  • Non-water cooled reactor.

    I must say, I'm quite surprised at how well designed the reactors are here.


    I'm most likely going to use raGan's design, as it seems to use mostly coolant cells, so that minimizes the cost, and requires no cooling at all :D


    Thanks, everybody, for helping me get a reactor that I can plop behind the wall of my machines, and it'll work relentlessly filling the need of my MFE, until it runs out
    (which I'll most likely make a piston door to reach it, as that keeps the wall looking nice).


    Anywho, on to uprooting the mile of glass fibre cable I laid down from my reactor room to my house, for the noise the water made annoyed me. (I never feared an explosion, the design is VERY stable, it's off the list of good reactor designs.)

  • Non-water cooled reactor.

    Currently I have a simple setup with the advanced machines addon, which can smelt the ores coming from my quarry.


    I'm using a nuclear reactor to power it all, but recently I've been planning to move to a different location.


    I'd like to have my reactor sitting across the room from the machines, with my MFE sitting next to them and the wires going under the floor, but I wouldn't like having half the (9x9) room taken up by contained water cooling.


    So I've been trying to find a good reactor design that uses 2 chambers(I don't want to make more chambers than I need) and outputs at least 40EU per tick.


    Right now I have this design,--http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…28802jh7g8msnw0c19u7lmo--


    I'd like to know if anybody can think of a design that possibly has a lower cooldown/less materials to cool it.


    I've looked at the reactor designs but they all require water cooling, so I'm out of luck there.


    Any ideas, anybody?
