Good or Bad?

[Archie Duffy]

So I've started getting into Big Reactors and have just made a Passively Cooled Reactor that generates 29.9 KiRF/t. I want to know if that's good good or bad for a 7x7x11 reactor.

You mean Big Reactors don't you?
My 7x7x7 reactor on AS produced around 12k RF/t. Note that the generation amount depends on the config.

This is not reactorcraft.

The big magic box of all the RF is BigReactors

But 29k isn't too bad for passively cooled IIRC.

Yes, sorry. I get confused easily.

Just rebuilt it in a more permanent place and now it's making 35.7 KiRF/t. Best. Glitch. Ever.

What exactly do you mean by passively cooled?

That's the type of reactor I'm using. Not exactly sure what it means.

What exactly do you mean by passively cooled?

more likely means he is using the elements built to keep it cool instead of pumping water into it and exporting the steam to steam turbines

The more you know!

Completely forgot about the whole turbine thing, I must take a look into that.

Sounds like a great implementation. How is it configured inside and what is the temperature and fuel consumption rate?

Heat: Average of 1876
Fuel Consumption: 0.473 mB/t
Fuel Reactivity: 425%

(Aerial View)
-C = Reactor Casing
-R = Resonant Ender
-Y = Control Rod/Yellorium Fuel Rod
-G = Gelid Cryotheum

Width + Depth = 7 blocks
Height = 11 blocks[DOUBLEPOST=1406407936][/DOUBLEPOST]I do suggest changing the Resonant Ender to Gelid Cryotheum so the Fuel Consumption and Heat will lower. Me personally haven't had time to make the 144 buckets of Gelid Cryotheum.
