Still can't get my fusion reactor to feed anything besides itself.

I have an imgur album with pictures detailing what I have set up, which can be found at this link:

The descriptions below the pictures should guide you through what I have. Basically, every time I turn the reactor on, it just feeds itself like its not connected to anything. It feeds two super conductor cables which go below, and feed into 2 super condensators each. Those super condensators feed into 4 HV-transformers each, which then feed an IDSU. Once I get that working, there is a room of machines below that are linked to automatically produce tritium and deuterium and feed it into the reactor. But no energy is being output! Ideas?

Doesn't it need like 90 million eu to start?

If you looked at the album, you'd see it had 100 million eu, started, setting it back down to 40million eu wgen it feeds itself back to 100 million.

Can you provide a clearer screenshot without the GUI? Maybe you can try to disable one of the output? and you can discard the supercondensators because you can connect the superconductor wires directly to HV transformers but nvm if you want it there..

If you are using the superconductor wire you only need one output.

Im guessing that in that mess there is a backwards transformer or condensator keeping the output from flowing.

The fusion reactor takes power to start, then stores enough power to start cold, and THEN gives out power.(assuming you aren't making Iridium)
Wait for the reactor to fill up, then it'll start emitting power. Also if you only have 2 of the required isotopes for it, you might have a issue getting it to give you enough power to make the whole thing worth using.

It was definitely the supercondensators preventing energy output. I thought the set ups I've been seeing without super condensators were older versions of gregtech, so tested it in creative SP and it charges perfectly without them, exact same set up otherwise. Thanks for the assistance!
