Fusion Reactor insanity...

You need to setup the output properly. I'd setup a showcase in a bit to show how it's done.

You need to setup 2 HV-transformers on sides of the reactor and output through them, test setup is on picture bellow.

Only problem is that reactor got only one EU storage and it will constantly try to empy itself if connected to MFSU.

Yeah it's really not good... To be honest GregTech will probably be the difference between me using FTB or using Tekkit, unless a good FTB option without GregTech is presented. I don't see it as a good mod, at all. It really breaks the balance in the game far more than it fixes it.

I'll say this at the very least, GregTech is certainly better than what EE2 did. EE2 practically gave you every thing for free.

Even though this thread is the most informative google result on this topic, I still can't manage to get this to work.

connecting the reactor to any kind of storage has no effect, no power is drained or recieved.

ATTENTION! The Fusionreactor energy output was significantly buffed as of version 2.06b. You must now use Supercondensators on the output sides to collect the energy.

Placing those on the output sides does drain the energy up to a point (presumably until the capacitors are charged), but I haven't found a way to get the energy from the capacitor into any kind of storage box.

So, how does it work?

It's probably because i'm using superconductive wires, I'll look into that bit later.

Just made new reactor, it still works with HV-transformers for outputs and high-voltage cables.
Maybe you are connecting hv-transformers wrong? 3-dot side should connect to the reactor.

so, reactor, then 2 hv transformers connected with their 3-dot-sides ot the reactor's 3-dot-sides, then a hv cable (with a cable splitter or not), and then a storage unit?
pretty sure that's what I did. will try it again when i'm at home... I also tried superconductive wires.

Hm, could there be a problem because of creative mode? We are using it to test random features of FTB, before replacing our vanilla MC server with it. The reactor is also close to the lowest bedrock layer.

Dunno, I'm just using NEI to spawn stuff in my test world.
Aaaand it stopped working when i changed something

mhh. now, how to figure out if it's a bug or we just don't know how to use it?
