^That'd also help quite a bit~

Try hooking a wire up to the mfe FROM the mfe itself, and see if it's sending power into the cable, then check the wiring conencting the LV to the machines.

Is the transformer facing the right way, and with no redstone signal being applied to it?

..Does the server happen to have compact solars?

If so, a 32x32 of HVs would cover your UU needs~

If not, try the windmill design on gregorius's lagfree base post.

mm, Rick, may I ask if my design is sufficient enough to be listed on the designs page?

Perhaps, with duals and quads running out 4 times as fast nowadays, that you could make a special category for designs that can run a full 10,000 second cycle, such as single-celled ones? Simply speculating.

Quote from Rick

So far yes but we havent seen much designs yet.

I've given my best design so far somewhere on page 2~

Right now I'm working on a 12 single-cell MK1 design, trying to bring it down from a MK5 right now.

EDIT: Bingo! a 12 cell, Single-Celled, MK1, 230EU/t design

Just cut down even further on the costs of it.

Just simplified your design, and and cut down a good bit on the resources for it, RockRaider.

EDIT: Just took your lunacy design and gave it the ability to cool itself off, and not explode in 1 button push

Just made a starters design, pretty cheap resource-wise, MK1 single-celled, and a pretty good EU output

(Really abusing this reactor planner now that it's out, thank you Talonius for updating it!)

you only need 5 surrounded overclocked heat vents to cool those uranium cells =)
EDIT: take back my words. was thinking wrongly. need 9 =)
Also I would recommend if you are trying to keep it cheaper, to make every Component Heat Exchanger that is only touching 1 side of an Overclocked Heat Vent into a Basic Heat Exchanger / Basic Heat Vent combo, since that is way cheaper.

Thanks to your help, I just made the design a good bit cheaper, and woot for my first design on the new reactor planner!

EDIT: Just made the design a tad bit cheaper. http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/v3/reactorplan…yeoe1kkar9wqku8
I think this is my favorite design yet, I may just use this to power my base~

On a side note, anyone care to try making it even cheaper, without changing it from MK1 and single-cell design?

EDIT#2: Well, the 2nd design is a bit cheaper in iron.....
I'm still happy with it.

mm, I made myself a nice Single Celled, MK1, 6 chamber design

Outputs 330EU/t(165EU/t standard), can run indefinitely, and only uses single cells, which means no mass compressing of copper and actual 10,000 second cycles

Currently working on a more compressed/less resource-intensive design.

EDIT: Just replaced the design, as I realized a vent that seemed like it wasn't being used actually WAS, which made it start heating up when I removed it...

Bit late in seeing this post, but thanks for the awesome tutorial, Direwolf

mm, I'd like to Post a bug report.

It occurs occasionally when opening the interface of the Adjustable power source thingie.

All relevant info included in the spoiler.
If i was a derp and missed anything, do say do ^^.

Also, I put a space between an 8 and ) to avoid the creation of a smiley in my spoiler.

Is the LV Transformer placed correctly, and not receiving a redstone signal?

Quote from GregoriusT

Until the Onlineplanner is updated, i would suggest the use of my EU-Consuming Ingame-Nuclearreactor-Planner. [/GregTech-Advertisement]

Actually, I do plan to get your mod to help me with designing reactors

By the way, could you link a description for your fancy EU storage system?

It looks great as a way to store massive amounts of EU on my soon to be world-ruling, self sufficient, fully armed frame machine

I'd wait for the reactor planner to be updated to ask for something as complicated as that.

Hmm.

Try changing the house to stone, unless you like the look of wood a ton.
Planks can burn, and if a fire was to somehow start(Overheating nuclear Reactor perhaps) Your whole house would go up in smoke.

Also, you could make a small frame quarry to fit inside that dirt room, then when you need resources just go over to that room,get in the quarry machine, and go find a spot to mine.

How does one acquire such a powerful device?
(What mod does this come in, if any)

Indeed, inucune.

I had what I thought was a relatively inexpensive, 100EU/T Reactor design, and as the components needed to cool down, I turned it off.

I thought 'Wow, this design is good, no smoke so far and only a small cooldown time!'

5 seconds later, it went boom.

Quote from Adam Novagen

Alright, did some proper testing. I opened a creative map, and I lined up a macerator, extractor, compressor, electric furnace, and a recycler. I gave each one a stack of random material to process, and fueled them with one-shot batteries. None of them produced any sound, EXCEPT for when the material they were processing was removed mid-operation, inducing the "wrooonk" sound of the aborted job.

Then, I tested the generator types, by hooking up a regular generator, a geo, and a reactor to the working macerator (via glass cable, naturally). I fueled each of them in turn, and not one produced any sound at all. I then blew up the reactor for shiggles, and... No explosion sound. The crater simply materialized before my eyes.

The "wrooonk" proves that the mod is indeed producing sound. I performed these tests with all the other mods removed from my \mods folder, to make sure it wasn't some cross-mod calamity. I also checked the IC2.cfg file just to make sure that sounds were in fact enabled, and found that yes, they are. I suspect this may be an issue with Forge; some months ago, we had a similar audio problem wherein explosions were producing no sound, and the issue resolved itself with a later Forge update. I'm currently using Forge 4.1.1, if anyone's wondering. Any other thoughts or suggestions on this?

I'm also having the issue, sadly.

Currently I'm hoping that a later version of either forge or IC2 fixes it, but until then I'm playing around with the new reactors and waiting for my favorite addons and Redpower 2 to update~

I could use the recipe code for [REDACTED] to allow CF sprayer refilling with any amount of pellets.

EDIT: And done.

Curse you and your Redacting everything~
