I wanted a powersystem for my ssp world, that would substain itself and still very powerful. I had played with rotarycraft before, so i knew that, but i never tried out reactorcraft.

So my startingpoint in this creativeworld was that reactorcraft had some powerful elements. and I wanted to use that for power. and the effeciency of said powersytem was what it was and I would have to deal with it in some way.

So I started trying to do that. I started with fission reactors, though I always ended up blowing them up, so i quickly abandoned fission-reactors.

I looked at breeder-reactors. i liked them, but because i knew heated up faster than the fission reactors. So with my failure in fission-reactors I never did breeders.

Then I thought about that fusion reactors were so powerful, so why not build one of them. So I started looking around on the internet, and soon realised i wasn´t at the stage resourcewise, where i could build that thing.

I realised i had never looked at pebblebed reactors, because there wasnt a lot of documentation on them and
I thought they were supposed to be early game and not very powerful. Then I realised, that the few people I had seen make them, only made them 4 to 8 cores with the exception of a friend of mine which made 40 core reactor and ran a hp turbine on it. so i started thinking what if you massively scaled it up to plus 250 cores.

well, I wanted to find out... so I ended up spending a 3 days in a creative testworld just to find out and the product was the the king of all pebblebeds

power per ebbled core ended up being about 238 MW per core
and a total 371 MW to run the reactor and keep it substained
total power 68,719 GW

pebblebed´o´tron 9001

English isn´t my first language, so sorry for my bad english.

Super neat. Paging @Reika as a courtesy because he might find it amusing.

Your 4th screenshot was critical. Steam in pipeline is "rising slowly." Glad you included that.

Thanks for the fun pics :)

glad you enjoyed it :)

yeah I was actually forced to do 2 seperate steamlines because the last 2 turbines were struggling for steam with 1 central line. i think i might be able support 2 more, maybe more on the current setup. just couldnt bother building any more on those big turbines

hmm my current tick time is fluctuating between 20 and 30 ms, and i dont have a powerful computer

i never build a fusion reactor so i wouldnt know how it compares

yeah its bit excessive to say the least
though those 238 mw per core seem a bit much, but i havent played much with reactorcraft

and it only hits my fps mildly and my tps is as said 20 with a ticktime of about 25ms.

the next challenge is gonna be to implement in my survival world...

think i am gonna make a new world for it though as the old one is laggy enough :)

Nice one
Never thought a HTGR could power six HP turbines :O

What are these green blocks on top of the lily pads? Is that another growth accelerator?
And what kind of tank are you using?

its eight turbines to start with :)

its just magicalcrops lamp nothing special about other than i liked them, no growth accelration.
for the tank i am using openblocks tank set to a capacity of 16 buckets :)
