Yup, that's the plan. It's just taking forever to get all the chrome I need for it (is there really not a uu recipe for chrome??). Time to automate some more centrifuges or step up the bee production. The IDSUs actually took a long time to build and I was hoping to use them as a way to repurpose my lava age (which I set up as eternal storm) once lava ceased to scale well. But I'd read some things about how it negatively effects tick rate to calculate rod to sky on lightning rods, and I've been having some tick rate issues (and unfortunately the item loss in me networks in the tickthreading mod has scared me away until its fixed; hoping Naller does well on their exams). The steam is a good mid range solution though. I'd get along fine with having to build steam turbines, but it seems silly to not use a better (in my opinion) tool when it is available. Steel isn't really an issue once you build an enderman spawner and automate minium stones (or breed the bees for minium & ender pearls or steel or both).
Can the new fusion reactor fit inside a single chunk? If it can I'd seriously consider trying to rebuild everything within a single chunk base because I'd read that tick threading didn't eat stuff in an me network if the network didn't sit on a chunk edge or cross boundaries.
