Ha, those Georgia Tech people. BSME 2011, MSME 2013 here. It's funny how much more often they show up in ReactorCraft threads. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Found what I *think* is a missing mod from the Monster 1.1.2 server download. I downloaded the server and applied it to our dedicated box a couple of days ago. Morpheus, the server-side only mod that allows night to pass if only 50% of the online players are sleeping, is listed as included on...

Positive void coefficient basically means that as reactor temperature increases, reactivity increases, so fission events increase, thus also increasing temperature. Without careful cooling and external neutron moderation (control rods), it is easy to overwhelm your cooling momentarily and end up...

Yes, I'll have the six count of chicken McReikas, please. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Your reactors have a positive void coefficient? That is dastardly, and in a nutshell is what caused the Chernobyl meltdown. Also, I *think* 'fusible' is the word you are looking for. 'Fissile' is the fission counterpart, as well. Looking forward to updating my Monster server to 1.1.2 to get...

Next time he gets slightly off-color paint at the hardware store, he should call the employee a colorblind baboon, jump the counter, mix it himself, then steal that paint and advocate that others steal things because the service is bad, all while alerting the local media. I don't understand...

Thank you! So, the other items you added don't cause any ID conflicts with a default FTB configuration? That's good to know. Maybe I will poke around to find out why it was crashing. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I know you keep up with Reika's releases, so perhaps you can help. What, if any, special procedures do I need to follow when upgrading from 19b in Monster pack? I upgraded everything to 23d and got crashes to desktop during startup. Since I am running a server for others, if it involves a lot...

Dynamos self-throttle if there is no demand for their power. So, if the internal buffer of 80k RF is full, the dynamos only produce 4 rf/t. Hook them up to something that can draw that much power and the internal buffer will be consumed, at which point the power produced will increase up to 80...

I use an AE Precision Export Bus attached to the side and configured to insert stacks at a time. Works great. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

RC fans harvest without uprooting, so you don't need any additional planting equipment. For me, a 3 wide by 15-20 long plot using one fan powered by a steam engine is plenty of canola. However, you can add a RotaryCraft pump and sprinkler arrangement to get obscene amounts of canola, so I hear...

Technically, RotaryCraft does involve kinetic energy because the shafts are in motion. It's more accurate to say rotational energy because the entire mod centers on torque and angular velocity. I think it's most accurate, however, to say that RotaryCraft uses shaft power, which emphasizes its...

The nearest real-life analogue to RF would be piezoelectric energy, or creation of a charge from compressing a material. Redstone lights up when the player steps on or touches it, so the application of pressure provokes an energetic response, which I believe is what inspired KL when creating the...

Oh. No shafts in between? Alright, still excited to see how well it works! Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I would test every stage with boilers and monitor their temperature for a while. If I could verify that the boilers never got above 200C, that would give me enough safety margin to use ammonia. What's the best way to handle multiple steps? Heat exchanger intaking hot CO2 touching what? Heat...

It does, but not much. I usually make a 3 wide x 12-20 long canola farm with a steam engine powered fan and hoppers at the end. The hoppers send to itemducts feeding a grinder powered by 4x steam engines junctioned together or one steam engine geared up. Free and maintenance-free continuous...

Looks like it accepts shaft power from one end (doesn't have to be directly connected to a turbine, so you can use bedrock shafts in between). I would assume that when you place the last block, it shows a yellow cube in the block where it expects an input, like other RC devices that have...

Reika is trying to explain that the HSLA shaft unit is what goes in the gui (or a gear unit). The shaft unit is what you get from 3 HSLA ingots diagonally. Don't put the shaft block in, which you craft with a shaft unit and a mount. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

They're called turbine generators, I believe, and they are released but the version they are in has not been added to Monster yet. Hopefully they get in the next modpack update. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I would use a split heat exchanger setup where I had a single 'hot' exchanger straight from the reactor touching 2-3 'medium' exchangers so the temperature was reduced by dispersing the heat through more volume of coolant. How violent, exactly, is an ammonia explosion? Sent from my SCH-I535...
