There is no danger with the reactors overheating(just fuel consumption) the steel costs are a little daunting and turbines have a top speed....

As long as the obsidian doesn't run out, it shouldn't be an issue. The input hopper is faster than the fluiduct. I made 10 stacks of brownstone yesterday using this method.
In order to make steel to make a big reactor, you need a high oven? How does it work with smelteries, should I replace one or both of them? What if I don't want alloys? Basically, I need to find out about high ovens.
Do the quest that requires you to make the "Steelworking and You" book. Read that book. Profit.
Classic case of "RTFM" from me. Thanks for the answer and for reminding me of the entire quest chain.
That will also take you down the path to Big Reactors, which is game changing.
With some tinkering you can fill a 7x7x* reactor with a single bucket of liquid ender

But that isn't how it works. You need source blocks in every corner.
Actually the reactor code does not care if it is "still", "source" or "flowing" so long as it is touching the rod it will cool it. If you can find a way for a single bucket to touch all 4 walls of every rod from top to bottom then it should work, but I highly doubt it is possible with a 7x7 reactor that is setup with a 5 rod X format that is the most efficient for a 7x7. If someone can post a solution to the 7x7x7 reactor that I posted earlier that has 5 rods with fewer than 8 buckets of resonant ender and still have it output 11.5k rf/t then you get a virtual cookie

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I use 4-rod reactor. So the bucket is right below of the block where the middle fuel rod controller would be if it was a 5-rod
I just completed the final prerequisite for the quests that require getting loads of blocks (The ME quest). Some of them (glacial) look too easy, some (oak wood) are just a matter of setting up a planter/harvester/fertilizer setup, some (soul sand) can be done in a single trip to the nether if you're so inclined, and some...well, here's my reaction to "Cobble gen madness".
"Okay, what's this one? "Cobble gen madness"? Well, I got a cobble generator, this might be simple."
"Hmmm. Only one block? This looks too easy. Let's just see how much is it..."
"FOURTY THREE MILLION? Well, I've got a cobble gen running, maybe this isn't too bad..."
...
...
"Well, looks like I'm gonna be on this one for a long time..."

How do you feed it with enough water? I tested on the first 3.0 version when steam turbines where released and for a 3x3x3 reactor I needed 3 extrautilities liquid nodes with several upgrades and it was BARELY enough
Guys, wtf am i doing wrong, it wont output the waste!
Do you have something to replace the waste with? Are you using 2 ports? One set to input and the other set to output. I think there is an issue with only trying to use a single port that might have been remedied in a newer version of Big Reactors. Which begs the question as to why we are on a version of BR that is 3-4 versions old?
Guys, wtf am i doing wrong, it wont output the waste!
I think you need to input more fuel before it starts to export the waste... Not sure though, your setup looks like it should be working otherwise.

Also, you might not have a full ingot worth of waste yet. The reactor will not eject until there is a full ingots worth. It is 1000 mb of waste per ingot. Hover over the yellow and blue bar and it will tell you the exact amounts. A reactor that small holds 4 ingots or 4000 mb of fuel/waste combo. It will not input or output until it has a full ingot to move around.

Using blocks it could be possible I think
I end up using the 7x7x7 and it's not enough power for me... I am building a second one beside
(can't go higher anymore and don't know any really good design for larger...)Nice idea, I tried a 4 rod 7x7x7 using a single bucket of resonant ender and placing then breaking blocks to force it to flow around all 4 rods made it work. Pretty nice setup. Most efficient use of materials I have seen yet. Produces 10.1k rf/t at 420% efficiency and only using a single bucket of coolant. Good Job!
Although if you have enough materials to create such a reactor, you probably have enough ender pearls or redstone dust to just fill all of the voids
