    Morph?

    Without the free flight from bats, Morph is just full-body hats. No harm in keeping it if the abilities are disabled. Worst that happens is that your friends troll you by being creepers in your base. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Would you build this?

    The controller only shows linked devices if there is both a possible destination for the power AND an HSLA shaft or gear unit in the corresponding slot in the bus GUI. If there is no dynamo or other valid power 'receiver' or shaft/gear piece, that side is deemed invalid and isn't counted. As...

    ReactorCraft steam boilers not accepting water, Monster 1.1.0

    CVTs have unlimited power capacity and no speed/torque limits, so I recommend that you use those or just run bedrock shafts right to a shaft power bus controller and split from there. I have not seen any issue with merging steam lines ahead of the grate, so I do not think that is an issue. Your...

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    That control rod wouldn't stop the reactor if inserted. In fact, it would only affect the 4 cores it is touching. They would still receive neutrons from the additional cores and reflectors. The best usage of control rods is in between all cores to stop neutron interaction as much as possible...

    Anyway to increase Steam Boiler output?

    Use fluiducts set to extract mode to feed the steam to TE3 steam dynamos. Use conduits and energy cells for storage, then use conduits to power any MJ machines you might have. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Distribute rotarycraft power evenly?

    Bummer. Does that mean that core proximity to each other has no effect in an HTGR? Or do the blocks interact on a check/execute level rather than using free neutrons to provoke additional fissions? I guess I'll move to the backup project of emulating a real-life reactor core fuel rod...

    I believe the chance is around 2%, so it's relatively rare. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    I'm going to need a project.

    I like automatic ore processing with rotarycraft. Complex and gets you really good yields. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Distribute rotarycraft power evenly?

    I plan to expand my pebble bed reactor to see where the temperature stabilizes. I was thinking of adding a layer of neutron reflectors where the concrete is now to see if that might increase heat a bit without causing meltdown. I also want to test out some conventional reactors to see if I can...

    Redstone Flux Jetpacks? (In spirit of conversion to total Thermal Expansion)

    Since I started using TE, I've said that the only thing it's missing is an IC2 comparable jetpack. I always hated having to build IC2 infrastructure just to charge an electric jetpack (I don't enjoy MPS). I would love to see the jetpack addon get absorbed into the official mod (or at least...

    Magician vs. Technician (PvP arena game)

    Bedrock swords break special armors really fast. I broke a friend's modular power suit in 2 hits with a bedrock sword. The way the sword is coded, it does damage directly to the underlying piece of armor, so it bypasses most methods of shielding to wreck the armor and then the player. Sent from...

    Distribute rotarycraft power evenly?

    In Nevada, Yucca Mountain deep geological waste repository was fully built by the US government with taxpayer dollars. It was fully vetted by scientists from many fields as being safe for long term storage of nuclear waste, and it was shut down by dirty politics before accepting even one spent...

    ReactorCraft steam boilers not accepting water, Monster 1.1.0

    But by our powers combined, we become Captain Planet! I mean, a good Rotary/ReactorCraft troubleshooting team.... right. That. Definitely not the first thing. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Distribute rotarycraft power evenly?

    I have a lot of opinions about nuclear energy, but the most prominent is that environmentalists are shooting themselves in the foot by opposing nuclear energy and complaining about anthropogenic global warming. Nuclear reactors are near-zero carbon emissions, very long-lived, very safe, and they...

    ReactorCraft steam boilers not accepting water, Monster 1.1.0

    Also, it looks like you only have 4 turbine segments. Add a fifth if you only have 4, and relocate your steam grate so that it is 4 blocks under the centerline of the turbine and located directly underneath the smallest turbine segment. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    ReactorCraft steam boilers not accepting water, Monster 1.1.0

    All good points by Pyure. Monster 1.1.0 is RC 19b. 1.1.1 is RC 20c (I think). Two issues that have caused fluctuations and low power output have been poor steam capture by the turbine and insufficient water to the boilers. I recommend updating to Monster 1.1.1 if possible. Some WAILA...

    Distribute rotarycraft power evenly?

    Pebble bed reactors are designed such that they should never melt down or generate an explosion. In fact, the hotter they get, the more the reactivity is reduced. There is a risk of melting the metal reactor structure, but the graphite pellets are designed such that they should never cause...

    Distribute rotarycraft power evenly?

    Hi, Reika! I have some questions for you about HTGRs and their usage. I will post some pictures and try to provide a general commentary on my thought process. I hope you can help me! Here is my entire HTGR setup. The reactor is on the left. I am able to power two turbines at ~940 MW each using...

    Distribute rotarycraft power evenly?

    Ammonia auto ignites and explodes at 400-450 C. I can't recall the exact number. I'm wary of using it because I have weird temperature fluctuations in my heat exchangers and boilers on my pebble bed reactor. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
