8 times faster than at 0 heat
-
Remember that wind power has 2 severe drawbacks:
*Horrible space requirement
*Can only be built high up for good effect, and combined with previous points it ruins the landscapeThough if you're building a skyscrape you can probably build them into your design, for awesome free non-obscurating power
-
Why you need so high heat? isotope cells recharge so fast even at 0 heat just leave them there for a minute. No need to make it complicated.
You know they charge like ... 8? times faster at over 9k hull heat, compared to 0?
-
You know, stating more clearly that it needs frequent cooldowns would be helpful
Also, since you're clocking it anyway you might as well just remove those single uran-iso pair, since they reduce the "efficiency" of the breeder (Number of isos bred per uran used)
-
I'm not into mk.3, sorry
Currently working on a weird 0-start breeder that will first spike up to over 9000 heat and then decline again, for best average temperature. Needless to say, it's quite complicated
-
You know "perfect" means it got +- 0 heat, that is doesn't heat up?
I don't know redstone-ing counts.... -
The transformer has its own storage, so those four 32 eu/t will allow it to pulse 128 eu every tick
-
If you only have one reactor you shouldn't go into breeding just yet
-
Breeding is complicated. Unless you steal somebody elses design you'll HAVE to do some calculations for it to work nicely
Just as an example, I wrapped this up:
http://test.vendaria.net/index…IHCHCICCCCCCHCHCHCCXXXXXXStarting from zero heat it'll warm up, ending the cycle at about 12k heat. 5 chamber reactors starts melting stuff at a touch under 13k heat, so it's safe. Currently running a check if it'll actually enrich the iso cells fully...
Edit: I'm an idiot, forgot components melt at 10k heat

-
Forget the reed/cactus/solar farms to make eu. For cheap efficient power make windgens on top of the world.
Sadly, it ruins the landscape an is a pain to set up
With the recent cheapening of the Solar recipe there's very little reason to use anything else... -
Off topic I agree that matter is *way* too easy to get with scrap...
On topic I don't think slag should fuel mass fab BUT is should in turn be recyclable.
-
As stated it CAN be done with BC, and Al won't add something that is already possible. Some people like things to be a bit more complicated, like those who use EE instead of TMI...
-
Two checks:
*Is the iso cell next to uran? It needs to be
*Is the reactor hot? Breeding is sped up VASTLY by higher reactor heat, an is at max when heat level is over 9000 (CwatchadidthereAl)Edit: Laying out your reactor in http://test.vendaria.net/ and linking your setup here would help in debugging!

Remember that netherrack has crappy explosion resistance. Like dirt, or maybe less? Dunno
