I've been having some fun abusing the fact that the three blocks directly behind a gas turbine are heated from the hot exhaust to see how much extra power I can squeeze from these things. I'm using an engine control unit beneath the gas turbine to throttle its speed and so use less jet fuel per...

Being directly adjacent to heat exchangers also seems to have no affect on thorium fuel core temperatures. EDIT: Making a loop of boilers connecting a heat exchanger and a thorium core did warm it up to 490C. It is now giving off neutrons when bombarded with neutrons from uranium in fuel cores...

I've tried accomplishing that in a variety of manners and have not yet found an efficient reactor design. Heaters and friction heaters from RoC don't affect thorium fuel core temperature. Ditto any neutrons from any source. I have 4 fuel cores in a line bombarding a thorium fuel core with...

Certainly thorium reactors are self-sufficient in real life once given a jump start by other fissile materials. Some comments Reika has made to me about these makes me think that I may not be using them correctly yet because he says they make more power than an HTGR and so far I don't find that...

Jam it next to a normal fission fuel core that you are doing a bad job of cooling off. In fact, the thorium fuel core *is* your means of cooling that other fuel core.

Here is my easily automated design: 0C0A0C0A0C0A0C0A0C0914141406141414090C090C1406140C090C090C09140A14090C09141414141414141414090C090C090C090C09 640EU/t@16x (2 quad) EDIT: I took a second and third look at @MigukNamja 's four double design that puts out the same power at the same efficiency as...

So far as I can tell you've got to get a thorium fuel core up to 638C. Once there it will convert some lifbe fuel to hot lithium beryllium fluoride and emit neutrons. It is basically a sodium heater that also puts out neutrons.

I'm not aware of any designs that put out that much power. This is the MOX design I always run and it is the most efficient design that I know of. 0C0A0C0A0C0A0C0A0C0A141414061414140A0C0A0C0A050A0C0A0C0A0C0A1406140A0C0A141414140C141414140A0C0A0C0A0C0A0C0A 800EU/t@16x (2 quad and 1 dual) Make...

Will an AA wielding a kikoku work or any other fake player mechanism or must it be a real player? Based on a QED being 100% non-automatable I'm betting it has to be a real player.

Those are vibrant capacitor banks from EnderIO

Finally, this setup will charge a block in around 1 second:

This power setup can transfer out 2,000,000 RF/t: And if you look at the internal buffer of the energy infuser as it is working, you'll see it is steady at 2,000,000 RF: meaning it is receiving this much energy from the tesseract each tick and adding that much to the charging draconium block...

Nope, the Thermal Expansion 4 augments will not do anything in the setup that I described. But use cryostabilized fluxducts to connect 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 faces of a tesseract to that many faces of a energy infuser and load each with a draconium block. You'll find that once the energy infuser's...

rhn is very possibly one of the most prolific builders in all of modded minecraft. It sounded like you were calling him out for not being down with overbuilding when in fact that is essentially his brand.

The general rule is whatever pack Direwolf 20 is currently playing since his Let's Plays tend to be geared towards newer players and thus very helpful to learning how to do useful things quick enough to keep you hooked until you can learn the trickier mechanics. You could just as easily replace...

Just wanted to point out the extreme hilarity in someone telling rhn to play big or go home...

There is now that IC2 has become IC2 experimental in all the packs we play: https://github.com/MauveCloud/Ic2ExpReactorPlanner/releases

Based on late game tinkering around with an energy infuser (none of this info is on any wiki that I know of), I've noticed that it has a limit on how quickly it can accept RF but this limit if per face. Make sure your energy storage can output infinite RF/t; something like a tier 7 energy core...

This is not my design, I can't take credit for it but I came across this the other day...

Btw, I did some measurements of what it takes to keep a 5-stage LP turbine going. I was able to keep a constant 30m^3 of steam in my steam line feeding an open grate by feeding 200mB of hot LiFBe into a heat exchanger every 4.15 seconds using a project red timer to pulse an industrial coil...
