  1. I think they can, but I haven't actually tested that. edit: Tested and it works.
  2. Consider magtubes and accelerators for the stuff going between floors... That will bring items quickly to the top floor retriever. Much more quickly, so long as the accelerators are blupowered.
  3. Using a plain thermal monitor, one can easily have it "hover" at a specific temperature, meaning it runs a tick or two when it drops below the target temperature. Just wire the thing back onto the reactor. Doing the 8 min cooldown wait is a bit harder - CC is definitely the cheapest way to do it.
  4. I stopped using CC for this purpose myself. I now just use the thermal monitor (nuclear control addon, part of tekkit), and hook it back to the reactor with a (redpower) jacketed wire. I usually also connect this wire to the mfsu I usually have next to it, so it stops when the generated power would be wasted. Alternatively, you'd have to get the ccSensors addon, installing it on the server as well as every client that connects (it wouldn't be a tekkit server anymore) to actually use the CC computer in a useful fashion here. (This would be an option if ccSensors was added to tekkit.) Here are some of your problems: - There is no way to determine the temperature of the reactor using CC, outside of getting "over/under threshold" redstone signals from thermal monitors. In which case there's no good reason not to use their output directly into the reactor instead of going through CC. - When the chunk unloads, the computer is shut down. This means all state is lost, including counted temperature of the reactor. Unless you flush it to disk every tick, which is probably going to tick off the server admin. (Counted, as in how many ticks it's been active * excess heat generation from the calculator) - (Given counted temperature) CC only works with real time. The "conversion rate" to minecraft time is 20 ticks per second - when the server isn't overloaded. If it ran at 20 when you were generating, and 10 when you were cooling off, you're screwed. I gave up on it. The nuclear control addon is better anyway, and if you can afford the reactor you can probably afford the thermal monitor.
