Ammonia makes twice the power, but it is difficult to recycle which justifies the bonus. As to steam usage, I noted it here: https://i.imgur.com/RTh8jUI.png I can confirm the easy reactor at three layers tall can power a regular turbine full time. I'm in the process of upgrading mine to 5...

I try to label diagrams with the version. There are recent ones for v6 that work fine. The HTGR nerf just happened mid-v6, and you need a minimum of 12 cores now around a central heat exchanger.

I'm on v6f and seeing the same thing. I let the reactor run, and the steam pipes never had more than 10 steam in them. It ran out my ammonia, then I moved back to water and nothing happened. I break the pipe leading to the HP turbine, let it queue up a few hundred steam in the pipe, and connect...

There's a bunch of reactorcraft threads that I've posted with diagrams you can find with little searching.

Regarding the steam loss, I can now confirm that the HP turbine appears to consume steam that is insufficient to power it. So I fed it several hundred buckets of ammonia, and lost it all because it never achieved pressure required to start the turbine. I had expected to see the HP turbine not...

I've been watching for that. That's really why I'm confused. The reactor has consumed large quantities of ammonia, yet I don't see much in my steam pipes. A max of 15 steam, and the transducer doesn't say if it's water steam or ammonia steam though I know I replaced all the pipes previously. The...

Then I shall continue to add ammonia until the cycle is self sustaining.

Regarding ammonia, I've added 9 reservoirs of ammonia to my reactor three times now and I'm not seeing anything from my HP turbine. Does it lose steam that is insufficient to power it?

I think the chunk generation lag would totally make that idea useless. I run a stack of boring machines at a reasonable pace and never have a problem. LP to JABBA with void upgrades for every stone type. Works great.

Logistics pipes to the rescue!

Dew point aggregator gives you more water than you'll need. I have one feeding a fluid compression chamber so I have 1 million buckets of water on standby. While working with ammonia I found that I'm outputting more steam than the turbine can use, so it's building up in my steam pipes so I need...

That's kinda why I'm heading toward the HP turbine.

The front of my turbine is open to release the steam blocks. I just put one condenser on each side of the shaft coming out, that's getting most of it. Also it appears that with the HP turbine you put a reservoir near the rear to collect the ammonia.

So I believe this is an issue of steam blocks overwriting each other as they whizz around because at one point I messed up and my condenser filled. The room below it did not fill will steam blocks. When I finally cleared my error, I got back a fraction of my total ammonia. This makes me wonder...

Is there a situation where ammonia steam blocks can overwrite each other? I just converted to ammonia and full recycling yet I keep losing ammonia.

I made a mistake in a calculation, where I had to use megawatts to run a pressurizer. The font in my resource pack sucks, and I was really underpowering it.

I deleted it because it was stupid. I confused a "." for a ",". That font is terrible. I fixed it.

I think we need more power. http://olystad.reamedia.no/wp-content/themes/hermes/css/jqueryui/images/jiggawatts-i11.jpg https://scifun.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/1267552136847.jpg

There's a max speed? ;)

Wow! That could be fun. I'm going to convert this one first though.
