My ultimate quest for UU-Matter (Need some help! [Infinity Evolved])

[Zalison]

So recently I've been messing around with dimlets and I've discovered it's possible to create a dimension with all UU matter oceans. However to create the UU matter dimlet I need about 16000mb of UU matter. So I wanted to created a bunch of recyclers and mass fabricators all being fed by igneous extruders to try and farm up the uu-matter to make this dimlet. Though the only problem is power!

Eu power to be precise. Right now I have 10 geothermals hooked up to my 7x7x7 iron tank (infinite nether lava set up) and that power output isn't enough to stabilize my ONE mass fabricator let alone like 5 of them! So I figured a nuclear reactor is the way to go for mass amounts of EU power. Though I can not for the life of me find any updated tutorials online.

I posted on here a few days ago about running an automated one but I don't care about that any more I just want a lot of EU and fast. I would like the safest possible set up though. If anyone has any advice or short cuts about my overall plan for the UU matter world it would be greatly appreciated too. If not just give me your best nuke set ups! Thanks guys.

I'll bite. Zallson, What are you using tto create an infinite nether lava pool? Or are you just pulling from a massive lake?

You'll bite? Do you think this is all a joke sir? I'm using an ender thermatic pump hooked up to an ender tank. It pumps lava from the nether directly into my tank.

Sorry, I didn't mean to insult or make fun of your post. My family always used 'I'll bite' to show interest in something said.

Your configuration sounds very similar to a setup a player is using on a server I manage. I was worried you had found a way to generate lava for little or no cost within "FTB Infinity Evolved". We had an issue with the last modpack. A few of our players found an OP way to generate power using crucibles.

Ahh okay. All good man you didn't insult me. Any advice for my issue or was that all?

Not sure, I'll ask around, I do not have much experience with IC2. Cruising around our server I found one player using a Big-Reactor tied to power her setup. Looks like she is using 3 smaller passivity cooled 1.4K/T reactors to power a single mass fabricator. I'll have to watch the MF to see if it's staggering along or constantly powering. Not much help

You could make nuclear reactors (not the actively cooled ones) from IC2 and eventually upgrade to MOX. See here for some useful designs. Oh and a bunch of IC2 windmills at optimal height are not too shabby either.

If you have a way to produce them, and assuming they're in the pack, make hv solars.

I don't play infinity so I'm not sure if it is.

Keep in mind you can use Immersive Engineering cables to RF to EU (and vice versa). Chances are that dimension will cost an assload of RF to create, and a substantial amount to keep active. It would serve you well to build a IC2 reactor (and MOX after that), and branch into as many different ways to generate power as possible. If I recall correctly, Big Reactors is gated behind IC2 nukes, so if you're looking for something to put out a large amount of power, this is the right chain to go down.

Unfortunately, I've not played with IC2 nukes at all, so I'm no help on designing something efficient or stable.

There are a limited number of slots in a big reactor, and the various vents have a fixed amount of reactor cooling they can perform. This puts a very low limit on the amount of heat a IC2 reactor can deal with per tick without requiring either consumable components or downtime to allow it to cool.

If you are looking for "lots" of safe, hassle free, EU, you are looking at building a cluster of reactors, and the designs on the automation thread all fit the bill.

Is this maths right?
The official ic2exp wiki says 166,666 EU and 34 Scrap per mB of UU-Matter, or 1,000,000 per mB if scrap is not provided.

So, assuming scrap, and ignoring the EU (and time) requirements of scrap production that is still 2,666,656,000 EU to make 16 buckets of UU Matter.

A simple Mk I reactor can produce 360EU/t (with an efficiency of 3x). Thats 7,200EU/s, which works out to 23,148s per bucket: 6.5 hours per reactor to produce a bucket of UU matter. (Which is also quite a lot of uranium). 103 hours using a single reactor (Just over 4 days) to produce all the UU-Matter you need.

--
An unenhanced recycler consumes 1EU/t to produce 1scrap per ~20s. So, each scrap costs 400EU. So each mB of UU-Matter requires an additional 13,600 EU to cover the scrap generation costs.
So increase the above calculations by ~10%.
