    New Big Reactors simulator

    I quickly tried this using my iconic 15x15x7 actively cooled reactor. Its supposed to create 40B/t, your sim only shows 37B/t, its way of even for medium reactors :\ I have no experience looking trough the BR code so I cant realy help actually debug it. However I can compare some reactors from...

    Mod Feedback Thermal Series Design/Feedback

    My nr 1 beef with the thermal series (exluding RA) is the very basic implementation of features already present in alot of other mods. IE: tools/armor/satchels/caches. These features offer no gameplay benefit or unique take on them (altough the side tabs are nice, especially locking). Just feels...

    Strange, Yet Effective Big Reactors

    That is indeed me. There is, however, a difference here. Temperature effects the speed of radiation emited. I have found no effidence that it effects the amount of radiation emited.

    Strange, Yet Effective Big Reactors

    All you have shown here is how controll rods work. Controll rod insertion reduces the amount of radiation produced as well as power generated. You didnt proof that temperature has an effect on radiation at all. Only that fuel rods need slow radiation for the most benefit. Keyword most. As...

    Strange, Yet Effective Big Reactors

    Actually it isnt first place ^^ Manyullyn (Tinkers Construct) is nr one with a value of 4.5. Cryotheum takes shared third place with 3.0. Tartarite is second with a value of 4.0 (metalurgy metal I think). You can check the source code. Isnt that what alot of "cooling" systems do? Transfer heat...

    Strange, Yet Effective Big Reactors

    Dont use graphite to indicate annything. Graphite is a valid and in certain builds better coolant then cryotheum. Infact, this exact design in passively cooled mode actually performs better with graphite untill it is 4 blocks tall. Use empty to indicate that it can be annything. Also, replacing...

    Strange, Yet Effective Big Reactors

    :) :-)* Thats... interesting. Something like this? Or more like this? Not particularly efficient, but it sure is small! *Still better then direwolfs.

    What would YOU change about BuildCraft?

    Just make the filler unable to harvest ores, adding in a configurable blacklist/whitelist.

    What would YOU change about BuildCraft?

    I have 3 problems with Buildcraft. Limited troughput of pipes. They are great starter pipes and great "limiter" pipes. It has its niche role and it does it well. That said, some bigger trougput pipes would be very welcome. Cost. It starts out cheap with wood/stone. Fits realy good with the...

    TiC Crossbow number crunching

    I came to the same conclusion and IMO, its a good thing. Makes us look at the other modifiers.

    Good Big Reactors setup

    Far from it (its actually pretty bad). Direwolf20 watcher? You should take annything he says with a grain of salt, especially when he talks about "best".

    The TiC Workbench / toolbench combo

    You can repair your tools inside it. IE tool + ingot = repaired tool.

    big reactor question

    If you place coolants with a Buildcraft Builder then the source blocks wont flow, that way you dont need to place annything to hold it in place. Otherwise, normal glass is valid just like graphite blocks or annything on this list.

    Draconic Armor is broken OP

    *Looks at draconic evolution config file* Nope no extensive configs... Dartcraft might have been strong in 1.5 with its first release, but in 1.6 nothing realy was as everything had extensive configs. And its not like anny other powered armor was, atleast at some point, completly broken. (most...

    An iBench, crafting is just such an important aspect of minecraft. A good crafting "table" ala Dartcrafts clipboard is just a must have!

    Big Reactors Data for 1.7.10 (WIP)

    Thats not the complete picture or a correct statement without defining a reason why. More fuel rods has it advantages to the point that its almost always better to have more fuel rods then you need and use rod controll to reach the output level you want. It also reduces the effect of waste...
