I'm hazarding a guess here.
I don't think the problem is that a reactor runs when its unloaded, I think its an issue when it (including its various infrastructure) is half-loaded.

I don't think the problem is that a reactor runs when its unloaded, I think its an issue when it (including its various infrastructure) is half-loaded.
As I understood it, it continues to make neutrons which pile up and on next load of the chunk operate normally (ie: tons of neutrons = tons of heat = boom). But if the neutrons had a life timer, perhaps they couldn't do that.
Replying to myself...
It appears you can place any waste into the short term container, however you can ONLY extract (via pipe, conduit, etc) the long term waste. So it makes a one way filter.
I remember trying this in either V2 or V3, neutrons created from waste containers refused to interact with fisson cores, breeder cores or those things you make tritium in (can't remember their name :S). Could be that Reika changed them since then though, but might be something to think about if you can't get such a setup to work in V6.
So cheaty. I'm trying to do it right, and with finite water no less!
Turns out a decent water supply on a liquid spiller (it's back!) supplying the north face of the container is more than enough. Also the reduced lifetime of the waste is a godsend.
I think that I'll be able to manage all the waste from a small reactor with just one spent fuel container in water, pulling the long term waste from it to a large pool of waste storage containers.
To my knowledge it uses steel blocks @ 90% block. It would be great if lead blocks were supported at 99% or similar.
Lead is not checked because checking the OreDict repeatedly is not performant.
I do not remember breaking that.
Cheater.
They do not tick after a chunk unloads, so that is not going to do anything at all unless you have an unshielded reactor.
Ok, having a bit of an issue with chromaticraft. How am I supposed to make boosted shards? I know is has something to do with liquid chroma, but that is it. Also, oddly enough, I have confirmed that kuro crystals are really uncommon. All other types have 17+ cave crystals in the mineral extractor's range, but kuro has 4, reliably.
https://github.com/ReikaKalseki/ChromatiCraft/blob/master/World/CrystalGenerator.java#L52
Code:
@Override
public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
chunkX *= 16;
chunkZ *= 16;
for (int i = 0; i < PER_CHUNK*this.getDensityFactor(world, chunkX, chunkZ); i++) {
int posX = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);
int posZ = chunkZ + random.nextInt(16);
int maxy = 64;
if (world.provider.isHellWorld)
maxy = 128;
int posY = 4+random.nextInt(maxy-4);
Block id = ChromaBlocks.CRYSTAL.getBlockInstance();
int meta = random.nextInt(16);
if (this.canGenerateAt(world, posX, posY, posZ)) {
world.setBlock(posX, posY, posZ, id, meta, 3);
MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(new CrystalGenEvent(world, posX, posY, posZ, random, meta));
//ReikaJavaLibrary.pConsole("Generating "+ReikaDyeHelper.dyes[meta].getName()+" Crystal at "+posX+", "+posY+", "+posZ);
}
int r = 3;
for (int k = -r; k <= r; k++) {
for (int l = -r; l <= r; l++) {
for (int m = -r; m <= r; m++) {
world.func_147479_m(posX, posY, posZ);
}
}
}
}
}I didn't say that you should do that explicitly. I know a bit of coding, y'know.
Anyways, it's not hard to detect existence of lead in other mods; you just have to catch the modIDs at initialization via oreDict reflection (or somehow, I have yet to dig into that pile myself.) Then if it exists, pass them on to an activated section of neutron code so it recognizes them.

Can you store the unix epoch time the neutron is spawned, and on update check if > 2 seconds has passed? If so immediately delete without interacting? That'd even fix the chunk loading issue.
Add four bytes to each neutron isn't that big, and querying the time is negligible....

Another potential bug: I'm using comparators on reservoirs to trigger actions on circuits (ie: reservoir is low, turn on grinder circuit). I've consistently observed where the comparator output isn't updated to reflect the state of the reservoir until I mouse over it with WAILA or right click to see contents. Somehow the reservoir is not updating it's state in regard to the comparator.
It also appears the fluid compression chamber doesn't work with comparators, which isn't such a huge problem because I can cache the quantity to detect in reservoirs, but I have to be able to rely on the reservoir updating it's signals (ie: out of water, emergency SCRAM).

Not a suggestion, really. But I just wanted to say "Thanks for a great mod!" Reika.
For awhile, I confess, I was one of those who just imitated what others had done, because the power transmission and the like didn't make sense to me. I mean, I read the words. I understood them. But it just didn't really mesh.
But, I wanted access to some of the things the higher tiers gave. So, I started with the fundamentals, borrowed other peoples setups for things, looking up how others had done this, or that.
And then, at one point, I wanted to do something that...I couldn't find out how anyone else had done it. My Google-fu failed, and turned up nothing. I was stuck. I was kind of frustrated.
And between one build and the next, just a few minutes apart. It was like my brain said "Dude, you're embarrassing me, stop." And it meshed. I could figure these things out for myself. It really was simple math, nothing terribly complex at all. I don't know why I didn't get it before. Just out of practice, I suppose, or just needed to be hands on for a bit with other peoples designs so I could learn it that way.
Either way, I'm having MUCH more fun coming up with my own designs, and having to actually think about things, than I ever did copying other peoples, so Thanks for a mod that actually made me think again.
I'm heading to Reactorcraft next. I wonder how many craters I'll leave, and how brightly they'll glow at night...

From my experience: make a test world, build your reactor design, and let it run for a while. I have had 20+ craters, and well....1 stable reactor.
