    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    Oh fluorite, damn. I've been trying all sorts of different combinations of stuff in the fuel enhancer all to no avail. I didn't try putting more fluorite in the fuel enhancer since there is already LiFBe in there already. Thanks! BTW, milk in the thorium fuel core also works just fine...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    Lol! Try putting a thorium fuel core in the nether with 2 fuel cores on each side so you form a 1x5 shape. Insulate everything, stick plutonium in the 4 fuel cores and pipe lava into the top of the thorium fuel core :) Yes I had a look at the code and it seems to accept any old liquid and...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    Thanks Plasmasnake. You have gotten as far as I have. I think if you stuck the thorium fuel core in the center of a breeder reactor, then you ran it as a boiler rather than a true nuclear core since it is sucking heat from your breeder rather than fissioning its own thorium. Reika's schematic...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    You can feed molten lithium and emerald dust into a uranium processor and it will make lithium beryllium fluoride. There is a fluid called lifbe fuel in NEI, damned if I can figure out yet how it is made. Putting that in a thorium fuel core and blasting the hell out of it with neutrons still...

    Ender Quarry Upgrades

    A high end turbine from Big Reactors is a good match for a speed III EQ. You could also use a few IC2 nuclear reactors and convert EU to RF using Immersive Engineering wires. An ammonia LP turbine from ReactorCraft spinning a turbine generator will run 100+ such ender quarries without breaking...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    Now that thorium reactors have been fully implemented as of version 12, has anyone been able to make one do anything? The change logs and reactorcraft in game manual so far are not enough for me to puzzle out how to get one working in creative. I assume that we must place a fuel dump valve...

    What thing have you never done in FtB?

    Material Energy^4 was super super fun to me. I played it through a few times before moving on to other things. The way materials are gated and his use of spatial pylons was inspired. Can't say enough good things about this map.

    What thing have you never done in FtB?

    Nah, more like simple reactors. Reactorcraft is the home of advanced reactors.

    What thing have you never done in FtB?

    I've never (but intend to): 1) Be 100% done with a world before resetting the server 2) Used spells from Blood Magic 3) Automated my entire base/factory with LP; this goal will fall this world (Infinity Evolved Skyblock) 4) Triggered a demon invasion; a server mate has always gotten there first...

    What thing have you never done in FtB?

    This thread has made me realize that I might play too much modded minecraft. Those of you who have never fooled with Reika's mods are missing out massively. Next kitchen sink pack you play, add RoC/ReC/Electricraft and rush bedrock tools/armor before any other tech mods save some basic TE4...

    Let's talk about IC2

    Not quite that easy but Bibliocraft's armor stands do make this task as easy as shift clicking provided you stashed a redstone torch/signal beneath the stand. I always have one near my Thaumcraft area, another by my IC2 nuclear reactor, and several more by my front door/base access.

    Let's talk about IC2

    Yes, RoC and ReC are still highly punitive on level with GT and ReC is probably much more so since you can corrupt an entire world with radiation from failed reactors.

    Infinity Evolved 2.4.2 Terrible FPS when inside, or looking at, my base?

    If power converters has been updated for 1.7.10, I don't know about it. That mod and the pre-nerfed transfer rates of TE ducts made RailCraft boilers super fun and viable as a primary power source. Now I like them a whole lot less.

    Let's talk about IC2

    I for one really enjoyed the IC2 power system and the attendant explosions that came as I learned what I was doing but then I LOVE the big complex tech mods like Mekanism, GregTech, and RotaryCraft/ReactorCraft/ElectriCraft. I would like this mechanic and the power loss over distance...

    Super Low Lag Octuple Compressed Cobblestone Generator

    Actually as of late I have noticed that SFM seems to be slow/resource intense when crafting. Might be a 1.7.10 thing or perhaps VSWE has made a change to the way SFM crafts that is causing it.

    ReactorCraft Challenge

    I've actually never gotten control rods to function. I find them fairly non-intuitive. I am curious if they could lead to more efficient reactor designs though.

    ReactorCraft Challenge

    I'm good with that. That has the additional benefit of not having to build the HP turbine mutliblock too. I'll retest now with way fewer boilers and see if I do in fact get more steam with fewer boilers (and still don't melt down :))

    ReactorCraft Challenge

    This is far and away the fastest and most robust way I've seen of feeding water into the boilers. Each bedrock pipe section has an absolutely massive reserve capacity and because they are pressurized, water is feed into the boilers instantly. This system can build up around 2,000,000 buckets...

    ReactorCraft Challenge

    Breeder Reactor Mark I - 37.559TJ from 256 breeder reactor fuel Here is my current best design for a breeder reactor. I wanted something that could more or less match the steam consumption of a high pressure turbine and this design falls just a little short. I wait until there is 1,000 steam...
