HI!
So this evening 8-ish hours from the time I post this, I want to set up a Reactor from Big Reactors.
But I'm not quite sure how it works so I'm looking for some one who is willing to explain it to me.
And it would be preferred if it could go over TS3, Skype, Mumble I don't care what program you like to use for it.
I will put my world on a server that i will temporally set up.
This is with the DW20 Pack.
One requirement, act mature I dont care about your age but if your gonna act immature im going to get annoyed and you'll see what happens then :rolleyes:
Any ways, if you feel like helping post here send me a PM or something.

The tutorial is split in two parts and is a good starting point for Big Reactors.

The questions you have to answer, is how much RF do you want to produce, how fast and how fuel-efficient do you want to be. This will determine the size and configuration of your reactor.

Well lets say I have a Power suit that is able to drain my magmetic dynamo's in seconds....
So it will be a replacement for the dynamo's those will then only power my suit :D... or that is the plan.
And thanks Ill be sure to check it out.

So if I get it right, you want to generate a lot of RF to store and then use only to charge your power suit.

This means you may not need a ton of RF/tick, but enough to build up energy while you are elsewhere.. I think a 5x5x5 with 5 yellorium tubes dumping its energy into a big energy cell could be good for you.
Be sure to have some kind of trigger to toggle the reactor off when your energy cell is full, to save your yellorium ingots. A computer seems like a cool way to do it.

Have a look here http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/thr...tartup-11-attempt-to-index-a-nil-value.59632/ for basic programs that will do just that :)

if you need a bit of power, a generator or dynamo is sufficient, if you need power on demand, a reactor is the way to go (you can configure it so it'll only turn on when needed, thus saving fuel when you don't need power), if you need alot of constant power, try investing in a turbine (a turbine will require the reactor to constantly run, which also means a constant fuel usage)
