Big Reactor Yellorium Rods: Do they need coolant on all sides?

[Daniel_USA]

One design that I occasionally use that might be of use:

http://br.sidoh.org/#reactor-design...out=2G3E4GCEC2GECXCXC3ECXC3ECXCXCE2GCEC4G3E2G

In effect, it's a typical X reactor with cryotheum/resonant ender optimized and corners filled with graphite. When I don't care as much about efficiency and just want power, I go for something like this:

http://br.sidoh.org/#reactor-design...ECGCXCXCXCECXCXCECXCXCXCECXCXCECXCXCXCGCECECG

Dropped fuel efficiency, but it's got more raw power output.

I took a look at your reactors and I started playing around with them.
The second one is very inefficient but does produce RF at an incredible rate.
I edited your builds and found I could push a little more RF out of each if you want to look at them now.

Well yes, I said the second was quite inefficient in my post. It's more for the end-game 'I don't care how inefficient the generator is, I need moar powah' sort of situations.

You squeezed about 100RF/t out of the first reactor, so less than one percent change, but the second reactor shows around 6 RF/t difference, or a change of less than one percent OF one percent. However, since it uses more Resonant Ender and less Gelled Cryotheum, it might be more economical to fill due to material costs where gelled cryotheum is more difficult to obtain.

I completely understand. I was just tinkering with the settings and thought I would share my findings. The differences are so minute though.

I wouldn't mind copying that bigger style reactor later on but I wouldn't be able to keep up with the yellorium consumption at this time. Maybe once I get a few MFR Lasers with green focus and switch to Uranium.

Lime Focus.

Got it!

I experimented with "Saguaro Cactus" and found out they grow like oak saplings. (Touching Each Other). I have to see what I can use to plant them and farm them for green dye instead of using vanilla cactus. I got 2 barrels full of bones as well.

You only need 1 Cactus green per focus And each MFR laser drill needs 20kRF/t to be maxed out. Just start out with one. It will supply enough yellorium for loads of reactors usually.

Also, I have recently discovered the Steam Boiler from Minefactory Reloaded can run a 20 blade 2 sets of enderium block coil at 900 RPM and climbing. Around 5k RF/t from a 3 x 3 x 7 (internal) turbine.

I think I will try that today.
