Hmmmm... Need to actually build one of these behemoths. Looks like a good long term project to keep me interested
ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?
- Thread starter Pyure
- Start date
if you have Geostrata, and until it gets broken, stick a tile accelerator next to the centrifuge and uranium processor. incredibly slow x256 = incredibly FAST.
do not let it touch a pipe, that seemed to delete the contents when I did it.
According to the Rotarycraft Handbook it should only consume half the fuel to produce the same amount of power overall. It halves again when set to 6.25% output (producing 4 times the Energy with the same amount of fuel)
I tested it and the numbers match
The centrifuge speeds are actually quite high once you achieve input speeds over 4Mrad/s, which you should have the capability to do once you are far enough into RC to go for ReactorCraft.
Hmm probably because my uranium supply has been rather, limited until recently. Finally got my laser drill going but I want to swap over to a more realistic power gen. Its a shame the drill does not gen magnetite but does gen the rest of the ReactorCraft Ores.
Will get my pebble beds going again and see how well they do for powering the centrifuges.
P.S. Thanks for the amazing mods you awesome dragon ^.^ Maybe start working on cold fusion reactor capabilities, ya know if regular fusion is too easy for ya!

Why would it specifically exclude magnetite?
Rawr.
There is a reason "Cold Fusion" is synonymous with "Fraud".
I'm seeing this as well. No idea why it's specifically excluding; it seems to generate all of your other ore types A-OK so far as I can tell. I don't see any kind of ore exclusion list in the MFR common.cfg, either, so not sure what the cause is.
MFR is open-source, but my home internet is not back until wednesday (and even then, no guarantees). Does it check some other condition (if the ore drops itself, if it gens below a certain y-level, etc)?
From my dig through the code all the ores are manual coded in just magnetite has been missed off! Yet redundant ores (nikolite) are still in from what I can see.
Also I know cold fusion is virtually impossible, I also know the physics as to why, but hey, it is minecraft Would add a mega project beyond the fusion reactor.

Magnetite is the newest of the ores; perhaps he added the compatibility before I added magnetite.
For an ammonia plant?
Isn't it basically the same as a fission plant but cycling ammonia instead?
If your server isn't on at least V23, I kinda recommend you wait until your server upgrades before tinkering with ammonia. V23 introduced a correction to prevent steam loss in a closed cycle.
The 2nd version of my 12-core reactor (previously in this thread) was not very hot and could be cooled further by removing reflectors or keeping control rods inserted.
My 16-core reactor (previously in this thread) was a bit warmer but might also work. You should try one of those. And post pics please
Also consider setting it up in a colder environment.
Aye, We are currently pre v23 so no reflectors or HP turbines. My base is set up in a plains biome, but there is a cold biome a few min away that would work. I will Build a test world version of the 16 core running ammonia (-closed loop for now) and report back.
Awesome, good luck
(16-core is hotter, be careful!)Hope they upgrade soon so you can do the closed loop version asap.
Does anybody have a good idea how much power a pressurizer needs for a closed-loop system (water or ammonia)? I tried with 50% of a microturbine and almost made my boilers blow, so either I'm doing it wrong or....well, I'm probably doing it wrong.
I currently only have 3 boilers averaging 100C on a "give them tons of water and dump the water post-condenser" system, I built my workshop in a snow biome for safety. Running Monster 1.1.2 so I am somewhat up to date.

* If you're "dumping" your water, don't bother pressurizing it at all. Just void it.
* If you're not pressurizing your water fast enough, your boilers will still only blow if they stop receiving water.
* Monitor your boilers to see their water levels; they should ALWAYS be full. If they aren't, use a faster water transportation method.
* microturbine at 50% should be overkill for pressuring your water I believe.
* how many cores do you have on those 3 boilers? boilers are a cooling mechanism in addition to producing your steam: if you have a lot of cores and insufficient cooling, the boilers will overheat and explode.
Edit: Said "condense" when I wanted to say "pressurize".
Edit2: I assume you're managing to capture and condense all steam blocks, and your condensers aren't getting backed up/clogged with too much low pressure water?
