    Big Reactors: A spreadsheet, mechanics summary and reactor example.

    My reactor is 41 percent more efficient than Dire's.

    Big Reactors: A spreadsheet, mechanics summary and reactor example.

    Dire's reactor uses 1.66 mb/t and produces 8700 mb/t of steam, so mine is much better for sure.

    Big Reactors: A spreadsheet, mechanics summary and reactor example.

    I think that some method of making an infinite loop is necessary, just make it quite difficult (more difficult than it is now).

    Big Reactors: A spreadsheet, mechanics summary and reactor example.

    I'm running the Direwolf20 pack and I heavily modified Direwolf20's Reactor setup he built in season 7 let's play, made it BETTER!!!! A SUPER TESTED GOOD STEAM PRODUCING REACTOR/TURBINE DESIGN (FOR THE DIREWOLF20 PACK) is 7x7 on the base and 9 blocks high, on the outside (7x7x9). Place 5 fuel...

    Good Big Reactors setup

    And keep in mind, that's the DW20 pack, which multiplies the fuel consumption tenfold. With the default settings you can fill the 2.14 trillion RF with about six stacks of yellorium, which you can get with some effort and a large quarry.

    Good Big Reactors setup

    A very good steam-producing reactor (for the DW20 pack) would be 7x7 base and 9 blocks tall, on the outside. Inside, you should put 5 fuel rods in a + plus formation, and fill the rest of the reactor with Gelid Cryotheum. The best way to run this is at full power. At full power it will produce...

    What would YOU change about BuildCraft?

    What is PM-ing? I know NO way to access RWTEMA, Zeldo, or KingLemming. You can use the Thermal Dynamics Itemducts with Logistics pipes in stead of BC pipes. That's what I use. Trust me, it really works. Warp itemducts make LP so fast.

    What would YOU change about BuildCraft?

    Also, an addition idea for the Thermal Dynamics (itemducts, fluiducts, etc.) mod, tell KingLemming, Zeldo, or RWtema please (no one folows the Thermal Dynamics Discussion thread anymore), I want to be able to, anywhere on the pipe network, place a block that can emit a redstone signal if there...

    What would YOU change about BuildCraft?

    What would be IDEAL is if you can use gates to read certain amounts of items in it, so instead of only being able to read "is there cobble or not", you also have the option to read "is there 3 cobble in the chest", meaning that it will not activate if there are less than 3.

    Big Reactors Turbine build in 1.7.10 ... any design?

    I found a GREAT design for you. It's not a flat reactor because Being an existentialist minecrafter, I dont like flat reactors because they don't feel "reactor-y", for a giant nuclear reactor thingy should be tall too. You wouldn' expect a giant, formidable machine that makes 100,000 RF/t to not...

    Direwolf20 season 7 - Huzzah!

    Does ANYONE agree with me that Dire should fill his reactor with Gelid cryotheum? Fuel consumption difference (1 turbine): 0.45 mb/t (no cryotheum) > 0.38 mb/t (with cryotheum). Steam output difference (maximum power): 8700 mb/t (no cryotheum) > 10840 mb/t (with cryotheum). Note that they use...

    Crazy big reactor turbine

    What adjustments are you talking about? There's no math. Just make it 2000 mb/t. There's also quite no point to use ludicrite, because enderium's ALMOST as good.

    Crazy big reactor turbine

    you need 37 enderium blocks to max it out.

    Crazy big reactor turbine

    Do a 7x7x9 reactor, much better.

    Direwolf20 season 7 - Huzzah!

    Yes you can, I guess, size a turbine to fit approximately the full capacity of one max size High pressure steam boiler, and it's a good idea because according to my calculations, just using ordinary engines/dynamos will get you only 1,440 RF/t (I guess you can get it to 2000 RF/t by upgrading...

    Direwolf20 season 7 - Huzzah!

    You could also power a turbine with 3 steam boilers (Rail Craft).

    Direwolf20 season 7 - Huzzah!

    Dire shouldn't have changed his reactor shape, just add some gelid cryotheum, and that will make it a LOT more efficient...His reactor generates More than 2000 mb/steam per tick because he is planning to have more than one turbine. I know that some people like to build wide, flat, 9x3x9 tall...
