    ReactorCraft - Early reactors

    You will be not able to reach 300+ degree temperature needed for sodium heaters, I guess. Plus the efficiency of conversion uranium -> plutonium will be low. But you can try to switch to conventional steam boilers, so you can skip sodium complexity and enjoy simple operation of breeder reactor...

    ReactorCraft - Early reactors

    6) Is breeder reactor fuel created from the "bad" (depleted) uranium dust created when isotope-centrifuging by any chance? Yes. Breeder reactor fuel created from depleted uranium dust after centrifuging. 4 enriched + 16 depleted. 10) Does plutonium go into a standard fission reactor core? At...

    ReactorCraft - Early reactors

    1. Build electrolizer. 2. Generate a lot of salt (bucket of water) gives you salt. 3. Feed electrolizer from each side with Van de Graaff (1MW), required shaft power (262kW), frictional heater (262kW), salt from the last remaining side. Molten sodium goes from bottom, you can void chlorine...

    ReactorCraft - Early reactors

    Think in advance about extracting wastу in automated mode since breeder produces a lot of it. Try to build reactor in Taiga biome due to lower temperature you have less issues with cooling.

    ReactorCraft - Early reactors

    You need neither uranium processors nor centrifuges. All what you need salt that is free:) and uranium. The rest is HS steel + bunch of other staff what you suppose to have if you consider power production GW.

    ReactorCraft - Early reactors

    I found that the safest and the most efficient reactor is pebble-bed reactor with Molten sodium heaters. It takes some preparation to generate enough molten sodium, but then you can keep Hot molten sodium in tank and use Heat exchangers when you really need power. One heat exchanger generates 3...

    Err, how do you power a Bedrock Breaker?

    In Deep dark you can find void openings, so it might be possible to mine there? At least I did not try.

    Err, how do you power a Bedrock Breaker?

    One can point bedrock breaker downward and then get what you want in overworld. http://i.imgur.com/5fOTGbP.jpg This is machine to collect bedrock. Once per hour you need to come and collect almost 5 stacks of bedrock dust. It could be fully automated, but I decided it is good as is...

    Best source of power for FTB Monster?

    Lava is for beginning, big reactors are for the middle/end, and when you can you can switch to or add Rotary Craft Gas Turbine when you need 10+kRF or Reactor Craft when you need GWatts. Rotary craft requires infrastructure that is not easier if you start with Rotary Craft alone, I think. At...

    How do you light up your base?

    There are bunch of light infused materials, personally I like birch wood. ArsMagica2 Sigil of light can be hidden one block below and it can cover huge area. Rotary craft light sources if you can tolerate horrible sound of DC engines.

    RotaryCraft v20+ in Horizons 2.1.1

    I understood after watching Reika's youtube magnetostatics are upgradable now. Originally they are 32kW and after last upgrade they can deliver 67MW.

    reactor craft and rotary craft (mild rant)

    This is your right. In the same time you pointed that Reactor craft did not get right focus according to you. I spent 5 min to find table what I need to do to maximize output of BigReactor and another 20 to build it. I played in my own survival world to check all things. With reactor craft it is...

    reactor craft and rotary craft (mild rant)

    Reika, I was the victim of optimizing software for 486 to be operational with hardware which costs hundreds of PCs I could buy. The point is that you can always enforce user to use multiblock and then run your own compilation of internal staff in simple form. Delete steam block 3 blocks above...

    reactor craft and rotary craft (mild rant)

    YX33A Your post looks suspiciously Gregish, are you trying to create sect of Rotary/Reactor craft? I really admire Reika's creativity and dedication. I realize that mod is "child" of creator and in general he is not oblige to support and answer questions for what is created as part of his...

    reactor craft and rotary craft (mild rant)

    Reika, I found exploit in Reactor craft. If you build sodium heater in Nether you can produce Hot sodium without reactor at all! GWatts of "green" power. To facilitate process you can add coolant cells to improve the efficiency by 300%:) Two tesseracts and you can have nice way of producing...

    Would you build this?

    There is very little information about the mod. Spending time watching tutorials when half of all built reactors on youtube are not operational:) Trial and error for statistical process is great suggestion. Could you tell at least which file I have to look into?

    Would you build this?

    Thanks a lot. Could you please give more details what blocks and at what relative heat dissipation/conductance rate? Experimenting is nice but it takes a lot of time, extra details would help to anticipate better design. Could you also give more details about probability of emitting neutron...

    Would you build this?

    Reika, ReactorCraft is fantastic mode, thanks a lot for your effort. I have a couple questions: 1. When you compute heat dissipation do you take into account every side of the block? For instance does block of water act as heat absorber? Or only very specific blocks such as boilers counted for...

    A Rotarycraft Thread (Meanders a little)

    I support this change from 8 to 4 MW otherwise majority of things from RC were not used. Personally I like jet engines and after magnetostatic ones I switch to gas and micro turbines. I dislike the explosion of industrial coils. I had two from very early game energy storage and wanted...

    AE Auto Crafting With Rotary Craft

    How about Factorization router, is it going to handle slots properly? Also I did not try but there is a key in config which should allow to use craft table for Rotarty Craft, is it going to work if activate? Any issues to expect? Last question that is not relates to this subject, but I noticed...
