IC2 Reactors, I got a design I like, but have questions

[Brian Cherrick]

Here is what I got planned so far

It lasts an entire cycle, but the problem I had in my test world and couldn't figure out was how to put the repaired condensators back in the reactor, export buses don't work. Is there a way to get them back in there, or must it be done by hand.

I got the dw20 pack, with gregtech installed, and a few others.

Thanks much

Brian

Direwolf did it with golems from what I remember.

how so? i'm pretty sure fuzzy buses can handle condensator swap.

Might look into that. Buses, fuzzy or otherwise aren't working less I am doing something wrong. Can't remember how he did it on golems though.

I've tried playing around with the settings on the fuzzy, and couldn't get it to accurately put the fully repaired condensators back in. This is the reactor design I'd love to use as soon as I can figure that out. Got any ideas ?

Is this 1.6? If so, Thermal Expansion itemducts can read meta data as well as NBT data.

Didn't think about that ... how would I set those up in the ducts?

All you would need is an servo on the itemduct connected to the reactor. Then, right click the connection with an empty hand and set it to use NBT and meta data, then put the condensator in the filters and set it for whitelist.

That solves the transfering problem, but introduces another. The speed of it all. There is usually 4-6 that need to be replaced at any given time. Is there a way to do this with buses, or somehow to shut the reactor off (by way of redstone logic) while the switches are occurring? I ask this because when the bus sucked the bad ones out, the overall reactor temp shot up, almost to the point of explosion. Itemducts, were sucking all the condensators out,whereas the bus precise coming out). Which introduces another problem. Is there a way to bring the reactor temp down, because water flowing over the top doesn't seem to do it

There are impulse itemducts, which are must faster then normal ones. As for cooling, you would need coolant cells for near instant cooling.

That solves the transport problem both going into, and coming out of the reactor.

Although when I put the coolant cells in there, they don't seem to do anything for the temperature. Heat vents do, but it goes through them fast, not to mention it doesn't output as much EU.

If I were to go with heat vents, is there a way it can replace them without screwing up, or is it bound to screw up (like it might replace a vent with a condensator) ?

Not sure if Gregtech has any blocks that could/would help?

Thoughts?

Factorization routers can insert into specific slots, as can turtles I think. If you try to do both vents and condensators without something able to insert into specific slots, well, I hope you like craters.

Trying to figure out how to use the factorization. With upgrades, it's letting me pick which slots to put into. But not sure what slots are what numbers. That and not sure how many items 1 router can process.

Got any pics of a setup/gui pics I can see to show me ?

 

[Wagon153]

I don't as I'm just going off of my knowledge of Factorization. However, you can test to see which slot number is which.

Gonna look into it here shortly. With really only needing 1 vent, and the rest condensator's, just looking at it in my test world to make sure if the vents run out, that it doesn't put a condensator there. It can function fine temp wise w/o anything in the corner

Factorization Routers will do it \o/

Check out my old absolutely 100% self-sustainable breeder, reactor and ME system. Everything you see here was powered by putting the cells into the Nuclear reactor and from there, the magic took place. My favorite part of it was one breeder was causing the generating of over 1500 EU/t and was tons and tons of fun to build.

Now I know that things have changed but routers and stuff still work the same

I'm not denying they will do it, just not sure how to set them up. As for your old setup, that is like 7, or 8 different reactors yes? I'm trying to cram my production all into one, just running into issues where it comes to replacing the condensators.

Right. I'm trying to remember what I had set up. I know that you pick the slot with the router, then the fuzzy bus will say when it pulls out X item. For condensators I imagine your Fuzzy Import Bus will determine when they are low, pull them out and then replace them with your router and Precision Export Bus.

Keep in mind that you need to find a reactor that dissipates enough heat during the exchange that you do not NET heat. You want it to balance out.
