Question about Big Reactors

[Zen300]

How much of an impact does Big Reactors have when added to an already generated world?

I ask since I realized now, about 3-4 days into my world that I didn't have Big Reactors in... And I'm decent enough into Blood Magic and some other mods that I do not want to reset the world just to add Big Reactors...

You'll need to find new chunks for yellorium, unless you have a mod that adds uranium already in.

Or you could just rely on a MFR Laser Drill with Lime or Yellow Focus. This will bring up loads of Yellorium(plenty to later be worth the fuel it costs in power if powered by a Big Reactor).

As above, you'll miss out on yellorium in chunks you've already loaded but if you have IC2 installed you should have uranium and I think you can also do something with reactorcraft pitchblende to make it usable(?)

Oh and you can use the laser drill from MFR to get your hands on yellorium.

EDIT: ninj'd

Newer versions of IC2E uranium wont work afaik due to the fact that this Uranium is no longer Oredict'ed as "Uranium". This is due to the fact that in the new refining process there is no step that is really equal to the other mods "Uranium ingots".

But it is indeed oredic'ed the same as Pitchblende and the 2x Uraniums from Rotary/Reactorcraft. You should be able to use a Unifier/Automatic Dictionary Convertor or equivalent to transform these into yellorium.

As far as I know, even in Monster 1.1.2 pulverizing IC2 uranium ore gives you yellorium dust.

So it does... Did not know that!

Or sort of did. Discovered that nether uranium did but never made the connection. Thought that was a bug

Is it going to really warp up the terrian though, if I go out and generate new chunks?

Like will I see a desert sprout out of a Taiga, cutting the Taiga biome short... This is a bigger concern then finding the ore lol, the ore should be easy to find. Just run off in a single direction with my Ritual fo Magnetism and have fun

No it will not mess with biome generation. All it will do is generate some Stone blocks as Yellorium Ore instead.
