Hey guys, I'm having the copper predicament that a few people seem to be having with the 1.5.2 modpacks and I'm also trying different things to what I used to use in FTB Ultimate and before.
So what I've got set up is a bunch of nuclear reactors using the advanced setup from the wiki along with a breeder reactor making all of my uranium last 8 times longer. The problem I'm having is that the reactors need quad uranium cells instead of single ones to produce the reasonable amount of EU/t that they do.
That in itself is not the problem. The problem is that each one of those needs 32 copper for the dense copper plates - which multiplied by the number of reactors I have (currently only 4, but I plan to upgrade that to many more) - becomes 128 every 2 hours and 47 minutes. All the time I've not got quarries running or the laser drill running, I run out of copper extremely quickly.
I don't mind a high up front copper cost, but what sort of reactor setup would I be going for that is 100% safe and will produce a reasonable amount of EU/s without constantly draining my copper after creation?
If one of you IC2 nuclear experts out there wouldn't mind drawing up a reactor setup that adheres to that, I'd be greatly appreciative. I don't mind the format, but the IC2 reactor planner would be best. Thanks in advance!
TLDR; Nuclear reactor design that uses single uranium cells and is 100% stable.
