    Automated yellorium?

    Cyan focus gives more yellowium than yellow, but even without a focus you can be pretty close to yellorium positive with a passive reactor and have no worries with active cooling and turbines. Once you don't need cyanite anymore reprocessing it to blutonium basically doubles your fuel. Atomic...

    Big Reactors Turbines?

    Current Version of Big Reactors adds a recipe for cyanite. It is sand + yellorite. Can jump right into turbines as soon as you have enough iron. To the OP. What does a good passive reactor produce in ~ 9x9x3 size? Maybe 8-10k RF/t? Turbine is potentially 70k RF/t for ~.111 yellorite a...

    Big Reactors problem.

    Screenshots? not everyone runs modpacks. Any extra casing/glass touching the outside of the reactor?

    What's your favorite starting mod?

    I did not know lapis auto leveled in TiCo without any add-ons. Did a quick test and unless the rate picks up it seems to be about 1 free lapis per 40 blocks mined. So if you want to save 450 lapis pieces and level it up for free it is about 18000 blocks to mine. or ~18 ore blocks of lapis in a...

    Which power system has the highest power/lag ratio ?

    I had heard of chunk resets with chicken chunks, so switched to immbis' dimensional anchor. Like you said it could be the chunkloader doing something or it just happens to be logging an event that others don't pay attention to.

    Which power system has the highest power/lag ratio ?

    On the mining focused starting concept. That is how I have played my last two worlds. Mostly same core mods minus: Iguana, Tinker's SteelWorks. You might add ender IO to your list -- it is an awesome item/fluid/energy transfer mod and might fit space theme. When adding a mod like Ender IO...

    Which power system has the highest power/lag ratio ?

    Love big reactors and they are self sufficient with laser drills. I never tested if it needed a focus or not, but made a bunch of yellow foci my first run through. Cyan focus supposedly gives even more yellorite, but i have not tested it in my latest world. Yellow focus is set by MFR, but Big...

    How to Automate Big Reactors.

    Yes. But why build one when you could build two at twice the cost?

    How to Automate Big Reactors.

    Random chance like any ore. Weighted with other rare ores. Yellow focus x6 makes it come up pretty often. 5000 Rf/t to each pre-charger for max speed.

    Beginner's Big Reactors Guide

    Beginner's Big Reactors Guide... Fuel Rods generate particles horizontally in the cardinal directions. The particle release and hitting another fuel rod generates energy and heat. This fuel rod to fuel rod interaction is shown as reactivity in the reactor controller. Higher is better, but...

    Big Reactor - Reactor control help

    I am no PRC expert, but here is my attempt: http://imgur.com/a/cmPIS Basically take the magenta input and set var 0 to true if it is greater than 90 and var 1 to true if it is less than 10. SR latch controlled by the 2 variables. Over 90 resets the latch to off. Below 10 sets the latch to...

    Big Reactor Question ... Better Cooling?

    No bonus for having the coolants next to eachother. I was just commenting it is difficult to place these fluids next to eachother becuase one teleports you and the other has a falling source block and damages you on contact. The two types do different things in the reactor. Ender fluids...

    Big Reactor Question ... Better Cooling?

    The efficient layouts i have seen use cyrotheum in spaces between fuel rods and enderium for outer ring. These are also easier to build than layouts that have the two liquids next to eathother. The author called them 'dotted layouts': 21x21x3 http://imgur.com/COXLH9z 9x9x3...

    Redstone Energy Conduits limits

    I think the original poster is testing/showing that the conduit connection limit is not applying to the tesseract output. So it is tesseract output into single conduit -> cable -> input 10k into each power converter. This is probably working as intended, but not documented/clear on the wiki's...

    Big Reactors: A spreadsheet, mechanics summary and reactor example.

    Like this spreadsheet. Think it updated recently and like the new 21x21x3 reactor you added. I have a quarter of the old 15x15x6 reactor built and I dread finishing it or moving it, but a nice flat reactor is easier to put together, so I'll probably move some things around and drop the...

    MFR - Bioreactor. Values?

    Why would you need any external slot aware inventory manager? Sometime after the bulk of the posts above the reactor was changed to only allow one stack of each type in it's inventory?

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    Did some experimenting in creative on the nuclear reactor. I have not seen any designs, so just trial and error... mostly error. First could not get water into the boilers with rotarycraft pipes, pumps, and machines. Not sure if I was missing something, but worked fine with ender IO or...

    Need help with routing items in ME network

    Here is what I imagined with enderchests. Minimal impact to spawning space. I have not played in a long time, so there might be something better than buildcraft gates to detect and signal when items are in an inventory. Used to be just turtles and buildcraft gates. Overall: Placing an item...

    Need help with routing items in ME network

    Quick test: Pistons = output of specific colored band (in your scenario would go to the ME precision export for that item) Lamp = common output when any is lit (would probably trigger a pulse to remove any item in the spawner)
